another pic request, nikes from 99-00, multiple c/w with color gradient from front to back

[ef3]

ok this particular shoe was another of my favorites because of all the colorways they came out with.. i was a freshman in hs and they came out in 99-2000

i think there may have been some solid colors, but for the most part the shoe would change colors. starting at the front of the shoe and would gradually change into another color at the back of the shoe.

anyone ?

cant remember the name of the shoe for the life of me

 

[ruxxx]

Is it possible to give a little bit more detail?

 

[ef3]

ok it was released in 1999- 2000 time period
white midsole, 2-3 inch thin air bubble in the back
right above the midsole in the back of the shoe, was also white with a sort of ridge pattern
except at the top where the color pattern tailed off
the front of the shoe was one color and would usually fade into a darker or lighter hue of the same color

one pair started as either a light or dark blue and gradually faded into its opposite
as the entire pattern of the color tailed off and was very thin at the back of the shoe like i described

another started as a dark green color and faded into black, it had a red nike swoosh at the side

the swoosh on the side of the shoe was small and was plastic or rubber and also had the bezeled effect like the small jewel swooshes on the air force ones

thats as about as descriptive as i can recall, i cant do even a crude paint impression like i did for the griffeys i asked about in another post.. sorry lol

Air Max Plus?

But I don't remember there being an original green colorway?  But the blue fading to another blue might be these:

Or these?

There were some releases that featured a vertical gradient, where the back of the shoe was different from the front.  I don't have pictures available of that, though.

First thought was the plus, but what was the name of that gradient tuned air shoe?

I think it was called the Air Turbulence. I actually had the obsidian/green gradient pair w/ the red swoosh.
They came w/ arch supports, right? And they had stitching across the side in sort of a "laminar flow" pattern
like you would see in a wind tunnel.
I remember there was also a pair w/ a white/purple or navy gradient.
I tried looking for pics, but can't find any. Hopefully someone can find some, because I want to see them too.

^^^ That is what I thought of too. Weren't they a FL exclusive when they first came out? I remember getting the flier in the mail for the release from one of the stores. And I just spent 10 minutes looking for pics, and found NONE.

im pretty sure youre on to the right one..

none of the pictures listed are it.. i am very familiar with the air max plus tn and although those did have a couple color ways that faded they arent the ones im refferring too..

these particular pair only had one air bubble  on both sides of the shoe.. it did not go all the way around the back of the shoe.

and yes there was like a contoured pattern on the uppers, and air turbulence sounds right on, i remembered the name beginning with a t... for years the only name that came to mind was the tailwinds but i know what those look like and is not the shoe im talking about either...

 

[ef3]

yea i also cant find any pictures... this sucks.. well at least i know the name of the shoe now

I was persistent. This isn't one of the gradient colors, but this is the shoe that I was referring to. Hopefully it's the right one:

EDIT:
Here's a grainy picture of the gradient ones:
