When Nike started doing this aged thing 12/13 years ago I was not a fan. The AM90 AJKO etc looked bad. I think they finally got it right the last few years. Can’t say for sure but the customizers were doing such a good job, perhaps Nike just stole their ideas?

tech challenge 2s are classics
but the reality is they’re an outlet shoe in terms of demand
should be an easy cop on sale for 60-80 bucks which i will be there for

These aren’t hitting outlets. The 2016’s and 2019’s were more limited, especially in larger sizes.

Was about to say, those 2019's weren't easy to find at all in bigger sizes.

I got 4 words for you ...good luck with that. As others said, both the last 2 retros never went to the outlets (and if 1 pair is there, it's a return) nor did the last 2 releases hit discount. I'm jumping on the first 11.5 I can find at retail. Then maybe I'll grab a 2nd pair (and I NEVER double up). These won't be plentiful.

the later releases were staggered
stores got em in small bunches sporadically
even snkrs did it
they sold out in seconds then they were back up weeks to months later
only ones I remember really selling well were the black lavas in recent times
I think the lavas did go on sale but it was smaller amounts so they went fast
I’m not telling anyone what to do but I’m def waiting it out

Only makes sense to wait if you wear a size smaller than 10. No chance these sit in larger sizes.

every single nike retro I’ve bought in the last 2 years were heavily discounted
I have no reason to change my approach
if I miss i miss but I don’t see that happening

Yep I went to two stores in NYC and bought whatever I could find of the 12''s and they basically had 2 pairs. The black lava release was a mess in the US, the release date didn't have size 11 and up then they just randomly released them later on and they sold out in a second.

I think the aged concept will look nice on these, I don't think it would work for any of the other ATC's.

They should still put the ATC out in some acceptable retro form.

I want the future to be, you go to the Nike website, and you can actually pick whatever shoe Nike had made in the past, and it's manufactured for you in 2 -4 weeks and shipped out. So you can get any shoe, in any OG color you want. That would be a dream.

I doubt we’ll ever see that tbh. Would be a nightmare from a production standpoint.

How much would you be willing to pay for that option? No way that would be cheap to do.

The 2015’s were near perfect. If they ever bring the IV’s back I hope the heel print is closer to the og but I’ll take whatever they give us. I am losing hope that they’ll ever retro the 1’s. And I’ll take the 1’s with the II’s tooling at this point.

They won’t do that. They have a model now where they give a little of what you want. Then give you plenty of substitutions. They are beyond blessed to be able to make this work. They will not pivot unless it makes financial sense.
