Quick first impressions: I've been telling some other guys. You take the good with the bad here.
-Trainer Max 2 '94: The white/blue.black colorway is interesting. It's not a OG colorway persay. But if you look at the catalogs for that era, there is a model titled "Alpha Trainer", which was basically a second or third tier branch off of the signature trainer max 2. So it's a bit of a nice surprise to see an era like colorway appear on a shoe that's very similar. +1 for Nike in that regard. Where they lose out, Throwing in the black out shoes is just so tacky. And then your thoughtless white grey orange pair. I think a trained monkey picked out the color placement.
- Trainer SC II: You get an original colorway SC II, But it's likely the 3rd, 4th, or even 5th most wanted in the White Grey Black model. "INFRAREDS OR NOTHING!", Some would say. Then the tease factor comes with the total orange colorway on the far right. You get all the orange accent elements right, and then you throw in an almost black toebox
-Field Trainer has a late 70s or early 80s vibe. Not real sure if that's a retro of an original. Looks to be a soccer casual lowtop. White grey black colorway isn't too bad
- Jr: We've known about the summer release since about September, so this other colorway is a nice surprise. Black with freshwater accents. You can't beat that
-Trainer Max: This one dates back to 1996-1997. Some call it the bulldog pair, if im not mistaken. OG colorways included White/black/neon, white/navy blue/red. and white/navy/canyon yellow. It appears this is the first retro of this model. Although it seems like a few LS colorways were created just a short while ago, this could be because they sat on ebay for 8 years. I'm a bit surprised by this. You could get some FSRs for below retail. White/grey/neon is a nice twist on the original colorway. and the other color is an OG colorway.
-Griffey Max II: I'm not sure if this one is inspired by this original colorway or not.. It seems way off, and way too generic.. Long live the OG

Overall, Satisfactory effort here. The accoumulation of colorways that mean nothing, do nothing but saturate the market with crap. I find that unacceptable.
