Throwback Thursday - Purple Air Force 1 High
Posted by Matt Halfhill | Feb 28, 2008| In a disputed and recounted vote, NYC elected the 1993 high top Purple/White Air Force Ones as their pick as the best Air Force Ones. With the win at the ballot box, those Air Force Ones will be re-released this summer in extremely limited numbers only in NYC.
This week’s Throwback Thursday sneaker is the original pair that we luckily got our hands on. It has been 15 years since released, but thankfully the wait will be over in just a few months for NY heads. Take a look at several more photos we shot after the jump. Thick leather, simple colors, bring back to good ol’ days. |

^ Eff that, yellow soles make them BETTER! My 94 AJ1s are yellow, and I love it. Age is a beautiful thing.

If only there was a way to get those soles white again wouldn’t need retro’s
