Would love to see these come back correctly...but hesitant to see what they'd do to the pump system...

Not to hi-jack, but they could always go with the AF VI, similar look with the same midsole. And no pump to try and replicate. I *^$% loved that shoe back in the day.

 

[trethousandgt]

^^^ those were ok IMO, definitely retro worthy but for me personally Id love to see the solo flights come back before those.

Vote 1 for the 180force pumps.
Had a pair back in the day and then when they were almost beat I cut the top pump part off just above the lace hole before the top 2
and wore them as low cuts. They actually looked pretty sweet. It'd be sick to have another pair. I would prob buy 2 and cut 1 pair down!!!!

THEY DEF need to get the color right.
Check out this commercial

Dog, that commercialbrings be back! i was 4 i think when i saw that

Weren't these like 200 when they dropped 20 years ago? It's a dope shoe, don't get me wrong, but I would imagine that Nike would increase the price for a retro shoe and for Nike to try to sell a non-Jordan, non-foamposite, non-gimmick shoe for $200 seems like a bad business decision...

With that said, you damn right I voted

Retail on them was $130.00 USD, (check out the first page of this thread you can see the original catalog pics).  Appreciate the vote!

  Hopefully if and when they do retro the price won't be over the original price tag.

Here's some more photo's enjoy

Both of those are so sexyyy

 

[jenks82278]

I still remember the day I talked my grandpa into buying these for me. He still gives me crap about having him spend $130 on shoes for me. I tell him he doesn't even want to know what I spend now!

 

[trethousandgt]

^^^LMAO, you should tell him what they are worth now! lol

 

[s dubl]

These would be at least 250 of they retrod now. They'd have to be a pretty good retro for me to drop that kind of money on a pair...

 

[c4]

I agree, these would be a lot of money. If done right, I couldn't resist. One of my favorites from when I was a kid

 

[trethousandgt]

Theres no way these would retail for 250.00. Original MSRP was 130 when they originally dropped and Reebok was able to keep the Original MSRP of their pumps

 

[green rhino123]

they could feasibly do em for $200

 

[s dubl]

If they sold as a limited release (which would most likely be the case) and retailed for 200-250 they would sell due to all the people that have been dying for a pair thats wearable. Nike knows this and will take full advantage of the consumer on something like these.

Here are some more pics of the pairs I had...

I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE HAD BOTH PAIRS -

THE NIKE AIR COMMAND FORCE and 180 COMMAND FORCE

SINCE 1985 I HAVE ONLY WORN 3 PAIRS OF SHOES THAT WERE NOT AIR JORDANS

IT WAS THE 2 COMMAND FORCE'S AND A PAIR OF NIKE 2K4 HUARACHE KOBE LASERS I WON IN A 3 POINT CONTEST AT A CARNIVAL.

NOW I AM A BIG JORDANS FAN AND HAVE BEEN SINCE DAY 1 1985 WHEN I GOT THE OG 1'S AT AGE 14 BUT

IN 1990-91 I HURT MY ANKLE REALLY BAD PLAYING BALL IN OG 5 JAYS (I AM GLAD I DID NOW) AND NEEDED A PAIR OF SHOES TO HELP SUPPORT IT NOW UP TIL THAT POINT I HAD ONLY WORE JORDANS SINCE THEY CAME OUT AND DIDNT WANT TO WEAR ANYTHING ELSE BUT I WASNT GOING TO GET ANOTHER PAIR WITH A BAD ANKLE SO I WENT ON THE HUNT FOR A NICE HIGH TOP AND WHEN I SEEN HOW HIGH THE DR PUMPS WERE I KNEW THAT THATS WHAT I WANTED

AND THATS HOW I GOT THE FIRST PAIR OF DAVID ROBINSON NIKE AIR COMMAND FORCE AND I LOVED THEM SO OFCOURSE , I GOT THE SECOND PAIR THAT CAME OUT EVEN THOUGH MY ANKLE WAS ALL BETTER , TO ME THEY ARE SOME OF THE BEST SHOES OF ALL TIME AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RETROED ALONG TIME AGO WITH THE PUMP WORKING , WHY THEY HAVE NOT - I DONT KNOW!!!!!!!!!!

THE FIRST PAIR I GOT WAS , THE HOT LIME AIR COMMAND FORCE

AND

THE SECOND PAIR , AIR 180 COMMAND FORCE- THE PAIR WITH THE DIAL ON THE SIDE THAT LETS YOU PUMP UP THE SHOE IN 2 PLACES

IMO , ONE OF THE GREATEST SHOES EVER MADE AND SHOULD BE RETROED ASAP WITH THE PUMPS WORKING AND WHEN

THEY DO I WILL BE SURE TO COP A FEW PAIRS FOR THE COLLECTION AND TO WEAR.................................PEACE23

 

[dmxfury]

I would definitely pick up a pair and put in the shelf next to my Pump 20 OGs that released last year. Classic shoes

CFs all day and not some hyperfuse/lunar free remake ......
