Hi,

I'm new to the forum so sorry if I'm not doing it right.

Between 1990 and 2000 I've had the best shoes ever.

I worn them until they were all torn apart and almost cried when they had to go.

I've always hoped to find that exact pair again.. Instead of finding a similar pair, I have never seen even an image of them, not even On-line.

I'll try to explain how I remember them.

They were Nike Air Cross Trainers Low, I'm pretty sure.

Although I am male, I kind of remember that these were officially in the women's section.

They were white with grey and some gold/yellow accents.

The tongue of the shoe was not just attached on the front but it was attached to the sides of the shoe with silvery/grey elastic fabric. On the outside of the shoe you could see this silvery elastic fabric trough a piece of mesh.

Because the tongue was kind of a half sock, they fitted like a charm.

So far the Air Cross Trainer Low IV seems to look a lot like how I remember them but they still seem different. And I can't find them in the colors as I had them either.

This looks a bit like it but it was different.

The sole looked like this I think:

They did not have a Velcro strap.

The nose has an extra small leather patch as accent and the sole had a grey speckled part on the side.

Sorry for being this confusing. I would love if anybody would recognize this model.
 
I went to these threads, it took me hours and it was a challenge not to get distracted after seeing so many shoes that I'm now interested in as well..

Still. no luck.. no images found ;(
 
I found the first image of this model, (see my avatar). Although it states Air Cross Trainer 5, I can't even find a second image of this one..
 
Those are the air trainer platinum low in women's

Bottom row middle shoe

You won't find that shoe anymore and if you do they won't be wearable probably

I believe that you are right!!! Why is there so little information or images of this shoe online? And do you know if there is any other Nike model with this type of tongue?

Kinda obscure model that got lost in a time of really dope trainers.

There's probably a couple of retros with that type of tounge but off the top of my head the nike tech challenge 3 has that same tounge

Also theres a sneaker that released recently called the trainer huarache low (there's also a high with a strap) that looks kind of similar to the platinum ...or at least probably the closest you'll find

Those are pretty comfy too.
The tounge is different but it's comfy
There's other colors as well
 
I'm in awe of your knowledge and I just bought the "Air trainer Huarache low" in grey, they look similar and I think the tongue is rather similar as well. First time I bought shoes online after just seeing an image online, and your advice of course.
Why do you think the model was "obscure"?
 
My order got cancelled, were out of stock... The search continuous.. just on a different level.. If you know another option that is close... :wink:
 
The trainer huarache high are easy to find but they have a strap.

They're very comfy I've owned several.

There's probably a variety of shoes similar comfort wise but the trainer huarache in high and low are the only ones I can think of that have that sole.
 
It is the strap that I dislike..
Most Nike Air Trainer Huarache low released in 2015 so I'm strolling for lost stock size 9 (43).
I found a grey pair that I ordered but it got canceled since they could not find them.
I just bought a black and white pair from Russia. First time for me from Russia so not sure what to expect.
I found a white pair that seems to be pre-owned, I continue to search for a new pair..
Any tips on Air Trainer Huarache low size 9 (43) are more than welcome!

And other models that are available with the same tongue as the Platinum..
 
SC kid SC kid , you're still my hero and you were right. The Nike AIr Trainer Huarache low feels very similar to my beloved Platinums.
See the result of your help:
