Purple High Air Force One Question????

[packersgotme]

I forget the name if they are known as anything but know there was suppose to be some sort of limited release on these?? Can anyone confirm or tell me whathappen?

 

[the sole full 1]

If i remembered correctly there was a vote to retro these in ONLY NYC.

B-More was the sakuras and phili was the laser mark smiths.

 

[derrtay]

aww what....what about LA =/

 

[viewtiful mik3]

you are exactly right

they were supposed to be the "Purple Grimaces" air force one highs

but then your boy Ronald and his cronies heard about what nike was doing

so they forced them to scrap it

 

[acekilla408]

those are pretty sick

 

[johngotty]

I had those in a size 12 many many moons ago. I hope I could get them in a 13 before I die lol.

 

[prolific sole]

I'm really hoping these are not impossible to obtain when they drop, especially being that I don't live anywhere near NYC.

Nah, but if I'm not mistaken, these are still slated to release in NYC during the Summer thanks to the Nike One Vote contest thingy. These arepretty nice. Too bad I don't live in NY.

If you are talking about copping them from resellers, I think you have a very little to no chance as these will be very limited, and I'm pretty surethose who are buying will really only be buying them for themselves. Not to mention that they might be limited to only one pair per person.

 

[johngotty]

Which accounts will get them?

[8tothe24]

I foresee people getting jacked and stabbed for these on release day.

 

[mattdaincredible]

still no rd?

 

[phinsfan13]

Anyone???

 

[holler mcdollar]

a year ago these could be found on the bay for <$100

times have changed.

 

[nikembejetta]

Dude, a year ago I found a pair for like $60 shipped (and I'm pissed that I missed the auction by 2 minutes) that would have easily sold today for almost$200 bucks.

 

[thapeopleschamp]

purple grimaces? barneys? you guys are gettin nuts with this nickname thing....
theyre' purple air force 1 hi's from 1993... the end.

 

[true 3 blue]

So nobody knows the latest? Just here to argue about a nick name? Give me a break, its really not that serious.

 

[gotem4cheap]

they were originally released in 93

they are being retroed due to the vote thing in NYC only.

they will be released as a hyper strike release, and best believe they're gunna be SUPER hard to obtain.
