1-of-1 Jordan Stivale X Vibram 1752 - Size 10 (1999)
the stivale (italian for "boot" - very creative, i know) is an anomaly in that its release date predates the entire jordan two3 apparel line by a solid two years. the fledgling luxury label as whole was geared toward a more affluent demographic of trendy young business professionals, off-duty models, and socialites. during their heyday, NBA players could be spotted rocking various two3 branded shoes & apparel while on courtside benches.
positioned as an emporio armani or ralph lauren alternative, this model most certainly looks the part, however their original PU foam midsoles barred them from the same long term wearability. with their brand new vibram soles, these will be able to be worn for decades to come & then resoled again - seize this very rare opportunity to own a fully functional piece of art & obscure footwear history before it's gone.
