So I was able to grab the burnt orange Texas PEs last week off of Nike.com of all places. I decided to hold off on posting till now, since in the online photos they didn't have the Longhorn logo. They only had sizes 10.5 and 12.5, and even though I usually wear an 11 my true size is actually 10.5 and I was able to grab them in that size. All sizes are now sold out and the link I have says the product is no longer available.
Like I figured when images of these first surfaced, they are actually just team bank shoes with the Longhorn logo on the tongue. The other thing I thought was interesting was that they have the same insoles as the Red River Rivalry Free Trainer 5.0s from a few years ago. These are crazy in person, and I'm really glad to have them in my Texas collection!
This whole release, if you can even call it that, was really weird, but maybe we'll see a wider release of these at outlets in the coming months. I left the style code if anyone wants to try and stock locate a pair.
