    As with others I LOVE OG Stabs.

    However, the retro shape is just atrocious. The banana-bulky-toe just makes them so different, and almost ugly.

    Such a shame. :x

    Toes look def Bulkier than OGs in those pre-2014s (just don't know whether 2014-15s are worse or not), so I may consider copping if decent colorways come out tho.

    I've still got my green safaris from a few years back in decent shape.

    Always found the cut of the tongue uncomfortable.

    Pics from official Nike blog (JP). I've seen worse banana shapes but these were probably the best from a batch.

    That is a dope Cw. Good point about the shape though. I wonder what the problem is. Can't be that hard to see a shape is off or do they just don't care?

    I think this particular pair looks even more bulky because of the paper stuffed in the shoe. Need to see these new releases in hand before I'd buy.

    That infrared colorway has potential, chopped these up of what would make them better, but the shape still kills the whole shoe no matter what you do.

    Love the Air Stabs. Absolutely abused the hell out of my grey pair from I think 07? Ended up customizing them to look like Ronnie Fieg Salmon Toes for my first ever customs. Hope the newer pairs have the same comfort as these do.

    Bro! That custom is so dope! Great work. Anyone have some on feet shots of the current stabs? I'm sad about the shape as well.
