Ok, who knows sneakers? →[More:]I'm looking for a pair of Jordans that looks like this- I don't know if they actually exist in this color combination, or if this was an artistic interpretation of another pair. Any sneaker nuts in the house?

They may not exist now, but that color combination was the absolute shit back when I was in high school. Maybe look for some mid to late 90s vintage?

My sister's CAR was even in that color combo. Teal and purple were everywhere.

Oh yea, I had stuff in that color combo, too. Loved it.

Those look like an artist's rendering of 90's Charlotte Hornets Nikes. Similar to these .

Are these close to what you're thinking of?

What a deal!

Like I said, I have no idea whether the picture is based on a real pair of shoes, so it's possible the shoes don't exist and they will therefore be impossible to track down. I wish they existed, though; like kellydamnit said, blast from the past.

You could also go the custom-NikeID route.

Kelly reminded me of that transitory aesthetic! I had a pair of Nike cross-trainers in that color combo around 1992.
