shoe id request: nike with removable booty in the early 90's.

[eltouha]

i vaguely remember a black based shoe with a white swoosh, and the whole sockliner/booty was removable. any ideas?

 

[baby jumpman]

Gary Payton's?

 

[Sinner]

Yeah, Zoom GP III's?

 

[eltouha]

the ones i remember had a simpler booty and the outer shell had the laces on it. tbh, i thought they were runners. probably a predecessor to the paytons.


but looking up the paytons gave me a nice flashback to beating those black/tennis ball green air zoom gp's to death.

thanks for the help so far, fellows.

Air Baja was an outdoor basketball shoe with a removable booty.... from about 96-97

Payton, Pippen and Kidds all had models that had the "MORF" removable booty concept.


Zoom GP III

Pippen V

Zoom Kidd

But from your description about the laces on the "outside" i would think it's the Baja's.

I imagine that's what he is speaking about

Always preferred the pippen molds to the Payton and especially the Kidd one

I had I think most of the Pippen molds to those when you could buy them separately and one payton.

far out, thanks guys! i think it was the all black bajas.

tbh, i think i only saw them once, close to 20 years ago.
