I think i'll hold off on the 2011 trainer's, unless I find them for under retail.

honestly, these '11a do somewhat pale in comparison to those '01s i recently sold. ONLY reason i sold em is because they were a 9.5 and i need a 10 for it to fit comfy. otherwise there's no way i'da ever sold em. in fact, had these not been re-releasing, i'da just dealt with it.

This is all a part of Nike's brandishing and brainwashing. We got so used to the 2001 synthetic suede and nubuck that when REAL soft stuff 95% similar to the originals come out, people want what they were used to. I kind of fear what would happen if a air trainer 1 chlorophyll released with real suede and leather. The past 3 releases have been synthetics.
It's weird though, the other 2011 colorways specically the black.grey.blue accented shoe seems to have the 2001 era synthetic materials all over the upper. It seems like they really went out of their way to try and get it right this time.

So Wally, you tellin me that the 2011 mimics the OG in materials/color better then the 2001? I didn't dig too deep in this thread (stopped when people talked about getting these for $80) would you mind reupping/bumping a picture if you have one?
But I guess I'm guilty of appreciating the 2001 pair, as I was in my teens when they came out, and remember finding them at the outlets for a really good price. I can totally see what you're talking about when you reference classic trainers + proper color blocking, but you gotta admint, material aside, the dark grey looks good with the black!
my head is going to explode with this release....arghhhhhh
