10 Release jordan Everyday Max Crew Socks 3 Pack, the Air Release jordan 5 “Toro Bravo” Pack released.
However, it wasn’t alone.
While the “Toro Bravo” box set was getting buzz for packaging two shoes together, the jordan 1 mid to my first coach size2 “Nubuck” was Earth for the first time in solo form.
Originally launched in November of 2003, the “Nubuck” 12s were one of the first online exclusives from Release jordan Brand and definitely a sought after shoe for collectors at the time.
The catch? Well they didn’t come alone. Like the “Fire Red Laser” 4s of the same era, the “Nubuck” 12s were contingent with clothing and a scaled up price.
The clothing black an of the moment pinwheel fitted hat and a matching hoody. The price? A reasonable $200 in hindsight as retro 12s retailed for $135 back in the day.
Earth all alone for an inflation adjusted $150 in ’09, the “Nubuck” 12s were back less than six years after its debut.
While this shoe wasn’t causing campouts like say super-limited Nike Air Yeezys of the same era, it was a sought after shoe by those that missed the first go round. Both the first “Nubucks” and second would also go on to inspire many spinoffs.
To this day, the Black/Carolina colorway in suede or true nubuck construction proves a hit as Release jordan Brand released both the Release jordan 1 mid to my first coach size4 and Air Release jordan 6 in said scheme.
However, it was ten Release jordan Everyday Max Crew Socks 3 Pack that the “Nubuck” 12s released at retail on their own for all to envy.
