OFFICIAL: Air Trainer 1 Mid Premium aka "Chlorophylls"... paging Wallyhop....

[ta2and0]

^ Thought exactly the same thing. I have 2001 whose sole would almost certainly be crumbled like that as soon as I wear them, so, would love to give a try if that’s true.

Foam midsole looks pretty crumbled tho. Angelus can fix that???

You fix it There is still plenty of foam and it does not look too much crumbled. You basically go thick on the glue and wait for drying 20 minutes before assembling. It will hold this mess together. May be temporary and need a bit if cleaning/sanding/white paint on the exterior part to look clean, but cheaper than a sole swap.

Any official word on these? This would be a no hesitation double up if they dropped

 

[wallyhopp]

Y’all motivated me

Alright guys. Throwing my pairs into the ring here

this is separation

(From a 2004 zoom air trainer 1 mid) dual zoom pods ftw. I knew it all along.
They may or may not be wearable even with glue. We shall see. The bottom half of the outsole is flapping away as well. The whole outsole is like 4-5 different pieces.
Now this is separation but even then, the guts have been exposed.
From a 2000 varsity red at1

Ive glued this part over the years. It’s the first to go. That and the outrigger. Once your innards have been exposed to air, there’s no going back. It’s probably not worth a flying at this stage.

All time favorite 2000 at1 Chlorophyll

The suede and leather never let up. Still looking pristin

Full air, just like the og. I wonder if the recent retros are.
Starting stages of crumbling on another 2000 at1

And here’s a at1 low bubbling I saw on my at1 low many years ago. It finally protruded through

Overall it’s just an age thing. I give these shoes 10-16 years tops.

Wally back in his element.

I wish it was for better news. I’m down to maybe a dozen wearable trainers, and 20 sitting in the graveyard.

Pics?!!

Some barge cement can 1000% put those '04 Zoom Trainers back in the game.

 

[da hen]

Zoom Trainer is an all time IMO, ran thru so many pairs

 

[incerokz]

Favorite trainer to me is the Nike DJ Clark Kent 112's! Had a pair in high school they were grails. any chance if buying a used pair nowadays will not crack?

One can't really tell as it depends on shoe, how and where its been worn and stored. Beeing 2008s, 12 years old you might not be able to use them very long but who knows... My 2004 book of one's failed on me maybe 4 years ago, while my 2007 checkerboards tongue chloros are still wearable and foam look compact. One of my 2015s pure platinums that have been soaked wet and stored in humidity (never machine wash them btw!) already start cracking and crumbling, you can dent the foam with your nail on them. So, wear your kicks, but buy at your own risk...

Waiting on Trainer 1 lows, they’ll hold me over for a few!

Any info on upcomin release?

 

[wallyhopp]

damn. Felt all nostalgia on mother's day. Busted these out. Within minutes

I never got to fully turn them into beaters.

I felt confident. They weren't exactly squishy. I had worn these a few times over the last 2-3 years. They got most of their wear 08-16.

Such a no frills dad shoe. Down to zero wearable at1 lows.

I probably posted here when it happened. 2000 cholorphylls failed on me around 2013-2014. So these 2004-2005s likely were expired 2-3 yrs back.

WEAR YOUR SHOES!

 

[incerokz]

Caved in and copped these. Had them in high school and regret getting rid majority of my sneakers. These were ones I had to have back. Soles are solid.

 

[lafos71]

Best of both worlds ...

 

[unseen]

LPU: slept on release, so im happy to have found them. can't go wrong with denim and cord.

Safari's still wearable? Looking at a pair, how well do these hold up

I have a beater pair and another for regular wear. both are fine.

usual roll of the dice though. vnds probably safer than ds.

They are NDS, the guy wants $150

 

[johngotty]

mikey23 truly a roll of the dice but i think they'd be fine. no problems with either of mine. have one more pair that's still ds. gotta wear it really soon or that one could be a potential candidate for a headache.
