After a long debate with myself, I kept the same formula that Nike used on its HOA project for its running shoes.
-7 models spanning almost 20 years worth of products
I present: NIKE HISTORY OF AIR (TRAINERS)... A proposal
-Purely speculative of course, I spent many free hours thinking to the past:
Do I add in all of the Bo Jackson early models? The SC I and SC III were something special but is that too much Bo?
-I wanted to span the entire life cycle of Nike's cross trainers from the beginning to the very recent
Questions that arose:
-Do I add in any of Deion's turf trainers, any of the other turf, or air max beasts? What about Griffey or the other football themed full length air shoes?
-Do I add a few shoes to my proposal or keep it right around the 7 shoe mark?
-------
From the TW and TW LITE series of the early 90s, to the free series starting in 2005, there were so many models to look through. Right around the turn of the century, Nike took a dump with the trainers, so I had to think about what model stands out between 98 and 2009, there was only one.
--------
In closing, I leave ya'll with the thought of what could be:
-7 models spanning 20 years
-2 iconic colorways from each model
-All to be released in true to original form over the course of 4-5 months.
Wouldn't that be something?
The question I ask you all, what model would you replace for something else? is this list acceptable?
