i remember wanting a pair of the “Grant Hills” bad. in my elementary school if you had the olympic joints with the stars on the toe instead of fila you were the ish. sucks though. i remember right after Grant went down with the ankle injury you could get a pair of these in quite a few colorways for like 25 bucks. gotta keep an eye out for ish like that

I agree with comment #9. The doernbecher Jordan 1’s were the best shoes released this week. Nicekicks is sleeping. Also a fan of the lazer 1’s which release last saturday, they are technically part of this week as well…

This was a bad week in the sneaker world.
I wasn’t really feelin’ anything except the Doernbecher release.
and I’m surprised that it wasn’t a big event on Nicekicks.

Black/Gum forces got it with the greys in second. I didn’t pay too much attention this week so I’m just pickin my favorites out of these.
Nov 14, 2008 at 9:40 pm
the sugar rays are the ish. love the m5’s but not the navy colorway. i like the university blue melo’s wearing. those kill all these by far. but even better than all these are the Doernbecher Jordan 1’s I got today. they are straight fire!!! anyone lookin for a pair, i got sizes 10 and 15 up for auction right now on ebay. check em out (julz3728)
