I think these were posted in the normal Nike section since it's not really a retro of anything. The midsole is of course off one of the Bo Jackson's. But other than that, it's all "new". Most people at that time just kind of brushed these off and forgot about them.
Something seems off and I just can't pinpoint it.
NDC has an all black and grey "raider" colorway coming out real soon.
Every place seems to have the white/red/black colorway.. These will just drop to below 60% off retail at some point I'd imagine.
This one is coming out real soon too.

As always, I wonder what the quality amounts to on these, more specifically the white red black pair.
Sometimes I'd just rather wear beaters who are yellowed and junky looking than shoes that aren't of a decent quality. Even if they do drop to $30, that's $30 bucks I can keep for something else, and continue to wear broken down shoes... These are an impulse buyers nightmare. Call me a stubborn mule, but these look a bit variant looking, so when it comes to wearing Bo's, it's either some beaters or nothing. I see no room for these. Others will be less strict about what they wear and I can understand/respect that.
greenrhino, I think Nike does whatever it wants at any given time, with no method to their madness. They actually had some great templates for cross trainers not yet retroed, but they decided to get a bit lazy, keep the midsole mold that costs them nothing, and just re invent the upper a bit. It comes off lazy in my eyes... Even that womens Trainer Escape a few years back had this same midsole... Unless they actually want to start creating a new outsole and midsole for true to form retros, I don't see any proper evolution here.
It doesn't help retail on a mid/low is set at $105. The auburns and "lightnings" sc trainers were also set at $105 and are much higher.. Lows or mids like this should be priced at $90-100. We'll see that eventually I would imagine as prices drop.
They need to stop messing around and re release a SC trainer low
Release in some bright #*$ colors, and you're set
There was a women's og colorway in this bright pink color. It just craps all over everything we've seen since then
If you're sticking with a white base, go with less accents color, and just overall brighter. Imagine the above in a bright infrared, orange, green, or blue..
Potential is definitely there

edit: what seems off on these is what appears to be a less than normal boxy toebox. It's actually quite sleek. I guess when it's a brand new model, they can get things right without having anything to reference. I'll actually have to give them credit for that
