Air Max Plus II’s.
In 1999, I convinced my mom to buy me a pair of these for my birthday (you can probably still see the catalog shot @eastbay.archive ) - and she did.
When they arrived, I tried them on - didn’t like how they felt (and also thought she spent too much money on them) so I told her she could just return them instead. She did.
It was kind of a hassle for her - a few days later she said ‘I’m never going to order shoes for you again, so don’t ask.’ I didn’t.
Shoutout to ma, tho.

So this is kinda the thing…
Despite the fact that I’m over-the-hill and am considering TRT, I can play basketball. I’m not like crazy good or anything, but I can hold my own against most people that can play ball. I hurt myself probably 23% of the time, and I have to take extended breaks, but the fact that (playing) basketball has been a significant part of my life (30+ years), I can play ball.
And..I can run. Or jog. Or maybe it’s yog? I believe it’s called yogging. I spent several years yog

@jacquemus x @nike j-force 1
DS pairs still come straight from the factory with flaws…not major but certainly minor.
Anything stick out? I’m always a bit curious on the rubber soles and why - even unworn - they visually show inconsistencies. It’s not a major deal, but it does exist.

Always kinda wished we did the blue Levi’s card instead of the black Levi’s card, but I guess you live and you learn, right?

I created the card because I thought I’d never be able to own the shoe…the thought was ‘why would Nike ever retro such an obscure model?’
Sure enough, we got our retro. So far we’ve seen retros of t
