of course...old pic though, i restored the pair in the front and the paint is peeling but no cracks. 2nd is still a solid 8/10 and the 3rd is DS

GOOD GOD!!!

Question. You said you restored them.. where the midsoles damaged? I have a blue pair with chunks of the midsole missing and I'm wondering is there ANY waypossible to slavage them so I can get atleast one more wear out of them?

 

[pr0phecy718]

i'm undecided at the moment now because of the air bubble on theback

no retro for this colorway?

Thinking caps on......if they released the shoe pictured above it wouldn't exactly be considered a retro.

so that's a no?

His point is that they wouldn't be considered a "retro" cuz they were never released to the public. Its a Griffey PE... but to answer yourquestion, no, there hasn't been an info that that colorway will be released. Its only the black/white and royal/white thus far.

QMfT!!

It would require a massive movement for Nike reconsider and I think we all know its not gonna happen. At the end of the day, Nike will just retro them and have a 'take it or leave' it attitude.

Agreed. I felt this way about the Air Pippen Retro. The air bubble was sooooo much more smaller but it was a must cop; I had been waiting for aRetro for years.

People shouldn't be shocked. Look at all the Air Max runner retros....EVERY one is smaller.

WRONG!! i had the royals and black teal colorway when they released (graduated high school in '97). would i rather the OG bubbles?? of course! will thesmaller bubbles stop me from copping the retros?? absolutely NOT! this is possibly my favorite non jordan shoe evar!! nothing will get in my way!! not evensmaller air bubbles.

ps. everyone needs to just get over it. smaller air bubbles is what it is now and complaining won't change it.

I'm 25 (I was 12 when they released), and could care less about the size of the air bubbles. I think it's good that they're decreasing thesize. As long as we get the actual shoe, I'm good money.

 

[kyrac2]

gonna have to cop

[L7oser]

couple more pics 2 drool/hate over

2 bad i only wear O's hats

 

[brooklynzoo06]

they could almost have just left the air bubble out completely.

 

[mayhemgatz]

as bad as that bubble looks in that midsole....im copping off the strength of this model. i just hope that if they do the griffey max 2....they at least usethe same bubble as the penny 2 retro....i can deal with that!

 

[ogfiend]

^ Haha Word. And you drones would still buy this "retro".

 

[jfresh001]

its iight.

 

[kingjay718]

@ pr0phecy? Maybe we can have some group action?

 

[othelloxtwon]

awww man...the air bubbles......sigh...well we aint gonna really be able to tell till in comes into production i guess???

but if that's what it's gonna be

 

[maicolkickhead]

this look great with jeans
the size of the air bubble doesnt bother me a bit
copping both pairs 4 sureeeee

 

[dj making pace]

Not a big deal, I'll cop for sure. I guess I'm a drone.

i was just thinking. the air max 360 has a rather large air bubble but it has that cage and im sure there are more complexities that would make the midsolechange to accomidate the 360 bubbles. would you guys rather have a slightly different midsole and larger bubbles than what we're currently getting? its abattle of give and take.

 

[kickjunkee]

Good grief - 9 pages about the air bubble???????

Like you fools expected a huge unit or something?? Its not like the end of the world is it?

If so, I should freak out with you guys then. . . .

Put the shoe on and rock it. . whos gonna look at the air bubble and actually care???

lmao

Im buying 2 pairs for sure!
