The BRoys look great but I dont think you could play ball in em tho, even shooting around they may not have enough ankle support.

For some reason, I think I'd like them better if they either had a larger airbag or was just encapsulated zoom air in the heel and forefront. It seems toosmall and out of place.

I actually doubt I will buy these now... Having second thoughts about them.

i second this.....too bad there is a slim chance that this would be released.

I think I might hold off on a second pair of am2009's and pick up a pair of these instead.

Kinda remind me of the Kobe 4s. Wonder if Kobe use these, coulda sworn I saw a LAL cw on the first page. How about a "Kobe Knows" tee too??

I think this shoe will far way short of the Zoom Trainer that came out a few years ago. I own 4-5 pairs of this shoe, its amazing but wasnt backed up with themarketing campaign of this new sneaker. Even the retro Zoom Tennis trainer is awesome.

Zoom Air will always top Max Air.

hype will sell this shoe, not performance.

The Bo Knows and Broy colorways are absolutely bananas! Are there any reviews out for these yet? From the looks of the shoe on feet it looks like the toe boxmay be a little bit too roomy.

 

[djsupernova]

the manny joints look like the best to me.... i like the design on these kicks...

Some notable photos:

nice look at what could be the marquee c/w

-i love the basic whites with black grey camo midsole:

good look at Clay's white/grey/car. blue:

who's RO11? is that white red blue?

A quote from a various blog:

6: The new Air Trainers remind me of Nike Free. But you could wear these longer without your feet getting tired. Normally I don't dig on mid-top style so much, and that's what we tested, but Nike will also be coming out with low-top versions. A short guy (5'11") with big feet (45 metric) has to be careful about wearing shoes that are too clunky. I need shoes that do for my feet what pinstripes did for Babe Ruth.

[gberdin]

[trilbiejenna]

nice

 

[acccord]

I need a pair of these ...

 

[wallyhopp]

Spotted these on that auction site:

Description states that it is a limited edition numbered run of just 18, with this pair numbered 4 of 18, made for "%*@++" Sporting Goods made incelebration of one store on a nike shop remodel.

Only thing limited to me looks like the tongue and tongue design, which is 5 shades too green compared to the volt accents on the upper of the shoe.. if thatsa true collab, that is so half hazardly done, its just sad really.

some photos we've seen:

-WHITE tongue material which is different than this release.

from a screncap, we see the basic NIKE on the tongue, which also appears on every other trainer c/w... so im guessing this one is one that the general publicwill see:

im left wondering what the heck we'll be getting... All these darn limited PEs have a sour taste in my mouth. what am i left with?

 

[andfattoo]

Cant wait to see these in person.

 

[bluprynt78]

I will OD on these!!!

 

[ogmx23]

Chicago bears cw nuff said

 

[bimbot]

Coachin Pop Warner this winter. Can't think of a better reason to cop these (other than me likin' em)

 

[wallyhopp]

Another limited pair c/w showing up on that auction site.. supposedly made for a dickks sporting goods shop.

We're just a month away and still no word on what colorways will be sold to the general public.. I'll keep ya'll updated when I can.

i was at this summit on behalf of slamxhype. as far as i know, this will be the first colorway available. these were given out to all members of the media. igot the troy polamalu pair though

i wear a sample size 9, but mine fitsmall

they showed some truly amazing things that we were not allowed to photograph, but you will most definitely be hearing more about it when the time is right.also, the chlorophyll colorway will show up down the road in a special pack, but i am not sure what the availability is.
