Nike Air-Max Deluxe Retro ?

[dankenstien88]

This has to be one of my all time favorite shoes. I know I cant be the only one who feels this way

Nike, please re-release this shoe.





IMO this was one of those shoes that looks kinda strange on the wall but great on the feet.

 

[dmxfury]

I always liked the colors of that shoe

 

[dltbakin]

you just got me hip 2 those never heard of them before but I def love those things.......on my way 2 ebay as we speak lls

 

[josednk1068]

Remember going into my Sportszone and copping that cw you posted and the green/grey/black cw for $40 a piece

 

[Magic33]

I wouldn't mind it, but Nike would probably ruin the colorways

 

[rob1ne]

Supa Dope shoe , but i doubt we would get a fair retro , to detailed for todays retro team up at Nike

 

[almostnotready]

All of the colorways of this model were nice..
I wouldnt mind a retro because these are tough to find..

 

[antcyalater]

if they do come out...those are a must have for me...I missed out on all the AM deluxe when they came out in 99-00...any colorway and they're mine...

 

[jbv1]

The OG drop cw was like a metallic bug iridescent green/gold, IIRC... The commercial / print ad campaign was linked to Kenyan runners...

This model & CW have to retro along with the AM98 in the Michigan cw... Do it Nike. Accurately, though.

 

[GMatt23]

I still have my og pair....love this shoe....would def cop if they retro'ed them....

 

[ruxxx]

Always been a fan of this shoe.

 

[antcyalater]

I'm waiting for the AM 98 in the Michigan CW to come out...I'm not gonna hold my breath tho...
I remember walking into Transit in Soho years back when I was a sophomore in Baruch I saw these AM Deluxe-like joints...metallic silver color way, red swoosh, AM 97 air unit...no laces with some strap like thing that held but a tab or bottom...I was a 10.5 trying to squeeze in a 10...those are the Nikes I want to see...sick of seeing 90s and 95s in every imaginable colorway and the re-re-re-re-retro of the AM 90/95 HOA retro...Nike needs to retro some of the unconventional AM's that came out in between the more familiar AM's...

Nice deluxes.
My homie searches ebay weekly for that cw..
I think he actually made an ad in buy/sell forum too..
He will be jelly when he sees this..

Daaamn bring back maaad memories with these shoes. I had these back in 7th grade. My early sneakerhead days lol. Def copping a pair if these were released.

 

[bip roberts]

The blue/oranges and the grey/greens can be found.

I have fond memories of these, most of which are related to a Spring Break episode South Beach back in '99 or '00 or whatever year these came out.. I could mess with a retro, but it's not at the top of my list.

Seems I may have shot myself in the foot with this thread, seeing as I check ebay myself for these on the reg.

   Black/varsity red/cool grey.

I still have a pair of these, although the Air-Sole has popped.

If I remember correctly that colorway was a Foot Action exclusive.



There was also a black/black/silver version with clear soles that was part of a "pack" released exclusively at Finish Line. It was one of the only pairs not to have a "tye dye" upper and was the only Deluxe I remember selling very well. I still have the Tuned Max Tailwinds from the FNL black/clear pack somewhere. The Deluxes from this pack are truly one of my "grails".

 

[GMatt23]

Yup it was a fa exclusive....I remember I was gonna cop the blk/red penny 4's instead of these but they didn't have my size so I ended up gettin the deluxe instead

 

[camenyogrill]

def a different look, but I like. don't remeber these ones actually..

 

[three00zeex]

ive got the blue orange and green black colorways, but theyre both beat!
theres a plush layer of cushioning underneath the insole that makes these easily the most comfortable shoes i own. havent seen that layer on any other shoes 

if they do get retroed, i hope they dont skimp on the quality 

 

[devildog1776]

had these in 12th grade..... most comfy air maxes i ever wore.... id cop just cuz

 

[crowelliowa34]

I had these in middle school Dope these are a must Retro

 

[iball2much]

My all time favorite shoe. Had the black-red-grey back in the day. I now have a FNL exclusive colorway that I hadn't seen before I bought them (used) back in '05. They're beyond beat at this point... but I'll post pictures on here when I get a chance. I like all the colorways except for the solid colors without the designs. Nike needs to retro the og colors and I know they could make some new colors that would be

@AlmostNotReady - Very jelly
@dankenstien88 - I got my pair of the colorway pictured above off of Eastbay back in the day. As for the black/black/silver version you're referring to, I don't particularly care for them. The "tye dye" design is what makes me like the shoes so much. This pair on ebay has been there for a few weeks.. nobodys biting at that price. I would almost consider droppin that much if it was a better colorway.

Mine are falling apart, airbags are soft & heels need a glue-ing...I need every colorway that they re-release. Really regret not buying more with my discount when they were $50 at my finish line.
