Nice pair.  Even back then, nike didnt know how to paint midsoles.  I remember most pairs had the cracked paint on the midsoles after a while.

Thanks,I posted this pic last September and somehow the post got deleted.

You are correct...these are a Vac-Tech version...

JM

first the diamond fury's, now these.  don't the *****ticks at nike realize this new technology garbage slapped on these retros don't mix?

 

[leongunera]

Good luck man. These almost never come up for sale. Been looking for years for a 13.

Pffft I know man.... it was easier to find my Larry Johnson's grandmAna's than it will be for these Air Ups

Garbage vac tech huh. Stupid nike

 

[RustyShackleford]

Why couldn't Nike do like the AIr Raids, have one regular design, and one stupid remix design

Hey nike... if vac tech is so awesome why doesnt it stand alone and sell great with its own original models.........

oh yeah , thats right, because its a cheap replacement for decent materials. 

You straight wasted those air max b's and the cb34's...now these too?

 I have a hard enough time with the "fuse" aka melted plastic shoes you make me buy to hoop in every time now, without having to deal with new plastic retros. 

Id like to hear one of yalls board meetings.  " So how are we gonna infuriate anyone over 30 today while simultaneously lowering quality expectations and building hype?"

" I know, lets make everything that has no business being neon or plastic neon and plastic."

This has been clown business for years now

Wow!! Thanks for in the info J!
I'm all in in those Pips's! Hopefully they keep that "33" stitching on the heel tab.

Whats the point of keeping the 33?...they destroyed the rest of the shoe.

Depressing.... These shoes will rot on shelves

And I was so excited for these too

If these hit $20 I MIGHT purchase the og colorway

Man I remember getting the black/white joints in 8th grade for basketball, October '94. Every one on the team was digging them. May buy these under retail just for nostalgic purpose but seeing those retros like that is killing me.

 

[edintx81]

the black and blue penny hardaway editions is all need to be said

 

 

[jeddahblaster]

time is now

 

[sniper]

Not sure if it's been posted, but it looks like these are scheduled to release in February (2014). I would not mind waiting longer for a true release instead of this Vac Tech model...

I'm mad late, I know, but Vac-Tech material like all the Barkleys now? :x

F*%# U Gentry!!!
Pass on all this garbage!

So much for that.

Another butchered classic.

3 pairs.

 

[panaricanretro]

Lol. So many corners cut. I'm so much more selective with sneakers now. I can't stand when they cheap out and try to pass it off like its as good as the OG

 

[derkro]

More VacTech!?
