they don't know 'bout DEM BURSTS brotha 'Drew....
1995-1996:
1998:
Beyond:
Nike's already tried and failed a few times with retroing these after doing away with fat bubbles. it's pointless to even hope that the style of fat bubbles will ever return. it's not happening. this shoe has had its day and it will never be done well again. luckily, there are many, many good pairs out there from 2004 and earlier, and most are still wearable. AirBurst222 and I both have pairs from '95/'96 that we wear. this is a classic and unique sneaker, hate it or love it.
and btw, personally, I'm not a fan of the patent pairs. out of all the pairs they ever made, those are some of the pairs I never cared to own. that said, there are still several pairs out there I do wish I owned, but my collecting has pretty much tailed off at this point.
easily my favorite pair ever:

man I appreciate all those pics.
I had a pair of of what I think were bursts in like 94 or five that had the same color blocking as those forest green/white but they were black and white. I loved them and used to kill it with those.(sometimes my memory seems hazy and can't remember if they were burst or phoenix). But after that I always bought burst and 95's
.
I have that cinder/beige CW up ther but also had a cinder with the black midsole. Easily my favorite pair ever to rock with my brown champion hoody.

These are one of my favorite Nikes ever. Had the Grey/Red pair back in the day and rocked them on the regular. Would definitely go in for multiple pairs if the simple color ways were brought back.
