Thanks to leadership here (@Nelson C @HellaSteph @Methodical Management) for y'all's (yes, I said y'all's) planning, creativity, and diligence in executing an event that will stick with me for a lifetime.
The event was about community, in every aspect of the word, "pre", during, and "post" the...
Missed out on a size L.
May just cop an XL to frame in the sneaker room or "man" room.
For all involved, your dedication and leadership on this collaboration is appreciated!
I know many will not agree with me but (OG rant here)...
I'd pay $225 "Nike Lab" MSRP to have the orange/blues and Raiders done as close to the OG as possible, with not
only OG materials, but the plastic on the side netting as well.
Hell, it was just 98-00 when Finish Line and Footlocker had...
As usual, don't hold your breath. Just saw them in person.
Same as the last crappy retros post '99-'00. I would hold out for Outlets/clearance racks. SMH.
I wish I never sold my '98s now. Those were as close to the OG as we will ever get.
No 3M on a Spiridon is like Corn Flakes without the milk! That may explain the lower MSRP.
Can anyone confirm the navy and teal joints not having 3M as well?
That's the deciding factor for me.
As a true STAN of this model and colorway, I would have much preferred a MSRP of $225 as a NikeLab edition done exact to the OG than what has released.
Given your take, they are a hair better than the '06s, which I couldn't stand as well.
Of course I bit -- 114 shipped a steal -- and I will...
Just scored on Olympics for under retail shipped.
My .02 -- patience is a virtue.
I will wait for these London joints to go down in the summer, while someone will be ready to unload to get funds up for another upcoming release.

That's Nike Basketball with most retros and trainers last 24-36 months.
Patience.
No need to pay retail.
They will be "restocked" and, if you live in urban area, marked down like hell 6 weeks and after the initial release.
