help?

warning: this is VERY random!

so, my boyfriend really wants some red vintage looking tennis shoes.... similar to these...

i've been searching online for them and it's harder than i thought to find some... he doesn't care what brand they are, but he definitely wants red ones and they have to have a thin sole, like the ones in the picture above (i guess the thin sole is kind of a big deal. :D) size 12.

Any links or tips would be appreciated VERY much!

oh, and there is a "real" post coming soon. Goodnight.

Nike is re-issuing their old looks. So they are like new versions of an old vintage look:

The Oregon Waffle may fit the bill... :)

Sorry I have no link to give to you. I used to have a pair of Nikes very similar to those pictured and they were sooooo incredibly comfortable. I hope he finds a pair just like them because they really don't make shoes that good anymore.

I love Puma's! http://www.zappos.com/n/p/dp/16416594/c/84821.html

Actually, I think these may be exactly what you are looking for: http://www.nike.com/index.jhtml?l=nikestore,grid,_pdp,cid-1/gid-142610/pid-142611,_grid,f-26007+4294966719+12001

Unfortunately they aren't available online, but I live in Eugene and would be more then happy to check Nike World here in town.

[Kim]

I think they are Nike Cortez. I want some, too, but no one has them in stock!

[JTreptow]

Elsie - Have you tried www.PiperLime.com? They have maybe one pair that would kind of work. Some others are close, too, but not very vintage-looking.

I just have to say--my vote is for the Converse---those are da' bomb! And, for $22.50--- who can complain? Have fun shopping! ;)

I totally had the red Nikes just like those in 3rd grade. I was SO proud of myself! Good luck finding them.
