whats up fersnash. love the mich at1s.
Youre right.. this new model has a few different features.. synthetic upper is a no go compared to the 04s. zoom air in the heel and forefoot in the 04s... Here its strictly free phylon forefoot and max air in the back..plusher softer leathers on the 04s. Its hard to look back, but the zt1 04 is definetly getting the shaft out of all of this.. im not turning my back on it though.. its almost a marketing gimmick shoe if you think. about it. its almost a de-evolution.. the real legacy pack lies a few years back with the zoom trainer 1, at1 low ft, zoom haven, and at1 low.. it wasnt sold and marketed as such , so i guess it got a bad rap.. the uppers on the 04 zt1 has so soft and the outsole grooves so precise, noone dare wear it outside.. these I wont see a problem with.. its a lie to say these are a rebirth model as they almost perform more as a sparq "drill training for a specific sport" rather than what the original and zt1 04 accomplished in an all around gym shoe. I just had to get beyond the labeling and understand them from a diff. pov
