NOW DO YOU SEE THE RESEMBLENCE? (note :notice the basket on the back of the shoe)

[VADER]

These shoes are based on the Kuwahara bike from 1982 in the movie E.T. (GOOGLE IT!) also the back has the design of the basket that E.T. rode in that famous night scene.
Anyways, it would make sense that these are Mexico exlusives because in recent years, Mexico had the largest mass UFO sighting . It caused many people to become believers just like the movie did. (GOOGLE THAT TOO!)

If you want a pair I have called shelter and they refuse to send to the United States or any part of Mexico for that matter. It has to be an IN STORE PICK UP ONLY!!!!!!!! (for what they say is their “store politics” in an e-mail I recieved. (oddly for only that particular shoe)
GOD I love the HYPE!!!! LOL!!!

By the way the biggest UFO sighting IN HISTORY was on July 11, 1991 with over a 100 separate videos of them in Mexico City.
That has got to by why these are related to E.T. and Mexico Exclusives… but i could be wrong. (it a good point tho)

BUT DON'T KNOW MUCH BOUT EM

[Aerosol Junkie]

well, i just went to the shop's website and they had a bit more info on it.... it doesnt really say that it's a Mexico exclusive they say this is part of nikes realeases that are themed after 80's movies....They also state that the red and white are also representing elliots hoodie and the white blanket e.t. had wrapped around him. hopefully they make it to the states

[Elwood27]

I really like the idea behind these.
I was so bummed when I went to Universal and the E.T. ride wasnt there anymore lol.

[FRESHSOLE23]

wow. my bad on speaking nonsense...

From what i heard, these shoes are part of an 80's movie pack with the Ferris Bueler's Day of highs (no idea on the mids). That being said, it sheds some hope on all those who need to cop a pair

[maxmoss1]

i liked these before but now that i know what these are made after i like them even more

[WuGgaRoO]

i will be honest... thye are pure patent leather.. these are basically a bapesta and I do not know why everyone is going nuts over them... they probably wont be released in the US, and if ANYONE tries to skate in them, they will be torn apart quicker than hunters..

That being said, it sheds some hope on all those who need to cop a pair ( very good chance for U.S. release in a few months, but still don't get why Shelter was so anal about this particular shoe being shipped anywhere in Mexico or out of Mexico. They HAVE the "Thrashin's" for 130 dollars which now sell at Flight Club for like 270 and they have no problem selling me those and shipping them to the U.S. Just makes me wonder?)
