The 2005 forest green pair seemed very similar to the original colorway. The material was a very soft napless synthetic material. Mesh toebox.. Truly no complaints at all.
Something to consider.
Many of Nike's recent "performance" shoes have not featured any forefoot air either, so even if these feature solely heel air, they would be on pair with many of the performance shoes. So they should remain a somewhat viable option as a mid cut/high cut cross trainer.
I swear I saw some photos of a forest green sample months back but i can't retrace my steps to find them.. Ebay seems like a good option. For years now, you could buy below $60. Why these are rereleased??? No idea
