I ain’t even tryna clown anybody. I literally just went to the first page I saw from release day to get the sentiment of the time and it just happened to be that. No cherrypicking whatsoever. You can go back to those pages too if you want and tell me the ratio of the amount of people calling them abominations vs people hyping them up. I literally saw no hate and people just ecstatic to get their hands on a pair. Seemed like the "Nike Air" was way more important than elephant print at that time. All I'm sayin is MOST people acting like them 2018s are basically "Team Jordans" kinda being extra compared to how they was acting in 2018
Like most, I was excited to finally see Nike Air return back in 2018. What’s wild are the photos Nike originally showed for their stock photo must have been an anomaly pair because the pairs that were released didn’t look quite like it (elephant print height).
I understand that a lot of people who were buying in 2018 didn’t own the original, 94 or 2001 retro. Most people don’t care about accurate specs, shape or materials, they just want to own the shoe.
You have to understand that the group in here who hate the 2018 retro, hated it back in 2018 once we got them in hand. As someone who has owned the original and both the 94 & 01 retro, I was very disappointed. I can admit I didn’t unload them right away or return them. Fortunately I let them sit in my closet and when the Last Dance aired, I was able to get a huge return on them by selling them.
Hopefully the pair that will be releasing will have everyone satisfied because that’s all we want as a consumer of this brand.
