Nike Air CB 34 Retro- Phoenix Suns

http://www.sneakerfiles.com/2009/12/16/nike-air-cb-34-retro-phoenix-suns/

One of Sir Charles's greatest signature shoes with Nike is making a comeback, paying homage to Charles Barkley's time at the Phoenix Suns. The Nike Air CB 34 Retro comes in ablack/orange-purple colorway, using black leather and nubuck on the upper, along with white perforated leather panels. The orange/purple sole makes this shoestand out properly for any Phoenix fan. The insole also features a printed desert landscape using the ideal colors to finish off this classic basketball shoe.Let's hope these babies come out soon, because there's only one pair available for now.

I was always in the minority when it came to these...everyone disliked...I for one loved/love em

....its funny how these were gone in a blink of an eyefrom HoH

...I hope they do some sort of re-release for these unless if someone has a ds 11.5 or 12 lying around...

 

[swingshot]

I can't see Nike viewing a GR of this as cost effective unless

1) They made large quantities of this when it was made for HOH
2) They have more colorways of the shoe planned.

The White/Carrot colorway tanked, and the black/red colorway was, frankly, putrid.

Missed the Black/Purple in 07. Another run would be nice, but probably too soon.

The story goes that he was aiming at someone who was making racist comments at him, and he says he "Didn't get enough foam".
He supposedly made amends by giving the girl's family season tickets.

Conveniently people forget that part of the story...either that or they're just ignorant on the full facts of the story.

But anyways, I do NOT like this colorway at all. The white & carrot CB34's are nice to me..I don't own them, but since nobody seems to like them, Idoubt I'll have any major trouble finding a pair when I'm ready to start looking.

But these....nahhh...

 

[swingshot]

Was the black/purple the only colorway of the CB34 released back in the day?

And did Barkley wear any other (unreleased) colorways of the shoe?

I think those were just rumors, there was a blog setup about his mistress but I think it was based off false accusation, he did file for divorce thoughso.

These are soooo fresh, even though they look like some Land b4 Time creations

.....I might look to cop, are they doing a GR?? or are these LE's??

 

[sloane kettering]

If they release exactly like that, then I don't mind waiting a yr...
