Nostalgia for sure with the Royals. I remember asking for them in 7th grade and almost lost my face due to the price tag. Back then I want to say with tax they came out to $200 flat which was a huge spike compared to other shoes at the time. Had the opportunity to get the AJ12s and Penny IIs and didn't really want either lol. Foams were a show stopper for me even way back then.
so true.
I kept a super beat size 12 for years. My older friend had them and was gonna toss them but I wanted them just to have them. They just sat in my closet for years until I got my 07 retros in my 9.5.
I even got scammed on ebay trying to buy a pair for a good price back then. When ebay used to let sellers take checks as payments
