    Those Rip's are sweet, but just to colorful for ME to wear. I wear the darker colored ones.

    Anyone know if those Wizards IIIs were ever released to the public? I would kill for those to get a retro. The True Blue IIIs are probably my 2nd favorite sneaker behind the Grape Vs and I think I like the gold accents even better than the red. 
    No they never did.  I like that gold jumpman too.

    Perhaps we will see some releases of some Wizards sneakers now that it’s approaching the 20th anniversary of his years with them?

    Do most sneaker collectors wear theirs, or just keep them new?

    Depends on the shoe, and resale value.

    I decided a bit ago that I am going to wear them.  Most of the time they do retro's anyways.

    Most of the things I've sold I did at peak time so I made out.

    Eastbay had these on clearance in my size so I picked them up. Pretty happy with them. A pair I can wear all the time and not feel guilty about.

    Got these today and love them. By far the best variation they’ve done on the Grape and will more than hold me over until the next OG retro.

    Lawdy that is a lot o grape!  Bold kicks that will look great in jeans too.

    Is there 3m on the tongue?  It looks like a flash was used so I am curious.

    Yep! That’s with the lights off and the flash on.

    How cool is it that Tinker added that 3m to the shoe so when the flash bulbs went off the sneaker would pop.

    If you never went into Hatfields resume you should.  I think he made Nike what they are.

    Oh yeah! I love the story of how Jordan was ready to walk away from Nike but then they unveiled Tinker’s design for the III to him and he did a complete 180.

    Both so iconic. I can’t remember if that was the OG design with the swoosh he was shown or not. Even with the swoosh it was so much better than the II.

    And I actually don’t mind the II.

    I remember Tinker saying it was the Jumpman logo that did it.

    All for people to bitch 30 years later for putting that very logo on the back of the shoes instead of “Nike Air” 😂
