WWII U.S. Soldier on Patrol in Sago Swamp in New Guinea.

Spooky Pastime.

New Guinea - Ankle deep in the mud of Sago swamp, Pvt Edward Kirby of Louisville, Ky. Hacks away jungle as he hunts any cache Japanese in New Guinea. The sharp machete is not only a useful weapon, it chops a path to their possible hiding place. Everyday, a Platoon of Yank fighters patrols the conquered area of New Guinea on a constant lookout for straying enemy.

Someone really wanted these!

Lets hope it was Nike trying to get their shape right and releasing a decent colorway?
