Dragonvoi Impressive Collection Of 14 Romeo 1.

It looks like a fifth digit has faded from the second serial. 5991(8).

Good spot. Looking at it though, I don't think that was supposed to be a part of the 5991 number. They've obviously had number issues with this pair. It's definitely a Jordan as the lenses are smaller and the frame is a lighter colour in general. Standard size lenses do not fit and all rubber was original when I acquired it.

Yes there's no questioning their authenticity as a Jordan. I've seen this type of misprinting on other pairs. I have a plasma romeo with an overprinted serial and another member also had a double printed plasma R1. It's just strange how I'd never noticed it until now. Could be worth a fortune !

I spotted the 4 digit serial above 2 seconds after I posted it, but didn't see the random slightly higher 8 till it was mentioned. Gotta love the Jordans

The collection is very impressive I agree! In as were to your question , there were 3 models for the Romeo 1 on general release. These were -

X Metal / Black Iridium
Titanium / Gold Iridium
Plasma / Fire Iridium

The 4 digit early x metal black iridium were known as the Jordan's but I think you already know this. There was also a titanium version with a persimmon lens given to athletes, but were not available on general sale, nor were boxed.
Cheers!

Does anybody here have one of the athlete models?

Do you mean an original catalogue from when they were first released? I don't have one of those but it would be nice . You're welcome and I hope the pictures help you . The last 2 pictures are the Jordan version (4 digit serial).
Cheers
Stuart.
