This shoe is gorgeous IMO...But i have no idea what it is...lol...It obviously was manufactured well before my existence...So any of you old heads(lol) wannadrop some knowledge on these to a young whipper snapper like my self feel free....or you can just leave a useless comment not helping anyone or saying anythingimportant...As the usual NTers enjoy.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it is a Nike Sky High that was embroidered with the Jumpman to test out the stitching on the Jumpman....

Edit - This pair of Nike "Sky Highs" was made back in the early 1980s. What its purpose was to check how the Jumpman logo holds up on a pair ofshoes.

I actually like the sky high's. Weren't the Jordan "phlys" modled after them? just without the canvas?

 

[jonny1200]

Sick stuff as always Joerdan23.

Yup, sky highs very rare and vintage. There around the time of the VIIs right?

I wish I didn't pass on them earlier this year, went for like $400 too I think.
