Thoughts/Opinions/Reviews of the Pippen I Retro

[kingjay718]

I suggest anyone who still needs a pair, to check Ebay. They're sellin' way below MSRP.

Time flies. It's been a year since these were released. Though they sold really well, you can still get a pair if you take the iniative. That's how areleases should be done.

 

[jonnydpgc]

Agreed on the white pairs needing to retro.

 

[solezprogression]

I tried them on but never copped in any colorway b/c they were too bulky.

I remember these dropped the year after i really started this shoe game stuff and i was soooo into J's. And i couldnt believe the pippens were hittin formore bread$ than any J ever did. Like I said I was all about the J's but my homeboy showed up with these on and i was like damn

classic shoe Fo-show.

At one point, people around my way were wearing Pippen I more than Jordan XII. This was Spring/Summer 1997. Good times. One time, I was at gym class in school,and a team of 5 had the Jordan XII, Jumpman Pro, and Air Pippen.

What do yall think of the black/white/purple colorway? I found a few pairs at Gaberial Brothers down here in Charleston. The sizes were 9.5-11

 

[kingjay718]

I think the blk/wht/purple colorway is pretty decent. Looks good with shorts. You're in Charleston, SC? Tanger Outlet?

[andfattoo]

wow.... these are too heavy?

 

[pennyfan757]

yes they are heavy. i went to work in them and my feet killed me

 

[kingjay718]

Uh oh, if they're heavy, and have a Air Max base, andftattoo will cop.

.

They're slightly heavy, yet dumb comfy. I'd suggest anyone who's gonna cop, to cop a size down. The weight is expected, if you have a shoe,that's from the same family tree as the Air Max Uptempo, Total Max Uptempo, Duke Uptempos etc...

 

[ck1301]

i was a freshman in hs when this shoe dropped. i wanted to get the white ones cause a dude i worked with broke my neck everyday with them. i use to sackgroceries and was only making 5.15 an hour minimum wage so 160.00 was way too high. but back in those days my pops was only buying one shoe all year long forme. and 9 times out of 10 my pops said you gettin new shoes when the bball team gets theirs. anyone thats had to wear a team shoe knows you never get heat forthe team shoe. but nike needs to retro these idk how the hell that brown saw the light of day, they owe scottie an apology for that mess.

........They feel light to me, but again i ball/liftweights in Lebron IVs.

 

[nosleep4jordans]

i got every color (eventually). saddened by the shrunken air bubble and the brown color way but still copped cheap for a beater (the look better all scraped upand dirty of course the white color way is missed but y not more? there could be some hall of fames type color ways you could do with this shoe. I do havethe original white and the other c/w retros and sign " PIP" on the back is not as clearly stiched on the back as the retro to is the stitching on theold retro looks cheaper in my opinion not clearly stitched so 1 point for the retro to me. but it cant be the same it was so long long ago fabrics have changedthe world has changed THE 90'S WERE THE SH*T! there should have been a white air bubble on the all the blacks, a purple ring around the nike sign on thevarsity purples IMO. But i LOVED that nike retro these shoes. Dathbgboy, what grant hills you talking about? i have the all the black with the blue line allthe way around in 8.5 us DS.

 

[ao17]

I like em especially the black and purple colorway because they remind me of Kobe's Crazy 8.

 

[aschwartz44]

I bought the black and red when they first dropped for retail minus 30%. I went today to check out Emp App. and found my FTA had one pair of my size 7.5 leftfor 59.99. I only wore my first pair 2-3x but for $30 why not.

 

[egaroc1]

9.5/10


great quality
-.5 for the smallair bag

 

[kingjay718]

They're 3 Nike logos on each shoe. 3 and 3. The man's jersey number. On the sole, on the toe area, they're 5 holes on each shoe. They represent the10 NBA seasons he played at that time.

 

[dnigo]

would only cop if on sale. big sale lol

 

[dipsetgeneral]

i STILL need these.. one of the BEST sneakers ever made..

Anyone seeling a size 11?! or 11 1/2?!?!?

PM me ASAP

 

[sylvestermcgrizzly]
