(spring-summer 05 part 2)
Back in September we first peeped at the Nike Air Zoom Trainer Mid as part of Nike Rebirth/Restoration. It was the birth of a new trainer. For Spring/Summer 05, we will see the Nike Air Zoom Trainer First Take, the truest execution according to Tinker Hatfield's original sketches.
I've been on a bit of a hunt for grey/yellow shoes. With the recent Jordan 4 cool grey and yellow accents, my lust for grey/yellow has increased. This is the most recent grey yellow combination to my beaters rotation. I guess next up will the grey/yellow Air Trainer Max 91 that dropped recently. This pair of the Air Classic BW is straight off ebay at a pretty sweet price.
LOBT is a customizer from Singapore. LOBT was perhaps the first to do customized snakeskin on a shoe. The customs from LOBT has an old school effect to them. Paint or knife to the shoes are minimal and well chosen. There's a elegance to the colors and choice of patterns to his customs. It's the elegance of early-day Nike decisions colors or prints to their sneakers.
The Air 180 is perhaps one of the most anticipated runners to be retroed. Since its introduction in the 90's, the 180 has disappeared. There are rumors of all kind on why it disappeared. We won't discuss any of this as we do not have the truth to the stories. This pictured colorway was recently reintroduced as a quickstrike with many colorways to come. A special Nike iD of the 180 is up for a limited time and limited release of 20 pairs a day available to be iD-ed.
