is that the pair that was on ebay a few days ago, and sold for a nice price?
They look great!!!
a little bit worn, but a damn good vintage look


here is the matching shirt i have

 

[ogfiend]

I would not mind some wearable techs...good stuff!

 

[trethousandgt]

Hi yes ka those are them, they actually look better in person, that shirt looks good, midsole is as solid and full of air as the retro's, I've had thesame pair, as well as an og set of lava's in better condition that were wearable as well, its surprising a lot of OG tech ii's that I've owned werewearable, not sure why. I thought about trying to clean up the midsoles some how but we all know those poly midsoles are a pain to clean so id rather justleave it alone, the uppers are good to go

question for the vintage heads, what was the exact name of thesE?
can anyone decipher the tag as to which year it was made?
definitely not wearable, as the bubble is very cloudy and midsole is soft. toe says durathane i think

[size 15 please]

I love the eye candy in here...

Its extreamly hard for me to obtain something vintage in my size

I wouldn't feel right buying something that's not my size even if I couldn't wear it

Well maybe baby kicks for the future

Production date should be May 1992... as for the name, I dunno. What I do know is that its a take-down, low-cut version of the Air Challenge Huarache, withoutthe huarache of course. Durathane was the rubber-compound of choice for Nike Tennis shoes back in the 90's. OG Air Tech Challenge II's and III's(among others) also had Durathane outsoles. Sorry, but thats all I got.

Karl, do think these would be wearable? A shop near me has a pair & I'm thinking of getting 'em ...I love the colorway on these!

Nice pair(s) you've got there too Corporal Nobbs

Dope OG IIs ....& love seeing all these OG Reeboks too!

~Lefty

those are Air Challenge Pro III low from ´92.

 

[pinoypi]

damn this is a nice thread. I just went thru the whole thing lol

 

[guillermo gutierez]

i JUST now discovered this thread, this has to be the best thread on NT. sooo many memories.

 

[bubbaela1]

great stuff as usual from this thread.

 

[briannnnn]

Some original-release AM97s. These are far more comfortable than the retros.

 

[tommy gibbs]

I've been waiting for those kicks since 1998. I went to buy those in that color, an dinstead bought the Air Max 95 in white comet red, cause it justcame out and had been waiting on the '95s for 3 years. But I've been waiting for those '97 Air Max in the blue/voltage since then. You are alucky man

 

[bubbaela1]

great shoes briannnnn, my only prob with OG 97s is the midsole completely takes a turn after the years. But the 97 was a standout shoe.

 

[thunderchunk69]

wore them all day today

If I feel the need to maybe I'll paint the midsoles over in a few wears
edit: wore them all day today too
