I just got the white pair and i must say they look alot better then the orginal picture of them Also great quality leather was used on them. Hope I can get the black pair by the end of the week.
160, congrats on getting your white pair; and thanks for the picture. whenever someone gets the black pair, please post more pics. thanks.
Thanks but its not that much of a big deal and becuase you where so nice on asking if I get my other pair this week I'll post a pic. You sound like a nice guy and there are not many on niketalk Oh by the way does anyone have pics of the t-shirt that goes with both colorways.
Mom and Pop by me had the white, and was selling, i was impressed with the quality....are the black's going to be harder to get?
a little info for you concerning the numbers on the shoes..... For those of you receiving the Retro 1's. Here is some information about the markings on the shoe: 3 = # of homeruns 51 = # of RBI's It's actually B & B for Birmingham Barons (not S & B) These are some of Michael Jordan's key minor league baseball stats with the Birmingham Barons: 3 home runs, 51 RBI's, and 30 stolen bases. Some in the media, even today, look back on MJ's stint as a baseball player as a mistake, a failed experiment, a bust. Those who view it in those terms, choosing to measure the success or failure of that experience through statistics alone, are entirely missing the point. Consider, Michael Jordan had completed his Three-Peat, had accomplished all he'd set out to accomplish in his chosen profession, and was in dire need of a long rest. And on top of it all, his father James was taken from him in an untimely tragedy. Understandable, then, his need to step away from the game he so loved to reassess his priorities and his place in the world. Baseball, his first love, came calling, and he answered as much out of wanting to escape the crucible of pro basketball as for the longing for the joy of sport he wished to find once again. Tinker Hatfield went to see MJ play baseball just once, and what struck Tinker was how much fun Michael was having. The phrase "for the love of the game" has been somewhat overwrought and overused by now, but it couldn't have been more accurate a description of how MJ had once again fallen in love with playing a game. In the locker room afterwards, MJ wasn't the superstar surrounded by lights, cameras, microphones and journalists; he was just another player, one of many wanting to make the big club, laughing and joking around with the other guys with the relaxed ease familiar to locker rooms shared by any close-knit team. The one "superstar" gesture MJ did make, however, was to buy the Barons a new team bus. Michael looks back fondly to his days with the Barons, for it was there that he reconnected with the joy of sport and the freedom of expression that only athletic competition can provide. To this day, Michael maintains friendships with some of his old teammates.
I work for a Finishline here In Phoenix and we just got an e-mail yesterday saying Finishline is the only mall based retailer that is going to have them. Ifanyone else heard different i apologize in advance.
I think I'll cop both, they look pretty fresh. Personally, I'd rather have two pairs of I's than the one pair of the XX3's coming out thefollowing weekend if I have to drop about $230-$250.
thats sweet if true i can get them for 70ish then... but there ok, its other stuff i would like to have more, ill wait to see them in person.
