Pop quiz - anyone out there know what these are called? These are one of my ever-elusive Nike grails, and have been for more almost 20 years. These came out around the time I was a senior in high school (1997-1998) and I wanted them so bad but simply couldn't afford them. Back then, anyone who owned more than 4 or 5 pairs of shoes was really hard to come by and I couldn't really justify another pair of shoes. I saw them a couple of years later as new, old stock at a small mom and pop shop in (Santa Cruz) but still wasn't able to pull the trigger (still no money). That shop went out of business but every time I drive by their old location there I feel a twinge of regret for not picking them up when I had the chance. In any case, I know what they're called - do you?
