I seriously have bought possibly 3 pairs of sneakers since I started college, so we can safely say that is approximately 3 pairs (running) in 8 years. I have only had new balance (2) and some brand now that I can't even remember (that is how much I use them).
When I was a kid, I was crazy into basketball, and I had pretty much all of the popular basketball shoes from 89-96. The ones I remember were the Jordan's from 1991. Can I still get these somewhere? They were badass, and I remember they were red, black, and grey. Also, I had the first pumps that came out however many years ago. I guess what I am asking is, do they do repros on these older kicks today, or would my only option be some rare deadstock?

when i get a moment i'll try to put up a little history on those Woven's (promise i'll insert before the year is out). i do agree they aren't for everyone, that makes them more appealing or maybe that should be appalling. how many big companies do a shoe like this with roots in Native American heritage & such? it may seem like many now, but when these debuted that number was like zip, zero.

brand: ALEXANDRE - savile row
saw these in a local store and had to cop'em.
tag´s saying:

Alexandre of England 1988 Ltd.
Leedsi think they are well crafted, quality leather, goodyear welted, commando sole…just what i need!
maybe i´ll change the laces to something better looking...
-
they look to be a top quality shoe. i don't think i would wear them, just something about plain toe shoes. . . but they do look very versatile & the sole allows you to wear them when ever/were ever
-
well i was thinking bout resoling my red wings with a commando sole back then, but since i´ve found these today, i don´t have to resole the red wings
and besides that i think i have found a nice pair of shoes (besides the boots) which i can rock "when ever/where ever"…so yeah...pretty happyfitpics will show their true beauty (i hope)
-
then a good purchase & your flicks probably make the shoes look better. top notch photos always, shoes will get interesting depending on how the leather is dyed that blue. almost like a pair of new raws.
*see me not "liking" them isn't a bad thing. it just means i wouldn't wear them. guess that's why the guy that doesn't like chuck taylor's never said anything about it
-
Calling me out, huh, Monday?:) Just saw them, so my lack of comment was unintentional. I rather like them, like you say, they look well made and versatile. I think they'd be cooler with a nice cap toe, but that's just me.

i was trying to recall you name but couldn't
you had a valid point (in ref to the chucks) when you stated it was just your opinion really & nothing to add to the conversation. i do respect that, but had to give finn feedback as you know that's why he posted the pictures.
-
Finn, those are cool. We're did you get them?
-
Cool, I'll have to go and check out the local one, see if any made it our way.
