Air Max Force (Michigan Fab Five)

^^^i concur. with these being my holy grail, i was very disappointed to see more changes on the re-retro!!! that whole back part of the shoe looks like crap to me. i still have one pair of the og retro on ice...may have to stay that way...or maybe not...

ppl will know wheni wear them, cause my shoe tongues will be sticking out at them...haha

These have been up on Swoosh for a few weeks now. I should be gettin mine this week.

I'm pretty sure that if they've been on Swoosh.com, then they've been on NikeStore.com as well.

Check the "Sport Culture" Section. Don't ask me why, but that's where I found them. They don't show up on the basketball section. I just checked and only sizes 12 and 14 were sold out.

Good Luck.

I won a pair last week on that auction site.

I'm usually a size 9.5 in Nike ball shoes, but in the last few years, it seems so hit and miss with Nike basketball shoe sizing. These would be my first Barkleys. I won a size 10 and hope they fit just right when they arrive.

I find some comfort in that other NT'ers had to go a 1/2 size up too.

Peace

Yes. He's among the few who gestured for CWebb to call that infamous timeout.


juschiang:
I remember seeing a still photo either on "Beyond the Glory" or one of ESPN's shows that showed Pelinka gesturing for the timeout but if you think differently, then that's that.


Dude man you're wrong. I'm watching every little replay of the game that I have and there's no evidence that Pelinka made a timeout gesture. Even the "Beyond the Glory" show that I had TIVO'd shows no evidence. He's on the floor still at that point of the game, in place for Ray Jackson. He was the one who fouled Pat Sullivan to get him to the one-and-one. As soon as Webber called he timeout, Pelinka put his hands on his head. Dude was an All Academic Big Ten, I think he's smart enough to know how many timeouts Michigan left. On the CBS Video that is released every year for the NCAA season, it cleary shows on the video a short black player signaling timeout. That player, by process of elimination, was Michael Talley, the shortest black player on the team. Even in the Fab Five book by Mitch Albom, Webber was looking at Michael Talley's direction saying, why'd you make me call a timeout, why'd you all make me call a timeout.

^^ damn I shouldn't have read that, I JUST bought a copy of Fab Five off ebay and I'm at the part where Cal (and the kid Kidd) knocks Duke out of the tourny when the Five were sophs. (great read by the way)

One of the reasons I was looking for the book was because of this release; I vaguely remember the Fab Five, and I definitely remember young Webber coming in and ballin for the Warriors... sigh...

haven't been this excited or pleased w/a shoe in a long, LONG time......got another 3 pairs on the way. i'm gonna be well stocked up on these, but when/if they go on sale, i won't hesitate to cop a couple more.

these babies fit like a glove, don't crease, and are still dang comfy for somewhat old tech. i love these things! :)
