There was dozens and dozens of omissions. I could've stayed in the early 90s for this entire list, but tried to spread it out at least to 1999.

Final thoughts: Even if Nike stayed on pace and retroed just 3 of these per year, we would need a lifetime to truly cover all of what's out there. The further we get past 1987, the bigger the hole gets. I don't think Nike can ever catch up.

Some of these take obvious precedence other others but I didn't want to really get into a numbers game. For example I'd take one solid GR of the chlorophyll air trainer 1 and never ask for the other 49. What are some of your must haves? Post pic's, stories...etc... Nike needs to know there are still trainer fans out there (word to the 6 foamposite threads dominating nike retro).

First of all: Thanks!

1- Here's a TRAINER FAN.

2- "My favorite part about these is in the details. The tongue features horizontal lines of varying thickness creating this nice effect on the tongue."

...Just for you:

3- I only miss 2 models from your list:

     A- Nike air trainer II (1989):

and

     B- Nike air cross trainer II (1999):

4- As you know, with 2 exceptions (FTs and ACTIIs), cross training line died for me in 1993.
I really would like to know what happened with cross training designers between 1992 and 1994, but...

Anyway, it's not time for an offtpic, it's time for Cross Training and people here (and some at Nike too) should know that Cross Training was MUCH much more than just a sneaker line from Nike...

Here's an example:

-aka " Marinos". Maybe one of the most highly requested retros I've seen on the forums. Nike, give us both

Can't forget the Nike Air Turmoil Mids. They came out around 1995. Those shoes are my grails in the Purple colorway.

Great list, Wally!  It would be awesome if Nike would retro some of these, and do them justice.  I had those Air Trainer Accel's back in the day.  I know they're not considered that great by most, but they're special to me.  I saw the 1994 Huarache Trainers on fresh prince this morning.
