OT: Hokie Colored Jordans

Just found these beautiful Air Jordans for only $100. I bought them, I had to - I didn't intend on buying any shoes as I was browsing but I saw those and couldn't pass it up. Figured I'd share it up here too in case any Key Players are interested in some o&m shoes, Jordans at that, for only $100 plus free shipping.

Here's the link for those interested: http://www.sneakerhead.com/air-jordan-1-mid-554724604.html

I bought these on release date to add to my collection of O&M sneaks.
I now have 4 pair of O&M flavored Nike's and a pair of foams called Gym Green, which depending on how light shines on them, reflect maroon or orange.

Great shoe. AJ1 - mids, well Jordan 1's in general, are quite comfortable and usually made of higher quality materials.

Tweedy can run like a dadgum antelope or whatever. I like to use scalded dog. Do antelopes lumber? Cheetah, OK. He runs like a cheetah. He's fast. - Bud Foster

Nice. Yeah these are my second pair of o&m Nikes. First being the Lebron 9 Low Chilling (I've mentioned em before on TKP)

I Grabbed these late last year. Now on Nike clearance section.

Damn. Replace the camo with orange and those are the slickest O&M kicks of all time.

Camo is the bomb though...

I got these for Xmas and they a super comfortable and look much better than the pic gives them credit for.

Got these years ago. These are my Hokie Grails. When the Hokies go back to the MNC game, I will wear these and my Vick 7 jersey.
Until then, these stay in the box. Only wore them once.

Here is the version I have. Wear strictly to VT games only.

Love those!

Bleeding burnt orange and chicago maroon

So I just got a new pair of AM90s after spending a month trying to find O&M ones, although I didn't look on Amazon. I tried creating my own but Nike doesn't have our maroon as one of their color options which is strange considering we are a Nike sponsored school. On that same note if you search for Virginia Tech on the Nike website nothing comes up. I think this is an important issue for our athletic department in spreading our brand and making gear available to us. I did find a mostly maroon and white AM90 on Foot Lockers website but not in my size. Shoes in our VT colors would sell well (as would Hokie Stone plaque in Lane replicas, but that's another thing) I'm not sure why it's difficult to find them, and why you never see any around campus.

Outside it's night time, but inside it's LeDay

My guess is that while we love our orange & maroon, they probably wouldn't be in high demand outside of hokie nation. I've had people tell me that o&m is an ugly combination. I can't comprehend that thinking, but it goes to show you that o&m may not be so popular outside of our network.

Plus orange and maroon are a strange color to have random shoes in ya know. For us, it's not random at all because we have a million shirts, shorts, hats, jackets, etc. to go with them but I doubt non-hokies have too many orange/maroon items in their dressers.

I feel dirty for having talked down on our beautiful color combination.

I was mainly talking about the Nike website not having a maroon, which is weird because it's a fairly common color, and that they don't have any of our gear on their website. They do have Duke, LSU, Georgia, and others on their website however.

Team Red or Crimson is all Nike offers.

Also found the exact ones here and here but not sure how legit those are, you may want to research it

My man

I would trust Ebay, not the other site. But thats the sneakerhead in me.

Price is about $85-$90

Don't forget some kicks for the ladies.

Nah honey those are red...not maroon.

@AMB4VT

Well those look awesome and I was definitely thinking about buying them, but then there largest size is way to small. You'd think they'd have larger ones since some Hokie athletes may get them and those guys can be size 17 plus, which would help the rest of us buy some size 14's, but alas it's not to be. Great find though!

Yes,that's the Hokie Bird riding a camel. Why'd you ask?

Is that the Hokie Bird riding a camel?

well, since we have a hokie shoe thread going, has anyone seen any Hokie colored Sambas?

I don't have to take this abuse from you, I've got hundreds of people dying to abuse me.

I haven't seen any, but you could try this...

thanks...i fear university red just isn't maroon enough!

I understand. Nike's Maroon is much more Chicago than Adidas.

Made some hokie shoes on there a few years ago. Been my gameday shoe ever since. I personally don't like the Jordans though, they look cool but they aren't very good pure basketball shoes. The AdiRose has become my shoe, they're amazing. I think Adidas has all around taken over Nike in the quality of their shoes.

Rip his freaking head off!

yeah I ball in adidas too, I just wear Nikes/Js to "look cool"

idk if you have tried any UA basketball shoes but i got a pair of brandon jennings a couple years back and now i wear steph currys (mostly when i ball outside) and nikes indoor because i wear my nikes for more than just playing ball but i think if UA could actually get some people to try them they would take over. super comfortable and great support i really like them alot.

I don't doubt it, I've come to realize that Nike is just the biggest name not necessarily the best quality. I think what I like the most about the AdiRose's is how light they are. I feel like I can run all day in those and I know my defense got better once I started wearing them. My one complain would be I can't get the tongue to stop tucking into the side of the shoe.

Rip his freaking head off!

Nike's quality has tanked on any shoe that is not called "Premium".

awe yeah thats the worst i used to wear rebook basketball shoes. AIs and steve francis were always really good balling shoes but i had the same problem. try thicker socks! while nike may not be putting out quality shoes there sock game is top of the line but expensive as hell.

Yea, the Nike Elite's are awesome (maybe VT can give us real Elite's next time!). I have those Puma socks from Costco, maybe I'll try wearing 2 pairs instead.

Rip his freaking head off!

I have these New Balance 1500BRG

and these Nike SB

Love the NB's made in England. The cost is so high.
They are strong. I wanted them but I was afraid of the maroon.

those New Balances are dope, might have to be my next pair of VT kicks

Been trying to find those Nikes for years...

I'd get a pair of these if I could find them...

The OM Jordan's are now at the Nike Outlets for 75.00. It is also tax free this weekend in VA.

they are now 50 dollars!

Available online?

Unfortunately not.

Need someone to scoop these up for me if they are close to an outlet store. Can send Paypal.

What size...I'll see what I can do.

I bought a pair of these for Mrs. 2Hokiesin1 a couple of years ago. Hoo-ribly uncomfortable according to her, so they're proudly displayed on our bookshelf now.

A decade on TKP and it's been time well spent.

Mrs. 2Hokiesin1

My mind can't process what this title means. Is it some woman who is married to both of the Hokies?

I'll never forgive myself for not buying the VT nike combat pro elite hauraches that came out a few years ago

Those were, by far, the best VT themed sneaks to be released.

FOSTERS: Australian for defense

This is perfect to replace my 14 yr old North Face backpack!

@AMB4VT

the colorway is called "sequoia"... If you google "The North Face Sequoia" a bunch of hokie stuff pops up:

FOSTERS: Australian for defense

That is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Available from Puma and other fine retailers:

Nike has some collegiate team shoes. Why don't they have some for VT?

( I like the Nike suedes, above, but I can't find those anywhere)

I took an old pair of white sneakers that I hadn't worn in a long time and gave them orange laces and spray painted them orange. Sorry I don't have any pics.

There is nothing in the world like Thursday night in Blacksburg!

That will work, and save you at least $100.

That's what I told the wife. I only spent a couple of bucks on the laces, I already had the paint.
