Chalk the Presto up for one of the dope sneakers that released when I was too young and too reckless to recognize the realness. Born in 1989, I was only 10 when the leisure-runner was released by the Swoosh in a menagerie of colors and model names (The Presto Cage and Presto Chango all featured different uppers) 2000-2001.

Any sneakerhead worth his or her quiver understands the explicit quandary I found myself in. I mean—heck, back then I received one pair every 5-6 months, happily wearing the outsoles off of every one of my shoes. (Wish I would’ve had the foresight to keep my dilapidated Converse Weapon or Nike Terminator reissues around.) And to make matters worse, I have lucid memories of passing the shoe buy as it sat perched atop “$19.99 Liquidation Tables” at Nike Factory Stores…Sigh…What it was to be young.

While I’m still on the hunt for my first pair(s), enjoy this resplendent yellow/white pair courtesy of Niketalk’s nismo82.
