I remember back in 2000 when the Laneys first dropped, stores couldn't give those away. Most places wound up slashing the prices close to $59.99, including Eastbay. It's funny how time changes people's opinions though. Many consider the Laney's grail status now. LOL.

Amazing how hype changes everything. I was in 7th grade when these originally dropped and you're right, stores couldn't give them away. They sat on display yellowing for months and in some stores over a year. I wasn't a fan of them back then and hype won't make me a fan now.

Wouldnt' be surprised, they added the 23 to the fusion grape v's, and with they way they have release retro 9's after the fusion colorways I can see JB laughing straight to the bank on this one.

Would be nice if they drop some other 5's before hand like the 6's.

Will cop if this is true.
