Hey everyone, new to the forum!

I cam across these Nikes the other day at the thrift. The made in Republic of Korea was too much for me to pass up so I got them even tho they were way too small.

I believe they're Nike Sky Force but can't find ones with the same stitching. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Im also looking to sell them long term so if anyone has a price that's fair that would help a bunch too.

Does the shoe have a size tag in it? If so, can you get a clear picture of it please?
 
Thanks for the replay Gordonson. There is no size tag. I believe there was probaly a size where that stamped number is but it wore out. Only other tag is the made in Republic of Korea
 
Those are called Nike Dynasty High (1984-85). I used to own the black/grey-wht pair a loooooong time ago. Nike did a small run of retros on these back about 10 years ago. Didn’t sell well of course.

These are the closest I've come to a match as well but if you look at the rear panel, the medial forefoot, and the heel of the shoe; they differ.

Plus the swoosh and rear of the shoe in the OP are way more like Jordan Is than the Dynasty His are.

Some pictures of OG Dynasty Highs for comparison:

I think this model might just one of those that unfortunately never got documented well on the internet. They're not any Sky Force model I've seen, and they not Dynasty Highs (unless they're a sample version or something); but they share design elements with both.

You'd be selling to a very small market so there's likey not much money to be made from these.

It’s a Dynasty. The retros aren’t an exact copy so that’s why they differ slightly.

The pictures I posted are of the original release; the things I said differed still differ between the shoes in the OP and the pair I posted.

OP's shoes have an entire heel panel that's missing on the Dynasty and the 'spine' on the Dynasty isn't on the pair in the OP.

Unless Korea just did their own thing with the pairs they made or that pair is a sample; those don't look fully look like any iteration of the Dynasty I can find on Google.
 
Could be a rolling year change or regional change. Some are made slightly different. I don’t see it marked as a sample (TYPSS) or PE.
