Those shouldn't have (p)leather uppers ?? !?

I was so excited for these until I saw that. Also seems like the color of the toe is Ultramarine instead of Persian Violet.

Welp. Nike probably thought they were solving the flimsy toebox issue lol. No thanks.

Lol afaik it's slightly more noticeable here than on the carmine 6's which are slightly salmon soled. Suede vs Leather is another story. Would still cop the pair tho.

I have a pair of the ultramarine/blue toe from 2008 that I will just have to hold onto if that pleather toe is on the final product. I remember the early pictures before the 2008 release had a couple OG colors with a "rain camo" pattern that was thankfully omitted from the final version. Hoping for another case of samples/early versions vs final product but I'm pessimistic.

Also I've been on NT forever if I can still remember the thread for the first Air Structure retro in 2008

That's too bad if you take into consideration how the shape and details seemed okay.

shape is much better at the first retro, i already noticed that they cut corners at the upcoming second second retro such as shorter and less wide tongue etc etc

You mean the first retro was better on almost any aspect shape-wise? I mean, it might true if you put the flimsy toe aside.

Does somebody know how they will fit? The 2008 Structures are the only Nikes I had to take a half size down. And is there any information if they will have an airunit in the forefoot like the Air Max III's?

these will cost 130 euro, i am pretty sure that for this price these will not have forefoot air
the previous retro probably also didnt have forefoot air
