I've owned these shoes since around Christmas 2006, they were a great cop then and now. Too bad they have fallen apart on me, their reign is over. RIP old friend.

Those look fantastic! Back in 2001, maybe early 2002, they released the Black/Olive IX retros, and like some others I hired a Cobbler to paint the olive part black. He did a great job and they looked like yours here.

I busted these babies out yesterday and wore them for the first time in several years. I remember buying them in April, 1998 on a trip to England. These "suedes" retros were hard to find in the USA at the time, very hard, but they had remained popular in Europe. The date on the tag below has a...

BTW, yesterday was my 20th Anniversary on Nike Talk, LOL. :)

I hope all who wanted it were able to cop, but it's just not for me. Too much of a good thing.

I did wear these occasionally until around 2012 or so. Last 10 years, not so much.

I went out to my storage area to check on some of my older AJ retros, and to my dismay found that my AJ 6 white/university blues had suffered some kind of foam-rot and had to be disposed of. I recall buying these shoes sometime in mid-2002 when they were released, I think in tandem with a...

Love this shoe. 🙌

Nice!

Not for me. Though I've been known to change my mind on drop date, LOL.

Still in shock ... was never the biggest Kobe fan but there's no question he was a Larger than life figure in the NBA and sports world generally. Gone at 41? That just makes no sense. God console his family and the families of the other 7 people lost in the tragedy.

Four others died in the crash, I have seen no confirmation as to who they are. God console Kobe's family.

Black Mamba Forever.

I'm a big fan of these, bought the black with white swoosh CW when it came out for the playoffs in 1996. Still have that pair:

Thanks for the sympathies. It does hurt to lose a pair like these.

Wore these kicks for the first time in a few years today and guess what, the heels fell off as i was coming back through the door. I bought these in March, 2002 so almost 16 years old. Like many back then, I had a cobbler paint the olive part black, and he did a real fine job. The paint lasted...

My vintage "Rodman" Air Shake Ndestrukt's, bought in August 1996, so 21+ years old. Worn frequently the first 10 or so years, not so much the last few. Air bubble has milked over, I assume the gas has undergone some chemical change, and the plastic bottom is showing some cracks, but overall...

Great shoe, had a pair circa 1986 (?), felt great on the court and looked great too.

Likewise. :)

I think it's natural that, once you have yours, you want to feel like you got something exclusive that not everyone else has. I mean, would the shoe game be as much fun if they sold Js retail for $20 and everyone had a pair? I don't think so. Also, if the shoes sit then maybe Nike cuts back...
