Ok, I know these are not everyones favourite cup of tea, but I've been searching high and low for a pair for ages without any luck at all.

That is, until a couple of weeks ago when there was a pair of US 11.5 (my ideal size) on eBay. BIN was $60 and shipping was $20 so I bought them instantly.
They arrived yesterday and the box did indeed say US 11.5, but the shoes inside were actually US 12 (which I can easily wear without any problems). I decided to contact the seller anyway and asked if he had the US 11.5. He replied within a couple of hours and apologized for the mixup and told me he would refund me my money and that I could keep the shoes. Minutes later I received an email from PayPal confirming that I got my money back. Including shipping.
Result: I got myself a pair of grails f*cking free!!!
Needless to say I left the seller some very nice feedback

Yup, full refund and didn't have to return the shoes. I couldn't believe it either (and almost feel bad about keeping them, but funds are tight these days and who am I to argue if he tells me to keep them).
They are indeed 80s and only available as part of the limited NBA All Star weekend 2-pack, also including a pair of Artilleri Mids. I've never seen them for sale neither as pack nor separately, but the seller also had the other model, so I'm guessing he just split them up.
As oppposed to the Lukers these are actually made from tumbled leather (even the tongue) and are also mad comfy!

If thats the case, you are one lucky bastard!

Not a massive fan myself, but you cant knock free supes, especially a grail pair.
If you have £5 and Chuck Norris has £5, Chuck Norris has more money than you.
