Hard to say since we've never really had a good look at the blocking details of his PE's... I basically took the royal/volt c/w and swapped it with red/silver (except for the lace-loops, which I just noticed 

).  I suppose those should be red too.

it's what we grew up on and made us fall in love with the shoe in the 1st place. it's nostalgia, a pretty simple concept. being reunited with something from ur childhood that u loved so much as a kid. honestly, that is the only reason i still buy sneakers at all. if it wasn't for the fond memories i have of certain shoes back in the day, i'da been done with this foolishness that is the sneaker game.

Now Thats What I Wanna See...

The Lighter Shade Of Red Makes Them Look Good. Black Pull Tabs Would Be The Icing On The Cake.

so basically these are da all star game ones with a turf/cross training bottom from da reds playing days huh....nice.

Colorway is nice & all......But gimme the 24 on the strap. I'm not feeling that swingman @#$%.

Now see, this is why I always listen to what you have to say and value your opinion.

  I've been saying this all along, the stark contrast of the swoosh off the uppers etc. is what made this shoe so eye-catching and fever-inducing back in the day. They're totally not highlighting (and yes even hiding) the best design features of the shoe with the "solid" colorways. That being said, a trainer version of those all-stars would be insane.  That is all.

It's no knock on the shoe.  Just that '24' is ridiculous on a Reds shoe.  Swingman is there because we feel we are willing a change to a proper Reds jersey number like '30' or '3'.

Personally, if this pans out like justhotkicks describes and P PS'd I'm getting them in a heartbeat.  My first step is to un-stitch the ankle tab if it is indeed '24' and get creative.
