Best period by far
. I would love to see more 91-92 models. An not only basketball shoes. Cross trainers, aerobics, etc. were amazing from that time

I don’t think these are a flop, they purpose made more pairs to sell in outlets.

I didn't understand that colorway when it dropped originally, and I don't understand it now. I hate that version of these

Definitely didn't care for them back in the day. They were way too out there for me. My best friend had them and I remember being really confused. That said, I'd totally buy them now out of nostalgia.

Check you local outlets, my Nike has a FSR of the PIPs. The production date on them is from late last year, so these are fresh pairs.

That's kinda wild. If this run is anything like the first, it's a good thing you can pick through the shoes at the outlet to find one decent pairCheck you local outlets, my Nike has a FSR of the PIPs. The production date on them is from late last year, so these are fresh pairs.

Darn… this pair was in pretty decent condition. Just needed a little clean up.

That was one of the oddball later releases. Seems like it was basically the most normal of the high releases, although I feel like I remember a pair that was white/yellow/black.

Yep, that one on the far right was the one I was thinking of.

I never understood what was up with how Nike released this shoe originally. The launch white/green/orange pair is the only pair I ever remember seeing in stores in metro Detroit. And I don’t think I ever saw the lows in person in any colorway.

I had the middle pair up until 4-5 years ago before I left Ft. Hood.
The ones on the end I had in ‘92 after I just moved to Texas from NYC. In retail stores, I don’t remember, but they were in the outlet nearby. I remember these because I had on all Guess clothing (striped shirt and black jorts)
Found them again in 2010, and lost them again in another military move in 2016 leaving Ft. Campbell. Not my pic, but I’d take a retro for nostalgic reasons.

Damn, really? I think I saw all of them except the blue highs between Cincinnati and Lexington, KY. I for sure got the grey/black FTL exclusive lows in Lexington.

Yeah, it was quite strange to me at the time, too. I'd see loads of NBA players wearing all manner of low colorways, but I never could find them anywhere. That's why the white/red Pips were such a ghost of a grail to me for all those decades till we finally got 'em. It's possible the black/white/red pair was around in some stores and I just don't remember anymore, but regardless these were not seen in abundance in the southeast Michigan area. It was almost like we took a year off from that year's main shoe of the Flight line. It's also possible I saw some of the high colorways on shelves and just don't remember because none of those colorways was worth a crap to me. My HS colors were red, white and black, so combined with the Bulls effect, that was the type of colorway I always wanted back then. We definitely never go that with these where I lived.

Shoutout to this worker and their immaculate lacing job.
My goodness what a beautiful shoe! I took these for granted when they originally released because we were so spoiled with amazing shoes then.
Dat shape!!!!!
And the lines, and the perfs, and the details.....so good.
