im probably the only one outside of you that have them on my heaven list lol. Easily my favorite one to wear period.I forgot to put these on my top 5 to Heaven list. I don't think I've ever seen these in the wild outside of when I rock them. Between the color (which pops like crazy) and the quality, these are so perfect, and one of the most overlooked pairs IMO.
I got mine from some snkr event they had in santa monica back in 2016. They were craaaaaaazy slept on then lol i wish i would have doubled up on those back then! To me, Still the best quality 1 made.I knew the UNC pair was slept on when I was able to get a DS pair for $160 last year
love this colorway, just hate the mid and the materials. Hopefully they release these in og materials one day
Broke these out, haven’t worn them much since i customized them last summer
I remember i accidently skipped on the frags. when i use to work in LBC, this spot called proper got them and was mad limited of course, but my friend had a plug and had my size for me. Because i wasn't into 1's like that back then and the only ones i had were the boston garden floor celtic ones that dropped ( i forgot the colorway but i think they dropped in 2014 or 2013) and the quality sucked to me, i didn't want em. Biggest L in all of my Collecting lol
And I forget about them sometimes because I NEVER see them. The Black/Whites are off of my list in favor of these.
Which is crazy that people are even letting them go like that. On top of the quality and color, though I know they're not exactly the colors of UNC, they're an homage to MJ's college, which I've thought would make them even more of a hot commodity.I knew the UNC pair was slept on when I was able to get a DS pair for $160 last year
It is the pair from 09' and since it is a retro made from the 85' pair I did customize them with a Nike Air tounge tag. I actually went in and cut the strap loop off in the back. In doing so I had sew the sock liner back to colar. Then I cut the tounge down in height about a 1/4 of a inch to get the tag on perfect and then sewed the purple trim back on. I also had did that step on my metallic purples in my avi. I had did the swap to all my 08-09 OG's, bllk/wht, Metallics, bred, shadow and these but got rid all of them except this laker pair. I wish I would have keep the green and purple metallics being that JB's taking the're sweet time to retro them. But lastly I cut the tounge down from the middle stitch to line it up straight and have height right at the color instead of way over and to the side like those tounges do. And I only did this because I will be wearing them with shorts..., and my OCD lol!!I'm guessing he did a tongue tag swap, because everything else looks the same. Didn't notice until you mentioned it though.
If they're customs from scratch, I'd love to see more pictures too.
They're definitely not the famed '85 pair from that picture though
What’s even crazier is I paid $160 not from a person but from a sneaker shop that was sitting on them for $200.
Wow. Yeah, I'll never understand why they are soooo slept on. Especially when you consider their connection, and being the first Jordan to have some type of reference, to MJ's college.
I feel like all white unc colors don’t get the love they deserve.
oh trust me I know. im the typical short Filipino dude with fat legs, to make matters worse lol. so yeah. I don't mess with any high tops with shorts lol. on that note, I agree though. if you're comfort level is there, then rock it the way you want it.
lonzo needs to stop playin and should just sign with JB.
