    Am I tripping or is there no way Mike's wearing Chicago's in that picture. Chicago's don't have a red heel piece (like the AJKO's) and the pair Mike's wearing has that red heel piece.

    There has been multiple rumors about that picture. One was that he needed something a little more sturdy (like mentioned). The other was that they were testing out the midsole for the 2's and molded them onto the 1's. No clue what's more legit, but it could have honestly been a mix of both. I'd LOVE to find a pair of those someday.

    The only other one that I don't think has been posted that I'd absolutely love to find one day is the Blk/Red AJ1's from 85 with AIR JORDAN written out in plain text. He's got them tied together and hanging on his shoulder on the playground basketball court. Believe it was a prototype from before they designed the Wings Logo. God, I'd give anything to own that shoe. Wonder if Nike even has those in the archive or if they are long gone.

    Sole, the owner of the white/Royal blue IV's is Jay Jones. I remember he posted it more than once in the past. He also has one foot. Maybe Retired has 1 and Jay has 1. They need to come up with a deal and unite the pair. :lol: [​IMG]

    Man O Man. I forgot about that pair of Black/Red AJ I's with the Air Jordan written out. That is a true grail. I don't think that Mike ever wore those in a game. Maybe it was for picture purposes only ?? Maybe MJ has the only sample production pair sitting in his closet.

    Sole - I'm positive they are AJ1's, I was just confused why others thought they could be Chicago's. Probably just read the comments wrong.

    Anywho, that's the picture I was referring to. I had it on my other laptop but couldn't find my flash-drive. The history behind that picture and shoe is something I can't even describe. I still don't get why they had the WINGS logo done but hadn't put it on the shoe. Wish I could find out more about them; it's a very confusing and cool shoe to say the least.

    Mandingo - Jay has the wht/blue AJ IV sample? Never seen him post them even once.

    Ruben got that pair (or shoe) off a guy from France overseas. I didn't trust the guy and thought he was fugazi, and low-and-behold, I saw Ruben post them up a few weeks/months later. I was pissed. :lol: [​IMG]

    Hmmm, thats strange that noone has seen Jay's pic. Maybe I possibly saw Retired's pic? For some odd reason, I remember Jay on that pair. I will shoot him an email and direct him to this post. Maybe he could clear it up for us.

    Metallic Green's anyone?

    My favorite of the Metallic series.


















    I feel really sad posting up this pair from Sugimoto, this pair should've really been mine mine mine, it was just one of those bad timings.

    Hey guys, I absolutely do not have a pair of those IV samples.
    I wish I did, but have never been presented with the opportunity to acquire them. Great pics and great discussion in this post, keep it up!
