Haven't seen this posted yet in the retro forum
i have to say: i like these. I already was a fan of the lunaracer concept, but these are even nicer although i also would have liked a clean mariah retro

*not my pair


whats up with nikes lame attempt in color? I need some fluroescents in my life
 
* flame suit on*

I like the retro version, they look cleaner than the suede.
 
word with the last 2 comments.
the OGs are of course clean, but the retros are nice.
definitely a kick back/summer shoe.
 
^ i also am inclined to say that these are not totally wrong

i like the the lunaracer sole
and, these even could be comfy which woulndt be thecase, if nike retro'ed the original shoe

like wally, i would make a lot stronger the colors; like the og colorways
 
some more OG Mariahs
they started production of the mariahs mid seventies (correct me if i am wrong) and i personally have (had) pairs dated from 1989 up to 1996

first pair

My 96 pair of Mariahs

are the 96s just retros of the 89s? they look so similiar to the 89 pair above. im so new to knowing about the vast history of nike runners...


just a bit of brightness goes a long way:

that does look better wally
besides some minor details, the 89s and 86s are exactly the same

...not sure about the sole though....then again maybe it's just the color.

Might have to cop though, since my 89 pair is unwearable.
 
Not bad... Can't we just get the OG's retroed though? As WallyHopp said: What happened to the fluorescents. Same thing with the 180 retroes. Nike toneddown the colours.
 
I hate alot of hybrids, but these one's get a pass.

Might even cop...

We'll see.
