I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask (I wasn't sure if I was supposed to make a new thread for just this question) but where does the big toe end for you guys when you guys wear 1 Highs? Right at the toe box stitching?

Commercial diving was going to be my career path once upon a time…Hurt my back and knee so it’s all about leisure diving for this old dog…Pay is probably on par with what a nurse makes, or at least it was when I was heading in that direction…Can make a great living but it’s tons of working hours so doesn’t leave much room for having down time if you want to make the higher end of the pay scale…FWIW, depending on the situation, the dirtier the job the better the pay; so yeah read into that as you will…

therealest1 therealest1 gets a bunch of flack but he’s a good dude…It’s some other people on here, never mind…Not going down that road this morning :lol:

Dope, but I think I’m passing. Although I’ve been dreaming of a Black Toe w/ Black Tongue (with red of course), and I do love green, I’m more a fan of a darker Pine Green. Clean nonetheless, but I’m not in dire need of these.

All these photos are filtered anyway. Brightness enhanced. Plus swapping out the laces. They’ll be perfect with true green Celtics gear, plus vintage Celtics gear, not that new city forest green alternate.

Perfect w this hat wear yesterday

I believe that photo is from the 98 season.

…his last game in Madison Square Garden.

At least it was supposed to be.

That is correct. It was the 1997-98 season because it was his last game at Madison Square Garden as a Bull. It's easy to tell because of the shorts since it was the first year the Bulls changed to solid black for their alternate color uniform.

He acknowledged he endured discomfort playing in those shoes because of their age and condition. I believe he mentioned his feet were sore as well.

He wore them because he had a feeling it was going to be his last visit to MSG as a Bull. He wanted to get retro with it like that in the Mecca.

I think his exact quote was something along the lines of the bottom of his shoes were "covered in blood."

Which I'm still skeptical of.

...strikes me as dramatic overkill.
