contest details

We’re giving away one of these vintage t-shirts from the legendary MJ Miami Victory Tour. We discovered a small quantity of various color and size vintage MJ tees that have been in storage since 1984. The best part is they’re in mint shape, yet completely aged to perfection. We’re complimenting the release of these items to auction by hosting a giveaway.

P.S. All the auctions at 1 penny, so you might want to check them out after you enter the giveaway.

This contest is for everyone! The deadstock inventory contained multiple sizes from a child’s 10-12 right up to vintage XL and the winner can select the shirt size of their choice. Have a peak at the auctions to explore what sizes are available.

This is the third time that I’m posting about the Nike Air Trainer SC II… This time because nicekicks.com posted great pictures of their pair Nike Air Trainer SC II in the infrared colorway. How long will it take before Nike will retro these?
