Those white and navy anniversary highs have good leather, the downfall didn't seem to come until years later

 

[ogfiend]

^ Just one or two years later though. And for a 20th anniversary release, the leather wasn't all that eithe

Kazi/DK/PE AF1 Heads:

What does the "33" stitched on the inner portion of the tongue on the LeBron SNL's represent/mean? Thanks.

PO

^ Here's my guess...

Taken from Wikipedia:

"James, with comedian Jimmy Kimmel, co-hosted the 2007 ESPY Awards.James himself was nominated for three ESPYs: Best Male Athlete, BestNBA Player (winner), and Best Record Breaking Performance. Theperformance for which he was nominated was when he scored 48 points inGame 5 of the 2007 NBA Eastern Conference Finals against the DetroitPistons, including 29 of the last 30 points and all of the team's 25points in overtime.[sup][28][/sup] In other comedic pursuits, James hosted the 33rd season premiere of Saturday Night Live. The show's creator Lorne Michaels praised him for his versatility."

All I can say is that I'm happy to have a stock of older air force 1s and no matter how much I feel like I've grown bored with collecting, I'll probably never stop buying older releases because I know that down the line it's only be harder and harder for me to find sneakers I'd actually wear.

What's irksome is that 'Premium' AF1s are now similar in quality to the 'Basic' crap. Does having Futura's name on the shoe justify the $40 price increase?

G to tha: very nice! Has the black rubber gotten ashy?

Yea those were snl's in my avy awhile back. All the time I had them I never knew there was a 33 on the inside of the tounge.

I'm guessing Tyler is right. If that's not it I have no idea why.

 

[stuntman mike]

i like that lebron logo lasering though.

 

[flaboidolph]

anybody know where I can find a pair of AF1 Olympic 180's? been on the hunt for those lately.......how u guys feel about em? I mean I've never even seen anyone down here in So. FLA wear'n em not even posted in this thread for that matter...............

[eebs7eez]

wow. that leather NEEDS to be on those 3m low's

 

[36 ounces]

Can anyone point me in the right direction to these....

 

[air max 87]

lebron was prob the 33rd different person to host....

you gotta remember alot of times the that same comedians hosted multiple times.... 

 

[denverairforce]

don't think so, the show's been on the air for 35 years, I'm positive more than 33 people have hosted. I think it was like spacej said - the 33rd season premiere.
