Isn’t it #wuwednesday or something? #warriorswednesday ? Messing around on @ebay looking for some vintage HTM Terra Humaras in my size and came across these @nike#htm wallabee monstrosities... With that laser cut heel and Wally's being the go-to for the @wutangclan in the late 90s/early 2000s - is it possible this pair was inspires by the @wutangclan ? ⁣⁣

⁣⁣

I mean, for real? Look at that HTM logo - very tribal...just like the Wu medallion.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

Actual model name is the Nike Macropus. Yes, the Nike Macropus. Uh huh, the Nike MACROPUS. WTF is a Macropus? ⁣⁣

⁣⁣

Apparently it's the scientific classification for kangaroos and wallabys and other marsupials. So I suppose the name kinda makes sense (wallaby ~ wallabee).⁣⁣

⁣⁣

Although this particular pair is listed at $700, and another pair on @grailed at $800, theres a few cheaper but uglier pairs on eBay if anyone is interested. ⁣⁣

⁣⁣

What do you think? Wu inspired? Yo @rza@therealgza@oldirtybastardlegacy@ins_tagrams@raekwon@ugod_zilla@realghostfacekillah and the @methodmanofficial (honorary members @redmangilla and @officialcappadonna ) - should y'all get some royalties from these?
