Adidas Return of the Mac – T-Mac 2: The Rebirth « The Fresh Heir

The Return of the Macs have arrived. I can say with 100 percent confidence that anyone currently between the ages of 18 and 22 who played anything from street to rec to AAU basketball growing up ranks the original T-Macs (I, <a href="http://www.christian-louboutin-2012.com/christian-louboutin-evenings-c-7.html"><strong>louboutin wedding shoes</strong></a> II, or III) somewhere in their top five bball shoes of all time. They were just the greatest. I had my favorite pairs of Js, sure, but there was something special about my black T-Mac 2′s with the blue stripes that I wore when I scored 20 points a game for the Ellington travel “B” team that finished 1-17 (NOTE: the one win came as a result of my one and only buzzer beater against Canton in the first round of the playoffs. No joke. Ask DJ Hartman). Anyway, a couple weeks ago Adidas announced that the T-Mac 2 would be re-releasing at some point this summer, but with a few adjustments and modifications. I can’t find any high definition photos of the OG T-Mac 2, but I’ll post the best <a href="http://www.christian-louboutin-2012.com/products_new.html"><strong>christian louboutin discount</strong></a> one I can find below this paragraph to serve as a comparison. Basically, they removed the classic T-Mac logo (now they don’t have to compensate the former superstar, look how that works out), they did away with the inner liner around the ankle, and they revamped the midsole to make it a more prominent and glossier cut. There’s no question that if I had a choice I’d take the OGs over the “Return of the Macs” in a heartbeat, but after receiving my shipment of these today and examining them as well as wearing them around for a couple hours, I’ve gotta say I’m pleasantly surprised. They look very clean on feet, and they’re no less comfortable than I remember them being ten years ago. Even if the quality was sub-par, for 65 it’s hard to complain. Finishline’s low retail price caught me off guard, but it was a relief, especially <a href="http://www.christian-louboutin-2012.com/christian-louboutin-pumps-c-1.html"><strong>christian louboutin pumps sale</strong></a> after just last last week I decided to sit down and total up the amount I’ve spent on sneakers in the past six months. And I simply had to have these, even if just for nostalgia’s sake. They aren’t exact “retro” models and a lot of people were upset with the modifications after seeing initial photos, but I’m not unhappy in the least. A comfortable pair of T-Macs for a good price that remind me of a simpler time when both Tracy McGrady and I were dominant players in our respective <a href="http://dynastes.dy.funpic.de/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=78010#78010"><strong>Bbc World News Presenters | News 1 Reporter - Current News Online</strong></a> leagues. T-Mac still remains my favorite player in the post-Jordan years, and it’s a shame to think what he could have been had injuries not held him back. Bottomline, if you were once a fan of the T-Macs and rocked them proudly on and off the court like I did, do yourself a favor and pick up a pair of these at your local Finishline or at finishline.com for the low price of 64.99. They aren’t perfect, but you won’t be disappointed. Haters gon’ hate. I’ll leave you with a couple more pics. &nbsp; 聽聽 聽 聽 聽 &nbsp; Tags: Adidas, Return of the Mac, T-Mac
