Rarely spotted makeups could be acquired by those in the know from fabled stores like Troop co-founder Teddy Held’s long-defunct spot in the South Bronx, nicknamed “Jew Man.”īig brands don’t acknowledge it openly, drug dealers and hustlers were the true style influencers of their era. Phased out shortly afterwards, the AF1 returned around 1986 to select East Coast stores (with a slightly altered shape complete with more regional exclusives).

Those exclusives turned the city into a destination for Forces footwear tourism along Interstate 95 brought the sneaker’s cult status to D.C. But the model lengthened its lifeline thanks to an extended collection of different colors, a byproduct of a “color of the month” initiative pushed by a cartel of Baltimore retailers (Charley Rudo, Downtown Locker Room, and Cinderella Shoes) making ambitious orders for special makeups.

The point made on using the inflation chart according to weight was 12V thinks tire inflation creates chucking, IMO it does not.In the world of sneakers, few styles last. There was some discussion earlier in this thread on tire pressure on the tow vehicle, there was the reply here today agreeing with 12V ,prior to that it seemed most run max inflation when towing a fifth wheel, I do. I don't think there is any time limit, I was just having some fun with 12V. Thanks just thought I would get some ideas on air pressure in the trailair maybe the information gets stale after a year.lol but seriously is there a time limit on threads and information asking for a friend?
