Why doesn't Nike just make a run of old school shoes? I'd totally rock a pair of original Jordan's today... but not if they cost more than about $80.

Yeah, in 1990 it was a mix of ProWings and the occasional Big5 2-for-1 sale that netted me some blue or red Air Jordans or Air Court Force in faux white and gray snakeskin with turquoise.....you heard right ladies, white and gray snakeskin with turquoise. Please form a single file line, and I'll be with each of you ladies momentarily.
I don't see how these could be original, I grew up in the Bay, full of people and with plenty of 'cutting-edge' fashion available, and I never saw shoes with color schemes like those. There were Air Court Force and Delta Force and Air Jordans in all manner of bad eighties/ninties trim, splatter paint and 'snakeskin', but never saw styles like what's in this catalog. These are too ....tasteful. There wasn't anything like that when these were new. I just wish I still had some Blue Jordans. I never would have skated in them had I known they could sell for a mint.
