Cindarella Shoes is the place I've always heard of and another that slips my mind, they basically got their rep to have nike make pairs and it just blew up organically.

bip roberts Good looks on the vid! I was one of those cats making that trip back and forth to Bmore in 87-90, coppin AF1s. My homey went to Morgan State and I'll never forget that call when he said "you're not gonna belee this" LOL
Are those the "bumblebees" you're talking about? The jewels? Or the black mids with the yellow contrast stitching?Got everything I want but just never can find those damn BUMBLEBEES![]()
They sold out in a week back on Rd even back then..

Na I want both..the solid black mid with the yellow contract stitching..
As well as the jewels..I want both
Don't see with all the great cw's why they dont bring them back..I guess nike sells enough of signature shoes and likes to keep the interest on those..
Thing is theres alot of older heads that got no interest in kd's n such that would buy the classics..haven't even seen an all blk w gum bottom in a long time..too long

They did a low last year, plasticky leather though.
The love for the jewel is kind of revisionist history. As much as we can talk about "classic" CWs, the jewel swoosh was very poorly received upon launch.
And, frankly, when they tried to bring them back last year or two years ago or whatever, they flopped mega hard. So, I can't blame them either.
Sometimes I think I'm crazy. Because this is exactly how I remember it. Never owned a pair of jewels so when I see the thirst for them now, I'm baffled.

I know that's all easy for me to say, as I probably have more jewels than anybody. But, just my opinion.

i love the jewel swoosh whether lows or mids...just something about em makes my heart flutter lol. i mean the regular swoosh is fine n all...but to me...when you see that translucent jewel swoosh backed by a simple colorway with quality leather...The love for the jewel is kind of revisionist history.

Also, I'm of the mind set that if you aren't going to do the classics justice, then just leave them alone. So, I'm perfectly happy for Nike to stay hands off - especially since the old pairs are wearable anyway.
