I'm 37 (old timer department as well). I can remember my senior year in high school. Walking in with all my classmates in the gymnasium in the front of the other classes. Everyone looking up to us as seniors. Me wearing the Hyper Blues with some Hilfiger jeans and a yellow Izod polo shirt.. Every one was gazing at them joints on feet. I felt like the man... These bought so much attention because they popped so hard.
At this time in life I was working at a chicken shack making $25 a day under the table. Everyday I'm looking in my Eastbay book counting down the day I had enough to get these. I was the only person in my school with these. So I was pumped to have had these...
Fast forward 14 years the 2013 TN release at Champs sports. I was late getting these and wife surprised me by getting the very last 11.5 they had in store, I was lit. At first I didn't wear them for months. My nostalgia was high for these, still is. So I'm one the the folks that can really appreciate these shoes for what they were.
I also know that Nike never ever duplicate a shoe, remastered or not, to its original form. So I can under stand some of you all saying our expectations are just way too high. It's just bothersome to see one of the nicest air max, with the nicest color blocking I ever seen on any air max done this way.
At this end of the day there just shoes but geeesh Nike your loyalist and supporters want better...
