WHAT UP FAM!!!!
I picked up my 3rd pair of USA Bursts recently and have had a real tough time cleaning them up. I used water that was too hot, and
the blue ran onto the mesh and midsole. Not a huge deal since the midsole was gettin a re-paint anyway,
but the mesh is givin me a real tough time.
Still on the hunt for a DS pair. I'll post follow up pix when I finally do finish these up.
What they look like for now....
The Air Burst has long been my favorite sneaker, and I've been on
a mission to find out exactly what the first colorways were.
Thanks to the help of some
FAM I've come across 4 OG colorways so far. Thanks to all that have helped me out!!!!
The Air Burst isn't very well documented like the more popular 1, 90, etc, so the info isn't that easy to come by.
I remember vividly being blown away by the "BURST" when the OGs released as a kid, but
couldn't recall a specific year. From what I've gathered they were first produced and released in late 94-96.
Last week was a wonderful week, to say the least. I scored 2 of the 3 OG colorways I really wanted. One of which I never
thought I'd EVER find. They're both DS, with box, paper, arch supports and everything. Still can't really believe it.
First up is a Footlocker Exclusive from 1996:
And last, but damn sure not least.....
1995 OG Air Burst

2 down, 1 to go.....
I don't think I've been ever been as thrilled to land a pair of sneakers.
To land these two in the same week........I honestly don't have the words.
These take me back to when sneakers were beautiful, well-made, un-hyped, innovative, and available to anyone who wanted them.
