So yeah basically that confirms my observation at the end of the post about the early 2000s shape. It's as if the Nike designers used the 2008 infrared to reshape the recrafts...makes no sense.
It's not an Air Max 1 OG Retro, it's an Air Max 1 Retro Retro with the OG colorway then...
Anyway, it made me save big bucks in 2016/2017 by not buying any of the CWs Still want my OG Aqua and Royals retros in a true '87 shape though
Someone on selling sites/apps would probably buy for the right price. There’s always goodwill as well.So I've had these for a long time. Actually like the colorway and they're actually quite comfortable, but now that I have the Infrared, when the heck would I ever wear these! Maybe I can give it to one of my kids when they fit into them. Wouldn't be worth anything to sell. Just gotta keep the box stack sizes down....
Nope, literally never. But it keeps my OCD at bay...For those who have multiples of shoes: do you have ever get around to wearing the second or third pair?
They beat me to it below. My biggest gripe is the heel. The OG shape and height is much different than than the ‘17’s. Gives the shoe a much different look.Not doubting you, but curious about which details?
Well they fixed the toebox a little, somehow matched the look/feel of the materials to match the OGs, but there still is structural changes needed IMHO.
As all AM retros, they lack the aggressiveness (this is even more flagrant when you compare the OG BWs vs the 2016 ones) and the skleekness of the OGs - this is corrected with the 90s recrafts.
Major changes to do are:
1. The flat heel should be more curved, seems like nothing but actually changes a lot the look
2. The swoosh shape is too fat, not long enough, and not inclined enough. This adds a lot to the sleek look.
3. The sole is not curved enough. There's a little tilt at the back that fails to replicate the OGs, the front could do better but is ok-ish
4. The mudguard at the toebox is too fat, and the toebox could do better with a slight reshape.
IMO the 2016/17 retros replicate the late 1990s/early 2000s AM1 retro better than the true 1986 OG...look at this (blue version)
cancelled my kids footlocker order for a toddler size since they were backordered. Immedietly bought off ndc. Id rather go direct all day. plus ebates is at `11%
just did a quick live chat on their websiteI'm gonna do the same. How did you cancel?
Just ordered a pair on hibbet in my TTS. Gonna take back my footlocker pair whenever it ships since I can't cancel it.
