Beatles VS Jedis

December 16, 2009 by Jimmy J · 5 Comments

With the prices of vintage t-shirts soaring we’re pitting some heavy weights against each other in an all-out, no-holds-barred…civilized vote by vintage t-shirt aficionados.

Beatles Butcher

The true origins of this relic are unknown. Its controversial artwork is derived from the infamous Beatles Butcher album that was released in 1966 and subsequently pulled from shelves because of widespread complaints. The original banned albums are worth a small fortune and this tee is arguably even more scarce. Is it an extremely rare record store promo? Or one of the earliest examples of bootlegging? Either way it’s a vintage artifact.

Brand: Vee-Kay

Age: 43

Price: $20,000

Transcelestians

This badboy is quite possibly the most rare Star Wars collectible on any planet. A t-shirt made for crew when filming began for A New Hope, aka Star Wars aka Transcelestians (the working title). This is such obscure Star Wars trivia that when this working title is Googled, there are no results…seriously, try it. It was once owned by Ben Burtt, the four time Academy Award winning sound technician who got Darth breathing heavy.

Brand: Russell

Age: 32

Price: $29,000

December 14, 2009 by Karl · 2 Comments

I had these Tech Challenge for long enough and it’s time that somebody else can enjoy these…it’s one of my best pair of vintage nike that i have.

Perfect condition and you really can’t tell that these are already 20 years old
These come with the original box and the plastic nike hangtag.

Vintage Nike Air Solo Flight (1989)

December 14, 2009 by Karl · 1 Comment

PD1 from Niketalk is selling these 1989 Nike Flight…this guy knows his stuff…

You are bidding on one pair of Vintage Nike Air Solo Flight from 1989. The solo flight was the counterpart to the “air flight” model at the time, the air flight eventually being retroed as the “air flight 89,” but this particular solo flight model never saw the retro treatment. This model was worn on the court by NBA stars of the late 80′s such as Ron Haper, Mark Jackson, and Larry Nance, and worn by hip-hop stars of the era including everyone from Big Daddy Kane to NWA. A legendary piece of OG Nike memorabilia, these really take it back to the late 80′s nostalgic feel. Please don’t waste time second guessing the authenticity, this is the real deal.

On to the flaws. As expected, there is minimal yellowing to the midsoles and heel tabs in the back. The only evidence of cracking to the midsole shows on the left shoe only, there is no cracking on the right shoe. I’ve included detailed shots of the cracking which occurs on both the inside and outside portions of said left shoe.

This pair is brand new, deadstock, and never worn. They include the original box and the original hang tag is still attached, a collector’s dream. My loss is your gain! You may never see these shoes again…Get them now before it’s too late!
