Title: Nostalgic Shoe Thread
Post by: zahed on January 15, 2021, 12:13:54 PM
If this thread exists, point me there and I will focus. This is half nostalgia half Hail Mary that someone has these adidas busenitz adv in a 12. I’ve looked years to replace mine with no luck.

They aren't. That's just someone putting that in the description on ebay. The NTS was no one's signature shoe. Jovantae wore them and it's been discussed in interviews with multiple pros that he was somehow the only person who made them look good, but not a pro model. People on ebay will put a walmart complete for sale and the description will say *vintage 90's tony hawk lester kasai chet thomas wet willy darkstar skate deck*. Best not to go to ebay seller descriptions for your skate history.

Good to know! I thought maybe this specific colorway was a sig or something when I saw it in google images.

Sorry, posting too much again, but the one other shoe I recall that everyone was wanting back was the Vans Half Cab in tan.

There is even a specific instagram account or two dedicated to the Half Cab, along with pics and rants, which in total is pretty interesting, to me at least.

This was my roommates  favourite shoe from back in the day. A couple years ago I was at a thrift shop and found a pair of size 7s in this colour way for $8. I bought them and we displayed them on the mantle until his girlfriend moved in and I moved out. Beautiful lines, they really don't make shoes like that anymore.
 
My pick would be Reynolds 2 grey/white, black/white with the black midsole hit.
