Nike might replace the tuned air with regular air max like they did with the recent Garnett retros. 
 
I remember in my hustlin days I copped the black/ blue  pair, the navy/carolina 95's, the black 95 w/ jewel swoosh, blk/red jordan 15's and two nike jackets. Out of all those shoes I beat these up with the quickness. Loved them.
 
yea i mos def need the black/blue joints to make a comeback. with no changes tho. definitely no 360 air. that'd kill the whole design

The columns are aligned to a certain side of the shoe to encourage a certain motion of the foot.

I was a huge fan of the Air Max Plus and I'm a pronator. Those were the best shoes ever and if they brought these out I would cop. I skipped these because I was still in love with its predecessor.

They have retroed this before IIRC... mostly in Europe though...  I wore my OG Hyper Blues into the ground til the foam around the bubbles broke off.... 
  
 
^I thought they retro'd the hyper blue cw but with the 360 air bubble. I know multiple cw's of this shoe have come out overseas, but I've yet to see this particular cw.

They retro'd the Hyper blue color way in 2003, thats the last time we saw them (outside of the 360 retro with the am plus uppers).
I wish they would retro these colorways 

The first being my favorite

I want all of those, especially the orange pair. Had those in high school. Greatest Air Max EVER IMO!
 
pretty much the whole air max plus line was great...i think they failed miserably on the air max plus 10 but 1-9 were all pretty freakin awesome. too bad you can't find them anywhere because they were really only released in the EU and in smaller numbers
 
Ya'll know how i feel about the hyper blue pluses.

get around to the tailwind 4 as well

They used to be comfortable, after 2003/04 they wen't down hill.  Materials, comfort and a lot of the color ways were all pretty stale.  1998-2003 AM PLUS

co-sign to all of this.

Quality took a nosedive when production was moved to Vietnam.  The materials all completely changed.  The shoe no longer ran narrow but the much thinner material just didn't feel strong.  Once the Tuned Air shrank, so did the overall comfort and quality.

Yesss 98-03 was heaven for AM's. tuned air. ahhhhhhh. so much love. Air max plus, am plus ii, am turbulence, tailwind 4 are so hard. man i miss the days. i need these to return in og colors. and no 360 air. bring them in from the glory days. there was a time, at least where i grew up, around 97-99 where am's went waaaay harder than forces. mind you jewels were dope, but air max plus had the color game on lock.




hahaha I remember I found these at an outlet back in 04 i think for 35.99 lolll only wore them a  few times.  such a crispy colorway.  i missed them when i was a kid. so when i saw them at the nike outlet, i was blown away.  my pair is still just as crisp as the picture.  i might wear this weekend for nostalgia
 
Just copped from the bay...received in the mail 3 days ago...49.99 + shipping. my size worn once. beautiful.
 
YES! I'm in love with the 1's. Those hyper blues and the oranges are straight flame. I would love to see these retro, I wonder if we will be surprised with a QS in '12 since they are getting super wild anyway?
