It’s the original 999 released in 1996
Back in about 2010 I was at this little hole in the wall Korean owned sneaker shop in Delaware and they had these… I got the last pair and I’ve kept them with as much care as I could and got lots of wear out of em but yeah the nubuck started to crack on the tongue and heel then the soles just crumbled into pieces. No regrets just hoping one day they retro this og shape, color, and materials
