Airwalk Prototypes Kicks

The red/black/white are the exact reproduction of the prototype 600°F torch , for people who know what they talking about , sk8 dude and not some fancy chichi fashion sneaker addict , find any promo from airwalk arround 89 and you will find them everywhere . it was kult shoes !! and still this days , like all the sk8 design from this period . but only few people can apreciate this grail ; got mine and love them !! and thanks the 400 for the re-edition . just perfect.
When Bill Mann, the founder of Airwalk, left the company in the mid 90’s, Airwalk decided to go more “mainstream”. The company was then sold, and found its way into the hands of Payless Shoes parent company years later. Since we’ve all heard that things always come full circle, I guess the fact that these Airwalk Prototypes are going to be limited, is the epitome of that.

The Hundreds just received their shipment of Prototypes, a silhouette that returns from its late 80’s origins in some classic colorways. Only 144 pairs of each colorway are available, so if these bring back memories like they do for me, you’ll wanna cop them quick.

Will limited numbers and throwbacks be enough for jeffstaple to bring this company back from the depths of the clearance rack store that Payless Shoes has become?

Decide by checking out the colorways after the jump.

These arent the prototypes the prototypes are alot different
