Wms release 599820-001 http://www.afew-store.com/Nike-Wmns-Air-Max-1-Essential-Anthrazit-Schwarz
The purple is not as bright as in the pic you quoted but the suede is nice (rough fabric)
The mudguard is a bit too shiny though (no suede but some sort of cracked fake leather)

It's the same material as on these

These are very nice in person, nylon white toebox and teal upper

My first attempt at ironing the toebox. I think it came out well. 

Don't follow that chick's advice on that youtube vid. Don't iron directly onto the shoe. Use a wet heavy duty paper towel or regular towel between the iron and the shoe or you will get burn marks. I used a spray bottle and always made sure the area I was ironing was wet. Also, don't use your iron's highest heat setting. Use the setting for synthetics and keep the iron moving. Don't leave it in one spot for too long or you'll end up with burn marks on the shoe
 
Yea, for real suede don't iron directly on it. It works for synthetics, but for suede I wet an old t-shirt and put it over the area. If you get burn marks, or areas where the suede gets flattened, wet the area and take a toothbrush and brush the suede fibers. After you iron it and it dries you might get spots that look faded, but just do the water and toothbrush method I mentioned and it should fix that too.

no side angle shot?
 
Good work up there! I've been meaning to iron out my pimientos, but I was skeptical about suede. Thanks for that! Repped

Check the insoles - fakes I've seen have Nike air hyperfuse on them, My authentic ones only have nike air with the swoosh.
Fakes also looked like the back tab and plastic/rubber tabs for the laces were shiny - authentics are dull, almost a matte finish.
 
Are these White/Gold FB's an overseas-only release? I really try not to buy (mostly) white kicks, but these are too clean to pass up.

Also, I should be getting my first pair of iD's soon. I'll post pics when I get them.

Anyone have a lead on the Liquid Metal pack still available anywhere? Mercer is sold out.  Liberty of London had some, but they are sold out too.  I know Blends and Undefeated got them, but sold out.  Anyone have a local shop that still has some, any help would be greatly appreciated.

how limited were the two pairs? No release on NDC?
 
Japan tends to carry more of the smaller sizes and only very few in 10+ ranges. But no they monotones did not release on NDC. I don't think any of the SP released online. All the SP dropped instore only at top tier accounts. I think undftd, 21 mercer, kith, got the camos. hopefully post some more pics today. There has been off and on rain here. I don't like take pictures if the shoes indoors.
