doubled up on these in 2001 and broke out the second pair in 2010 after selling the used pair. the backtab is yellowing a little, but with almost 4 years of limited wear mine are in great shape. not even any midsole paint chipping. what i like about the 2001 release is the entire midsole is painted true blue unlike the more recent release. definitely one of my favs even though they don't get the attn the wc and bc get.
