[big daddy 8523]

Black/Red's I didn't like the Frenchies Cause they were Wizards Colors and even though Mj looked great in them he played terrible.

I would've gone with the Raptors (don't really like calling them that). It brings me back to when I had the OGs in 7th grade. Fresh to def on my 1stday at school

Cant believe that was in 02. I had a pair on lock @ this spot in Oregon, but dude sold them before I got there ... Needless to say I never went back.

I copped the French Blue and wore them to bring in the 05 at a new years party when I came home my shoe wore tore up, like I was hooping in them. That was agood night though!!

Then don't.

'Black/red' is what I call them.

Neither, I wasnt heavy into shoes at that time like I am now. I did however pick up a DS pair of the black/reds about a year ago on the bay for 110 shipped,not a bad price IMO.

I bought both at the time. At the time of this purchase, I remember buying both at Niketown Chicago, with them being my first Jordan purchase since the 99 IVs.

[Animal Thug]

One of my top Favorite Shoes ever...

^^These are my first pair; only wore them 5 times....copped my 2nd DS pair earlier this year

I remember when they first released; it was about 1:30 pm and the guy working at FL said i was the first person to cop. I was shocked...but then again, it was2002; and hypebeasts were still in elementary school

.

I love the Frenchies also; but ever since my girl rocked them back than, i always thought they looked better on females.

 

[airportchy]

Before I even clicked the thread I knew exactly what shoes they were going to be.

I only grabbed the black joints, they sold out of the blue.

I was very upset and still am. I need to add these to my must cop list!

Neither. I was a broke intern at the time. But I eventually picked up both last year, ds. The French's first, then the Black/Red.

I do remember I was fiend'out for the White/French Blue pair when Fabolous was wearing them in the Trade it All remix video with the Lakers Mitchell &Ness Jersey. That was a tough combination there.



If I had to choose only one though, the Black/Red pair take it.

 

[zkingofjays]

Would rather have these!

 

[ny giants 11]

I obtained both on December 7th 2002 - a week early.

I miss Philadelphia shoe stores...

 

[23collector1985]

Can we please just call them the "Playoff VIIs" instead of the "Raptors"?!

Raptors is a ridiculous nickname!

 

[yungxcve]

playoffs? playoffs? your talkin bout playoffs?

I think playoffs are a just as bad nickname.

oh yeah and to answer your question, both.

 

[randz4937]

best thing to do is get both.
