Won't pay retail for them though--see you at the outlets.  

Swag postage right there. LOL!

Good times man.

Btw, how much were these back in 95? I just remember momma gettin' laid off so it was no new kicks until the
following school year.

Humbolt beginnings, famb.

Damb.

GREAT times.  Wish I could take it back to the summer of '95, sans the being a broke senior in h.s. (grandpa by NT standards).  All I did was hoop, smash, work a little, hoop some more and kick it with the homies.  

Not sure on the price.  These were one of the two pairs of basketball kicks moms would buy me each year--a pair for summer hoops and the new J's when they used to drop in November.  The rest were on me with whatever loot I could scrape up.

 Famous Footwear used to carry what we would consider some heat today man.
I remember wearing these and kids would talk down me back than, like "Amer - your shoe still doesnt have a air bubble" and than they would all point and laugh.

Apparently, air bubbles were a big deal in the 90's..

..........finally got my air bubble Penny 1's the next year

 I'll never forget..

This was the same for me had the white and blue joints. But people thought i was weird cuz they weren't a pair of jay's

 

[703flipfiend]

I never was attracted to these until those Sole Collector pics. WHOA. Need these. Penny was my favorite player back then. Can't get over how great these look. I'm kinda glad this thread isn't huge. Hopefully they'll be easy to get.

 

[kingjay718]

Hopefully they come out early 2012 rather than later.

 

[jonas c8891]

Home and Black pairs will be had.  Trying to go 3 pairs each color. 

The unofficial air Jordan !!!

 

[blacklion23]

I can't believe what I'm seeing! Nike is going all out next year. These bring back so many memories. Hope they release the black/grey pair. I might be done after 2012. All I need to hear now is that the Air Missions are dropping next year..........

Would rather take these Garnett 1's over the Flight One

 

[dmoney23444]

da LWPs had zoom air, so i expect these to be equipped da same.

 

[bulls90s]

Those pics man. Wowzers.....

 

[streetballa2311]

yess i was just asking about these last week!!! finally!! 

 

[ptone]

These were hand-me-downs back when I was around 10 and wore em into the ground.  Now, as an adult I am a proud owner anticipating a more "reliable" pair.

 

[KanyIZZY]

THESE WERE DONE VERY NICELY... STILL NOT SURE IF ILL COP THOUGH

 

[diddydadagger]

Thank you for the "1" on the heel tab!!! These were looking real good in a Mark Dolce interview regarding the Zoom Rookie LWP.
