DOPEMANS are the ultimate forgotten friend that we've all owned at least one pair of...their retro is what....ten years at least going strong? the shoe isolder than any nike you can walk into footlocker or niketown and cop, and it always does the job in a pinch. A white/blue pair was one of my first'favorite' pairs ever. These pictures from the 'abandoned warehouse' thread made me want to see more...ESPECIALLY ya rare stuff, OGs, Jewels, euro and co.jp stuff, nylons,etc;
i dont think they were ever really retroed like how shoes are today...i had a bunch of pairs of these growing up in the 90s, much longer than 10 yearsago...i think that they have just always been coming out since they first launched and this post would be amazing if george costanza was a NT'er....
yeah really i had a pair myself at least 15 years ago, 10 was a major understatement. They're like the constant retro lol a staple in nike's line
I would bet a lot of money against the thought that they are 1 of 1's. I mean they arent even sample sizes. There is at least a 9 out theresomewhere. You should also consider that the artist that made them kept a pair. Rare? Sure. 1of1? Doubt it. Horrible? Indeed.
lol @ 1 of 1. those tom luedecke laser cortez dropped the same time as the lundy dunks and the maze forces. although there were less made of the cortez, asopposed to the 1050 made each of the forces and dunks, they still took longer to sell out.
i never liked cortez but both red/white ones look pretty nice. ive noticed cats that rocked them also happened to be into breakdancing.
'swhy i got them back in the day, get a clean pair of dopemans for like $20 and still be lookin fresh. and yeah that red/white pair is one of the besti've ever seen.
cant go wrong with nylon though.....I will be getting a pair of black and navy ones......come on Kevin I have a pair of Mexico Cortez for you at Sport Seasons...you know you want them.
the name pays homage but I dont even own a pair anymore, if anybody see black/red or black/gold with the jewel swoosh let me know
