1996 Air More Uptempo Olympic...Pippens??? or Reggie???

[phillykickz]

Hello all. I came across these sneakers and I wanted to know if they are the olympic pippens? I was told by most that they are the pippens but a few peoplesaid Reggie Miller. I really dont think its Reggie...Info would be appreciated. I am having trouble posting a pic but they are the Blue/White Nikes that say"AIR" on each side of the shoe in huge letters. They also have the "8" on the rear. They came out in 1996.

Reggie wore the MUCH UPTEMPOS. (Air in heel)...Pip wore the MORE UPTEMPOS (full air sole...well, the production version did anyway...his were encapped with noair visible - it might have been zoom, cant remember).....

I would think that the stitched in "8" would end the discussion, haha.

Peace,

Anytime anyone mentions Pippen, I think of that dunk, especially his reaction afterwards.

Agreed. Why did Nike retro those black joints in leather though

 

[stresseddesserts]

i remember getting those oly pippens at ross for 20. i was mad back then cause it didn't come with a box.

Here's my pair, and my very much faded jersey to go with it:



Yeah, the jersey is just a Champion replica and not an authentic, but #1- I wasn't balling like that in '96, and #2- everyone wore those Championreplicas back then.

And I definitely wore mine.

A lot.

Still do.

A lot.

But the Pippen's are definitely falling apart, so I don't wear them near as much as I did 10 years ago, or even 5 years ago. In the 4th pic, you cansee white crumbs on the chair, and those crumbs are from my shoes.

I love the Olympic colorway of the Air More Uptempos.

Love 'em, love 'em, LOVE 'EM.

I had them back in the day - heel cushioning was really hard and the leather had this strange plasticy consistency to it.

I've never seen Skavnrioghn569hreirg986 post pics of his shoes before

 

[mrsneakerman]

Those are hot. Wish those had been retroed instead of some of the colors that were released.

 

[phillykickz]
