***OFFICIAL FILA THREAD***

[phil32]

I was hoping that Eastbay scan would have a pic of these Filas I had from the early '90s. No idea on their name now. Mid-cut, all black nubuck, FILA logo on the tip of the toe, but not a "bouncy" looking one, just straight. No strap. Got them in 1992 from memory. Have hunted around for them, but no sign online thus far.

The search will continue!

 My best friend got a pair and taunted me. Then got the Jordan XI and did the same. Glad I slept with his sister in highschool. Lol. I kid. I kid.

Not the runball mids?

Not the runball mids?

If only! No, not them. The placement of the FILA on the toe is right, but the style of it was like the one on the tongue of the Runballs.

They were probably more of a casual shoe rather than a basketball shoe. No real technology involved. Very simple.

But thanks for the cool Runball pics. They were a nice shoe. I loved the big tongue on shoes back then.

Hersey may have worn the bubbles at some point, but i will always and forever only be able to associate him with the Muscle Ball. Greatest shoes I never got my hands on. My best friend got a pair and taunted me. Then got the Jordan XI and did the same. Glad I slept with his sister in highschool. Lol. I kid. I kid.




Just trying to bring a little levity to alleviate the tension I'm seeing

Aaaaahhhh. Thats probably the shoe I confused, it with...right on right on.

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

That other shoe tho 

     come at me

 

[phil32]

Update on my Fila search. Looking through old photos found a scan of this one from '93. Shoes are super hard to make out, even though I was apparently 20 years ahead of the game with joggers! (And pretending to be Tupac while very white and very Australian).

Maybe someone can identify from this, but I won't hold my breath!

 

[ogldesigns]

Hello peple , I'm the new guy, here is a good one for you, since you guys are kicks connoisseurs... identify this rare filas...

 

[thorrocksjs]

I really regret not getting the fx 100 last year that joint is sweet

 

[Hahahaha]

How's the sizing on the Stack 2s? I usually wear an 11.5 in sneakers. I know some Filas run small so wondering if I'm good with the 11.5 or do I need to go up?

 

[theshoewizard]

just waiting on that shredder restock still

Go with your normal size.

 

[skep]

I have all 3 colorways, stay tts

 

[Hahahaha]

Thanks fellas. I'm gonna wait for UBIQ to have a memorial day sale and then I'm buying the white Stack 2s in an 11.5

 

[skep]

Not really a fan of him but I thought this was cool

 

[Hahahaha]

 

[Hahahaha]

Ubiq is having 50% off a few of their Fillas. Some Adidas and RBK as well. Finally ordered my Stacks, hope the 11.5 fits.

 

[phil32]

I am very interested in these:

Hat tip to SC for the pics. They release on Friday (5 June).

 

[trentbg]

That Mindbender is great.

 

[phil32]

That Mindbender is great.

Agreed. I like them more than the Overpass, and I like the Overpass quite a bit! Need to work out how I'm going to get these in Australia without paying a stupid amount of shipping.

 

[TURBO UNO]

Those are REALLY NICE. I wonder how what this model will do for Fila's image. They look modern enough to pull in younger folk.

 

[phil32]

And I'm happy to be able to relive some of my Fila history, since these aren't super wearable any more:

 

[trentbg]

Wow, I cant even believe that most sizes of the new Mindbender colorway are gone on FILA.com, including my size, oh well...

 

[skep]

My guess is they just made these in full sizes, which is why you see all the half sizes gone and all full sizes available

 

[trentbg]

Ha really, what the heel, so people with half sizes can go suck it, that makes no sense.
