It’s like the Olivia Kim pair. I don’t care for the extra swoosh myself.

Nice to see a Mowabb Plus colorway drop, and the retail price come down a bit.

But damn, I forgot how much it just looks like they didn't even try shape-wise in 2015 and of course they went ahead and carried that forward.

EDIT: Just noticed they added a front pull-tab to both, when the Rattans shouldn't have any of them

NOOOOOOO WHAT IN THE HE**!!!!

Toe swoosh, upper looks to be suede, front and back loops, huarache logo, no side ACG panel on medial.

Wtf Nike. Why?!

 

[bmandagod]

Money saved time to unwatch thread lol

 

[kingsin]

Wtf is this?!

Straight disrespect

 

[watermelondeity]

I guess I can cut those tabs off unless somebody is out here doing booties swaps

toe swoosh on the birch ones is random as hell tho

 

[singer10]

I’m disappointed, but not surprised. I mean, they f’n put air pockets on the Air Assaults when they retro’d(I’ll never forgive them for that).

 

[2pacalypsenow]

wow very sus changes

 

[6pac]

When do they drop.... I'll take a pair but I never had the OG's.

 

[carolinakickg]

The pull tabs are absolutely trash

Mannnnn what a disappointment... I'll still get a pair though but I am disappointed.

 

[ShootYourShotTV]

Wtf.. pull tabs and mini swoosh are so outta pocket. Nike dgaf. Highly disappointed but my 2008s are sole separating so these will have to do. I will remove pull tabs and try to unstitch the mini swoosh.

it's funny imagining Nike designing their retros from memory instead of consulting the archive

With the amazing work Nike did on recrafting the air max 90/AM III and huaraches, it makes it even more disappointing what they're pulling with the mowabbs

I was listening to DJ Clark Kent on a podcast, execution/dedication relies on the PLM of a sneaker, pretty much the product manager for a single shoe. Looks like these fell into the hands of the wrong team with no desire to execute original design cues.
I go through the same thing at my work. I’m an industrial designer and not all PLMs I work with favor designers or their consumer; some of them are just looking to cut cost and launch products as fast as they can.

Wait, and the uppers are suede?! Smh.

Sure looks like it.
