I'm down for a pair. I wonder how my '02 pair is holding up? Haven't worn em in years .

That grey contrast is due to age and the two different materials used which caused it to have that effect which was later replicated on that dmp 7They need add the grey contrast!

Vedder loved him some VIs. Still wears em recently too
Seems like every rock-and-roll white guy wore the black-infrared 6s back then.
I've seen tons of pics online.
And it probably will never happen again like this, because today's athletes have to deal with social media tearing them down, debate shows arguing if Player A is worse than Player B, and the general BS of the internet in general. Mike was liked by (nearly) everyone - because it was cool, and it was easy.Not just metal guys...The 6’s and 7’s were the New Balance 99x of their time...Everybody from just about every walk of life had a pair...Black / Infrared 6’s and Playoff 7’s in particular were the ones people were really after but all the colorways got love...
To me, Mike reached the height of his popularity right after the Bulls won that first championship...Really took off globally with the Olympics in ‘92, and really didn’t start to come back down to earth until the end of the decade...People literally wanted to “Be like Mike” during those championship years in particular...I say it all the time but it’s hard to verbalize just how popular the man was...
”Popular” doesn’t even begin to describe it actually, to the point that unless you were alive at the time, then there’s no modern comparison to relate it to...
