That pale orange ruined these, also having it on the midsole makes these looks trash. Too bad, they could have been one of the best colorways ever of the 8s
I know the person who restored these, this was his personal pair. I have a 2001 pair that looks similar to this and the seller customized them to have the Nike air back tabs and swapped the tongues to have the red lining rather than blue.
I lost every raffle i entered, tbh i don’t even care and can move on. I paid $800 for the UNC OW when they dropped and I’ll never do that again, especially for this colorway
Walked into JD Sports and was able to grab a size 10 with no problem. I was out of town last week so i was glad i was able to grab them still for retail and not have to pay shipping
Just got mine in last week, struck out on the raffle and SNKRS. But luckily i traded one of the homies my VNDS CPFM Dunks and $75. I’m really pleased with these. With that said, i don’t think we need any more Union 1 colorways
I think they went this route because with a lot of OG metallic blue 1s, the collar cracks and peels off and it leaves the foam exposed, which kinda looks like this.
