The right one's quiet, just as the IUM. Dunno man, guess I have a funny walk!

Is that Air unit that cloudy or is it just me? Looks different from the UM's! They're absolutely gorgeous by the way, I wasn't planning on picking these up, but now I'm not so sure....

In for a pair. Sold them last drop cuz they’re getting up there. Hoping they’d give us more OGs

Quick little comparison, they are definitely more white!
And by the way, the 'Nike Air' on the back is now done in the OG color gold
instead of previous retro purple

I really hope that’s lighting or something. It’d be a dumb change to make the unit not transparent

My guess is it's 'whited' out in the same way the Cactus is 'blacked' out, that's what it looks like to me anyway.

The lighting looks different idk. But yeah you maybe right. I’m still in. Not like the reg unit won’t be clouded after a few years anyways

Were the air units rock hard in the OGs? I never owned a pair back in the day and I find it interesting these have no "give" when you push on them like other air units in other models.

Yes, they were as hard as the retro's so we've been told. I owned a pair back in the day but personally can't remember.

It's an interesting feel b/c while the side wall support is rock hard, I can feel the unit compressing when I walk and they feel very similar to the Red BB 1s. I like to see the compression (in the mirror), but really, these wear very comfortable for me, and since this is an OG feature, I'm good.

Yes, I agree, they're much more comfortable than one would think at first thought! I would even say they are more comfortable than my AM1 BB's. Also, they're very 'plush' feeling on the inside, just the fabric and such that gives you a really soft feeling.

It was a different kind of hardness on the OGs, but yeah, they definitely didn't have much give to them.

Here you go
FAKE 180s:

Yes they use NDC stock pics but not in a million years you will receive a legit pair, if you receive anything at all.

Until you show us actual pictures of fakes, I'm not convinced. The site you posted probably just steals your money rather than then sending actual fake 180s.

Yeah no pics so far, but I have no doubts at all they already out there.
Believe me, they make fakes of anything.
