I have a ton of pics of both the left and right shoe, my biggest issues are the inconsistent outsoles, Nike Swoosh print on the insole, and a dimple on the midsole of the left shoe. Not sure if this helps but the only stitching that doesn’t glow under black light is the stitching around the midsole.
Black Friday came and I had no money so I put zero effort into getting these. Then a buddy tells me they're still all over town in the stores. So tonight I walked into a Footlocker then walked out with a 10.5. Lovin' these as much as I did back in high school in '93! And they look good next to...
I'll post this pic again, my OGs from 1996. Wore them again today to find the soles are starting to separate, the glue dried out, I guess. Now I really need to get me a pair this weekend.

I'm also happy...
