2. Air much was the TD model & air more was the more expensive one. Think Air much was 89.99 retail & air more was 139.99. i remember getting mine from the ES for $75.60 :smile:. I need the air mores to re retro again lol
 
Who remembers these? I remember these shoes created controversy because the air was written like Allah in arabic. Was Nike trolling back then? :stoneface:

These and the Air Bakin's were recalled, there might have been another model too. Anyhow, because of the recall, I was able to buy 3 pairs of the red/blk Air Bakin's for $25 each at the outlets in 1997. The bottom sole was blacked out and they put black nike tabs on the back of the heel to cover the AIR that looked like Allah.

Want to say Nike Flight Lite II.....not exactly sure.

but had the red/silver colorway. comfy for regular wear but too "mushy" for basketball. IMO

definetly not flight lite II, from memory they were a signature shoe, peyton maybe? or pippen wore them, may be confusing them with a similar shoe
 
Thought I'd pump a little life back into this thread. Few pairs I've sold recently.

Unfortunately the sole has separated and they are most likely just going to get worse and fall apart especially if shipped.

I just dug these out of the stash a couple weeks ago.

Thanks.  It's died down a lot over the past couple months.  You can only list so much OG heat or have so much of it.

  I'm trying to get it going again.

1996 Air MUCH Uptempos.  Gary Payton rocked this colorway in the 96 Olympics.

That's the Darwin Lites isn't it?  My friend has a pair of them but they are all black with a red swoosh.  Pretty dope.
 
I love the fact that this thread just won't die! That & the fact that it reminds me so much of the NT I used to lurk lol.

Nice!  Lol.

Another pair of Darwins. My friend gave me these when we were younger.  I loved them.

Ahhh... one of the best memories of all. Wore this shoe the day I lost my virginity. :lol: NKOTB posters all over that room. :lol: I was like :rolleyes but I wasn't about to question shorty's taste in music if she was about to let me get it in.

Haha. Of course, my man. Forgot about it again though, so here I go finally.

Limiting this to models that have never been retro-ed.

Well, this was retro-ed, but this CW was jacked up so badly it's as if the retro didn't count.

Okay, cheating a bit here, since the Burst has been retro-ed, but the materials on this are so crazy I wanted to post anyway.
