I rocked the OG Pegasus back in '84. Cream with maroon swoosh. Worn with sand jumbo-cord trousers and a sheepskin, probably an adidas Lendl polo or Thai-copy Lacoste in the appropriate colourway, bought straight off a scouser with a passport and a binliner full of Bangkok's finest market dash.
I had a beautiful one that got packed and moved by a former roommate who would not own up to it. I really need a new one, have been looking for years - including online - but as with sneakers, size an issue.
I gave that sheepie to a friend BITD but did cop a great one years later from a vintage shop here in N*ttingham. It was like, the sheepie Starsky would have rocked when it were too cold for his cardie. ??10.
The wife hated it and it was banished to charity rapido. Said it made me look like a tramp.
On the way down i found a bunch of unplayed disco 12s in Oxfam, i gave the guy in the shop a 52nd Street 12" and a Bobbi Humphrey 12" with nice dubs and he gave me discount on my purchases.
So, I'm not a big Nike guy, but some of these knit joints are sick. It's an interesting direction over the same boring uppers we've seen year over year. Looks like I'll be copping.

I didn't care back then, nor do I now.

"Tramp is a look." fell on deaf ears.
hatt all you want but the Stabs remain the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn.
lol don't worry about me. I have like 6 pairs of Stabs; insofar as this extremely limited corner of the shoe world goes, I know a fake when I see one.
that said, I wouldn't be mad if they were fake given what I paid!
definitely a comfortable shoe, particularly if you have flat and or wide feet
:cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:
and these
but eventually left with these
and some big E Levi's 505s.

Any other sneaker heads getting their hands on these on Saturday?
The Swoosh(tm) is huge on the upper...reminds me a bit of those black Puma's with the big logo near the toe. The rest of this shoe is fine, though.
wasn't there a 'son of glove' that replaced teh swoosh with script? or was that just on that swap meet tip?
i fux with these. precursor to the latest aqua sox Jordans.
They did release a couple cheaper models of the Flight 98's, including the Son of Glove, shortly after the initial release.

i like the weave tech alot, but the shoe looks like a golf joint.
Is it THAT particular colourway, or all of them in general? I'm not really seeing it.
nike half-cabs are usually cut long and thin. golf shoes do this. i see his point in a small sense of form and maybe fit, but that's about it.
Scored a much cleaner version of these Snake skin adidas shell toes for $20 on ebay.
Copped
:feelin_it:
Anybody squab it out at the footlocker for some gamma blue 11's?
:oof:
I'm not a fan of anything Adidas, but these are nice.
Batmon, I got the Peanut butter and jelly KD VIs.
