We just got tipped off about some auctions that will tantalize both vintage skateboard aficionados and vintage sneakerheads. Thomas (the guy who assisted us with our Top 30 Vintage Skateboard T-Shirts list) is hosting this sweet bunch of auctions. By the way – the third and final part to our skate tee list will be posted by week’s end!

Thomas has a handful of vintage skate shoes for sale including a rare deadstock pair of vintage Airwalk Prototype 540 shoes. There’s also a bunch of vintage skateboard t-shirts up for grabs like this insane vintage Zorlac t-shirt from 1981 and a super sought-after vintage Powell Peralta multi-print t-shirt.

Wyco are the crew who sold the vintage Harley Davidson t-shirt with the Champion blue bar label for a whopping $777.77. If you bid 777.76 fear not, they do have another one and it’s on sale.

As a side note to other eBay sellers out there – please give us the heads up as to your sales events and rare items you list and we’ll do our best to get the word out.

OK. Michael Jordan was a great basketball player. No doubt.
But i am more impressed by the shoes in this picture, then with the actual players.

Blue Air Revolutions and blue Alpha Forces!!!



360 Vintage: Nike Challenge Court (1988)

May 23, 2009 by Karl · 1 Comment  

If you wanted a pair of Air Tech Challenge 3/4 back in 1988 – the one’s Agassi was playing with, and you asked your mom for a pair like that, you probably would have gotten these:


The poor mans air tech challenge, or just: the air challenge court…
These would have been a lot cheaper back then (probably a good 40% less then the ATC 3/4) and they look “kinda” like the ATC 3/4…. the pink toe (also durathane, like the big brother) and similar color combinations….

the good thing is these are still wearable. The ATC 3/4 had a polyurethane midsole, while these are just, good old plain rubber :)
