Need Help!! Info on Nike Air Burst

[ksprull]

Any info on these shoes in general? technology, fit, opinions, comfort? Anyone know the release info on this particular colorway?

These aren't a Burst, they the Air Max Phoenix.  Took obvious cues from the Burst for the uppers, but midsole and bubble is entirely different.

No idea as far as comfort, fit, or anything else.  Never had a pair of these in hand.

Yeah their very similar to the burst but the burst look better. As for the burst it's a good shoe, it's a classic. However, the problem today is that the air bubble's are nowhere near as big as the OG's or earlier retro's. That was the whole purpose of the name "burst" because the air bubble was "bursting" with air. But they are a comfortable shoe but I won't buy another pair because of the small air bubbles.

^^^ like larivee said, those are the air max phoenix, not the burst

you asked about the burst, so here goes. Tech is heel max air, no forefoot (please correct if I am wrong!), they fit about a half size small, pretty comfortable. This is based off my 01's and Mavi pack joints I still have. the newer retro's (obviously) have the smaller bubble, use a different type of mesh. Haven't seen any really desireable colors in the newst retro's, but they can be had on ebay for <$75

also check out the huarache bursts, they usually go for cheap, and beside the jpacks, have that good big air bubble, and you can find some pretty nice colorways anywhere from 70-150

*edit if i could find those AD21 joints in a 15....
