I feel like that's the only pair EVERYONE is going to go crazy for and would be a hassle to get, I hope I'm wrong but I don't think I will be. I'll definitely try to get myself a pair, maybe even two if I'm lucky since Ewing's aren't like Jordan's and aren't guaranteed to retro again. Those and the white Rogue's would be awesome to have and wear.
Yeah, I'd definitely cop a pair to rock and another to rock in 10 years before the sole started to crack ^^
Definitely TTS or half sz up as mentioned, materials are amazing honestly, only thing is they aren't somewhat heavy lol they ARE heavy but I don't think you'll be using these to ball in unless you wanna get a leg workout but Ewing is really doing his thing with these retro's, I'm anxiously waiting for them to release another model in an OG color way.
i agree love ewings great quality and that price is almost impossible to find at this day and age
Usually when Ewing releases a sneaker it's all over sneaker sites and in the description they tell you whether it is OG or not. Plus a simple google search would suffice I would think or even ask in here, I agree that it's not a good look but I never contact brands about anything really, I don't even have social media so I couldn't even if I wanted too.
If you don't know what colors are OG what's the fuss? I mean if you see a shoe and you like it why not just buy it regardless? Crazy to think you like a shoe and look up if it's OG and that determines if you buy them or not, all the colors will eventually be OG one day, just enjoy the design of the shoe.
I don't base my decision off of whether or not the color way is OG, I said I prefer OG color ways, I only have one pair of shoes that aren't an OG color way and that's the recent Laney 5s, I just don't like crazy color ways and the majority of color ways back then were simple.
That makes no sense, if you like plain then choose a color you like. Whether it's a retro or not doesn't determine them being simple, there were some OG's that were flamboyantly colorful.
Very few shoes were "flamboyant" compared to today. You name me some Aunt Pearls, Galaxy themed shoes, or the recent Gumbo ASG's, ASG shoes in general are the definition of flamboyant. Colors back then were not that crazy at all, they matched team gear and that was it for the most part.
The guards were OG though, but I get what you're saying.
Yeah I know, that's what I'm saying, I agree that back then they definitely had their little share of flamboyant sneakers, but definitely not like how we do now, it seems like the crazier the color the "hotter" a shoe is, not to me, I like simple shoes lol i.e. Ewing Guard Black/White.
That color way came from a different Ewing, the color way in general is OG, they were on the Sport Lites, them on the Guards however are not OG, we were just talking about "crazy flamboyant" color ways and how color blocking on kicks back then was a lot more simple than today.
Wow, didn't know that. That's pretty weird. Maybe they're pulling a Jordan move lol trolling us at first and give us the actual models later?
Ok yea. I know about the color on the other shoe.
Another problem I have is that NEXT sports took over in the early 90's, but Ewing Athletics is not going to follow their model. They are going to release shoes of what a PHOENIX version would have looked like, if PHOENIX were to have made the shoes back then. This is one of the only useful things Ewing Athletics ever e-mailed me about. I really liked the purple suede guard, but instead of making the Next version, they made a "what a phoenix version would have looked like." The tongue is embroidered differently, the 33 is white instead of black, the sole is only partially black instead of all the way black, the top of the shoe is black, and not purple, etc..
I guess we just sit back and wait for an updateI e-mailed EwingAthletics back in October about the 33 Center Hi's and the Rogue's and they said "stay tuned" with a winking smiley
