Jon’s fashion corner - the Fab 5’s sneaker

In 1992, the Michigan Fab 5 took the basketball world by storm. They were Freshmen yet basically an all star team. They brought a different kind of swagger than we had seen before. Part of their swagger was their shoes - the Nike Air Flight Huaraches.
These shoes also gained popularity in the NBA.
Since I got into sneakers a couple years ago, I’ve wanted a pair. Nike released a limited reproduction in 2015. You can find them on eBay for around $120. I never wanted to pay that much for a niche pair I’d hardly wear.
Today I went to Marshalls on my lunch break. The Marshalls near my office has great deals on sneakers from time to time. Today, I hit the jackpot.
No clue how THESE sneakers could end up at Marshalls 4 years after release. I’m thinking some Nike storage facility had a stack of these that just never made it out and they dumped them on Marshall’s in a package deal with all the other “regular” shoes. Made my day!

Honestly, I admire your passion. Congrats on what is apparently a find. Carry on and have an upvote.

I think I have a clue how they ended up there.

If I ever caught myself perusing fricking Marshall’s on my lunch break I would jump into a moving car.
Congrats on your 30 y/o basketball shoe

Those run $125 new online so good buy! If I had money to blow I would love to buy retro basketball shoes from the 90s.

As a kid in the 90s the Jordan’s, Scottie pippens, Ken Griffey jr, deion Sanders, and penny Hardaway shoes were the goats!

Hard to say. We haven’t seen much of either in some time
