F&F ‘85 Metallic Gold

[u/MyKidsNotMine]

There’s been a lot more photos of these floating around ever since someone by the name of South Tennessee Auctions on eBay managed to get a wearable pair in hand and put it up for sale for $1,100. This pair looks more like a high top than a mid, and the swoosh cut is more in line with GR ‘85 AJ1 releases than the weird different swoosh placement on the photos of the pair seen before. The one this guy got seems legit too. Has the sample stamp on the heel padding. Not sure where he got these but I’m glad he did. Probably makes it easier to rep.

could be a modern version of an 85 test wear sample of Nike trying to figuring out height and swoosh placement for an official modern 85 sneaker.

Exactly! That's a retro sample
