If that was a size 10, pretty sure that was one of 4 pairs I bought off eBay in 1998 to share between Alex and me. Mine are LONG gone but he kept everythingIf we get a retro 3 sometime soon please let them not do the yellow vintage midsole treatment. Got lime doesn’t mesh well with that yellowing.

This stayed as a sample, right?
Cuz I remember seeing the catalog pic, but don't remember if it ever released.

the shape of the new pair is nice in person but I have a hard time buying something that looks more worn or aged than my last pair
especially at full price
I still expect to see these on sale in some capacity after they keep releasing them in small increments

This color blocking is perfect. They need to release this sample or at least use this color blocking with a different colorway.This stayed as a sample, right?

Nike trying their best to make shoes like ATC's, Diamond Turfs, Penny 1's hyped through artificial scarcity is nasty.

Looks like the gray parts will be cracked leather.

Will the pink and clay colorways have the same quality of leather as the hot lava?
If not as limited I feel like Nike wouldn't use the same quality.

And not the same new mold they used on the Lavas....I'll never understand why they don't apply better molds to all colorways; so dumb.

You’re giving them too much credit. It’s shipping delays

Its crazy how Nike used to have the same standard original shape for all their og colorways and somehow now they selectively choose which colorways get the “og treatment” and some of the other original retro colorways do not.

The aged midsole color on these aren't bad. It's subtle. They also didn't 'age' the toe, unlike the Lava's.
If the Lava's had this same aged color I would have copped.
Nike did too damn good tho on the Lava's matching the orange-ish aging, but it looks terrible IMO.

I was about to say this too. Why does Nike do this?
