Both are dead on to the originals minus the obvious. They even got the color fading correct inside the air unit. Stuff like this makes it damn near impossible to stop buying sneakers. F*&^ it... White/Black (2x), Black/Royal (5x) I'm also interested to see how these sell overall. Most of the recent retro Nikes have all ended up marked down except for the royal Foamposite One retro.And those and the Penny 2's were the most popular shoes out of the line. Even my girl wants these, and she DOES NOT even wear sneakers like that. But likemost, these were her favorites back when she was in school. If I had to put money on it, I see these selling out fast in NYC, Chicago, DMV & SF/Bay area (home of the beasts), but ending up marked down everywhereelse.
I was pissed in '07 living on LI I thought I missed out on the GODZILLAS but when I moved to Houston ALL the Basketball retros was marked down crazy and Ijust backtracked and paid less than half for all (barkleys and foams)
so these hit stores on the 27th? I can't wait that damn long. if these hit pys before rd,im copping early .
Most likely. Probably more measures to "respect the OG collectors." Or they lost the dying process for Atlantic Blue and went with a morereadily available color in Varsity Royal. The Spiridon retros also had a change of colors, too; the OGs were "regal blue" but the retros were "Varsity Royal." Varsity royallooks like this, which doesn't seem *too* off from Atlantic Blue.

To me a hypebeast is someone who tries to stand out for attention with their clothing. Whether it be limited expensive clothing or shoes that other's don't have just so they feel they are superior to other's. Trying to be different for the sake of...
Hopefully there would be enough stock for all of us. I will wait for it to go 40 off until I cop 2 pairs.
Everyone were screaming "retro the blk Penny IIs" for YEAAAARS amd now all of a sudden they're releasing people are asking for the atlantics.Thats crazy. FLASHBACK October 96, senior year. I went to school late just so I could be the first to rock Penny's.
I think these will have more then average momentum behind them, I showed a few non-shoehead friends and the response I got was "WOW I had those...got toget them again" "you GOTTA let me know when those come out I loved them" etc etc.
Infectious!!!!!! The Blk/Royals are def a must cop. And to think we almost didn't see these due to some laziness by a fellow NTer I joke, I kid,thanks to the OP and my mans for the pics.
