That's why I love NT. Members helping others out, reciprocating the love.

Second pair locked. Thanks.

There is actual conflict among people who think air is there and others that dont feel it. It's just a highly questionable grey area for Nike, imho). The same looks to be occurring here possibly. The OGs had full length air. The description now on eastbay states these have heel only air.

Am I missing something? The catalog scan of these mention them to have heel air and ZOOM AIR in the forefoot..

Which is a very good deal. It would be among one of the better cushioned cross trainers new or old to be released. With that price point of $100, $25 dollars cheaper than the originals, I have to question what we might be getting as a final product.

Without having actual visible air like griffeys or nomo retros, we tend not to really know what we are getting... Anyone who owned the 2001 retros, could you feel the air throughout the entire midsole?

My contact checked directly with Nike and they said there is no additional cushioning in the forefoot besides the CMEVA midsole.

Thanks bro, now I relax and wait on my pair to arrive.
  

 

[thefoamcollector]

yea, IMO they are true to sz. Dont worry about it too much bro

Can someone care to elaborate on the quality/cushioning that is CMEVA?

I did some googlaging but only found answers to the acronym... not a synopsis
of the material itself.

What are the benefits? Downsides?

Just curious - i'm assuming it may be better because there's no air to pop or
zoom to bottom out.

Right?

Do a NT search for CMEVA. Decent discusssion talking about what it is and how it compares to other stuff. Lots of other brands tend to use it too. It doesn't appear to be used in the upper echelon Nike shoes. I believe it's just a fancy term for "foam". They went straight foam on us.

I think you have your last statement reversed. I would rather have anything with air plus the surrounding foam, than just FOAM alone. It's a dual system where if the air begins to bottom out, you still have foam. Or if the foam around the air feels bad, you still have the airbags. It's common knowledge that in the late 80s and early to mid 90s you had signature shoes, much like these trainer huaraches were, that had full length encapsulated air. Just air all over. Now a days you are basically getting a second or third tier nike cushioning product out of this $100 retro. Even performance shoes by Nike are lacking in forefoot air or full length air. They tell us that it's so the midsole can be more flexible but really, they are just being extremely cheap.. We are getting what would be a $80 dollar 3rd tier product in 1992, passed on to us as a "lifestyle" sportswear release for $100. If I can, i'm waiting out until they drop to at least $70 bucks

 

[ninjahood]

not a fan of that furry material..i know its OG inspired but that gonna be a pain in da %$+ to clean..imma just lamp with my 2001 pair.

 

[binye]

Are the straps really tight on these? I've never owned a pair of Air Trainer Huarache's, but I've got the Zoom Huarache TR Mids and the strap is tight on them.

The strap on the recent Diamond Turf retro is perfect IMO. I could make them really tight or wear them looser without the velcro underneath being exposed or the strap looking way out of alignment.
