Saw these on the bay from a US seller and have never seen these anywhere else before or since. Art. #015328

Just out of interest, what exactly is "tec green" by the way? I like the colourway a lot so it would be cool if anyone could shed some light about these.. how old, how hard to find, whether they are a US exclusive or something etc.. The seller only had them in size US 7.5 so it wasn't much of help either.
*edit* actually judging by the pic, they look kinda fake.. the stripes seem to be a bit off or maybe it's just my eyes getting crossed at 3:30 in the morning.

Ahh heck, wasn't really collecting supes actively in 2006 or earlier yet. Only had a few basic pairs back then. Was hoping one of the US shops I know would have had these but no such luck. Are the stripes the same kind of easily scratched type of shiny than what the white/cardinal ones I've seen around have?
Cheers for the info anyway, Tom. I appreciate. I'll just add them to my long list of "to find".

They're a GR from AW/07.....
Very nice too, even with the shiny stripe!

Cheers SK. So there are chances for me to find them as they aren't any limited release.

No these aren't the easily scratched type Grimmy, you'll be alright with these ones.
Would you be good enough to participate in this morning's edification?

Good to know, thanks. I've seen the other ones i mentioned in person and it would stress me out to wear them anywhere outside the door.

Yeah i got 2 different colour ways on those easily scratched jobbies. One pair is absolutely battered, they're just my beaters now, but whenever i sport the fresher pair i find i just can't relax cos the slightest thing will scratch em.

Yep. I wasn't seriously believing them being fakes.. was just my tired eyes seeing something that really wasn't there. Now i only need to find these in my size.

I think they were from 2006, or maybe a bit earlier? There was quite a lot around at the time but not many these days, mainly on US ebay I think.
