I've searched this forum and I haven't found anything about this amazing shoe! Since the Air Carnivores are already set to release later this year, why not give this shoe some love by doing its reincarnation in OG colorways especially the black/obsidian that C.Webb wore .. please Nike! I know this forum has somehow been a source of ideas to those guys in Beaverton, so I'm making a thread to atleast to gauge the love this shoe has on real sneakerheads and also a form of petition to make this retro happen

Please Nike, do this right and please make it available here in the Philippines!

First color up top was my fav, followed by the next one down. They're going to retro, but I'm not sure when. They're talking about it, but I think they want to see how carnivores do first.

I remember trying these on when they dropped and not liking how they looked for casual wear with shorts. Maybe I could pull them off with sweats or something but my legs are not long and these are kinda high and they just look funny.

Michigan killed these though, along with the flight huarache, and air force max b.

Don't care for the Slate colorway.

Do the Emeralds right, i'll buy them on release.
Do them wrong, i won't buy them.

Buy the Carnivores if you want these to release.

The two shoes have similar designs. Nike is sure to retro these if they do well.

What's dope are those Air Maestro's, have they retroed the first ones that came out? I had a black pair (Fab 5 wore them) in high school and LOVED em, the second release that pippen wore re-retroed....please gimme some Maestros.

I think if only Nike has decided to retro this first , and not the Carnivores this shoe will do well because the appeal is more universal imo due to the fact that they are basketball shoes, unlike the carnivores that you could only use now for casual wear, which will probably sit and hit the outlets in a short period of time.

I agree that these shoes MUST be retroed asap. I loved my pair that I had way back in the day. I found a pair on a clearance table at some local mom/pop store in 1996. I definitely want another pair of these.

The White/Black of these are also dope ! I had the Black/Slate way back and also beat the hell out of it. Although that colorway fades after some time it is still cool even if it looks so worn out.

So please NIKE! JUST DO IT!!!
