Ditto. I'm good on my Black/Greys (one of the most underrated shoes of all time, IMO). Would love to see this colorway. This one would be appreciated too
Man, back in the day when the OGs dropped I remember this being the first shoe i ever doubled-up on. Only because I beat the first pair bad, from wearing them during Freshman HS basketball... Midway through the season I bought another pair, at Nordstrom of all places. I recall getting them on sale too. Man, those were the days. Anyhow, this shoe is copped. Many thanks for the info.
hell yes....they #$%&^* that retro up completely. I recently copped a pair of the black/grey ones to make a custom og-like colorway since they couldn't do it. Would love to have this og white colorway though as for these force max.....love them but hated that the last retro had that awfully short tongue. still sitting on all my pairs from 2000 so i'm good
The good 'ol days. I remember getting the Air Penny I from JCPenny back when they first dropped. I do hope they bring back the White/Black-Cobalt color way for these Air Force Max's.
Thanks for the extra pics. Just FYI, though, those white/reds were from the 1st round of retroes in '02 or whenever it was. There were only 3 OG colors in 92-93 - Black/Grey/White/Silver, White/Black/Cobalt -Purple/Concord- (and they F'ed up the retro BIG TIME), and that oddball Stone Grey/Black/Teal. For anyone curious on what's wrong with the retro Cobalt model, the toe cap of the sole should have a black top with Cobalt lining the bottom, and the lycra ankle collar should be black splatter-fading into Cobalt (similar to the Agassi ATC II's). EDIT: Found a pic of the OG Cobalts: Peace, J
^^posts like this are rare on this site these days....good work on the info and the picture. My retro cw will know look like $#!t in my eyes
I wore mine into the ground too..i loved that shoe..the air bubble popped Will pick up a pair this time around again..
Haha, thanks my man. And that's exactly why I didn't buy the retro. Waaay too much wrong for my liking. Sad thing is, if they had just gotten the toe cap right, I'd have bought them.Peace,J
One of the shoes that changed the game, FAB 5 black socks with the swoosh and some blk/wht force max..... OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGggg
Nike going in with the Barkleys. First the Olympic 180s and now these? I just pray they don't mess them up.
One thing I hated about these was the damn extra long [email protected]% tongue. I hope they got that right this time.
What?! The last retros, the short tongue was the worst part. Made the whole ankle area of the shoe surround your ankle like a loose paper bag. The long tongue balanced out the shape of the shoe and the strap. I really hope these are closer to the OG and 2000 retro than the last pair. Looking forward to getting another pair of these, and I really hope they do the OG white colorway as well.
