[Sinner]

& i'd like to see this shirt re-released...had the original...
 

At this point, I wouldn't mind even seeing the James Blake replica...

Sorry for the poor lighting but here's some pictures of my pickup today. The leather on these feel the same from the Jordan IVs that retroed in 2012.

P.S. TTS or .5 down works, I chose the latter.

DAMNIT.  

If that's truly the case, these are an easy pass for me.  Damn shame.

all of a sudden these lavas have become hard to get 

So true I remember in 08 getting them from West on sale 

 

[nyc757]

Not from SNS. But for those hoping to get 1 pair, just a little flexing lol

Size 10 for me, the other for NTers

@goosh026 no harm homie i was just messin around. And yeah i noticed the sellers location when i made that comment lol

This is where the 1/24 release date came from.  This is a cropped email from Nike to my bro.

 

[dipsetgeneral]

so are these going to be in retailers like FNL or more like tier zero accounts? 

 

[sunshineblotters]

 @sunshineblotters
 did you receive your pair already?! Last update on my tracking was yesterday and my package was still in Australia

I wasnt there so they left a notice on the door. It's at the post office.

I put these laces in all my kicks. I think they look particularly good in the ATC Huarache...View media item 754860

One disappointing thing about this shoe is the price point for GS sizes. On most shoes anything below a 8 is a lower cost, I was a little confused as to why there was just one price.

I thought GS was 7 and below and they usually make a 7 mens and 7y.

Ha that replica was just awful. I still have no idea why Nike didn't just make it like the go when he wore it as a tribute. I have that black lava shirt brand new, one of my grails. I hope Nike starts bringing back all of his old gear.

 I know... who am I kidding?

 

[kb24strikesagain]

Nike has never been able to duplicate Andre's success with other tennis athletes. His gear will never be matched by any current pro.

They couldn't with Sampras, he wasn't very marketable and wore the same kicks for years upon years refusing to change.

All the current stars are foreigners, they won't push kicks.

And there has been a shift in tennis shoes. There have lil to no casual appeal now

 

[kb24strikesagain]

Also the current pros don't have the look at personality like Andre had. They had to create the ballistec line which incorporated some inspiration from Andre's old shoes.

^ Agassi certainly played his part in making what Nike is today.  He joined them in the late '80's and everything just blew-up in the 90's... for both of them.  

I might have posted this in here before, but here's the story on his reunion with Nike.

I posted that on page 1.

^ Oh, right on then... I must have posted it in the Tennis thread then...? I'm sure posted it somewhere on NT! 

 

[kb24strikesagain]

I've seen ya on the tennis-warehouse thread too

^ I don't post there that often though... not really a well-managed forum IMO.  Too many overlapping threads.  10,000 Fed/Rafa/Nole bashing threads... plus another 10,000 Fed/Rafa/Nole racquet-setup threads.   Their gear-section is good and informative though... with lots of contribution from members in the industry. 

 

[nyc757]

Lavas will be at NikeChi on Friday not sure the launch details.

I have been on TT for 5 years this spring, and I swear it just continues to get worse. I just stay out of the General Pro Discussion. I like the clothing discussion but with Nike's long standing prohibition of posting catalog images, it's a lot less interesting.

Where did you get those laces at? I have the GITD Force 180 Mids that I wouldnt mind using those on.
