Pretty sure this is a shot taken by @melnniki ... I had this pair (diff colorway) growing up and they lasted FOREVER. Pretty sure it's air alate. Reminds me of the air Max 96 II. #thesneakersavantrecommends : To rock: unless worn regularly (and gently) since 1996, the sole will most likely fall apart. To stock: make sure they're not crumbling already. And hope for a pair with minimal yellowing.
