if nothing else people will be happy for a sole swap lol
OG soles are phylon so dont pop. Look kinda bad shape but like the others said will pick em up from the racks. Would be great if the other colours drop too....

I cant even explain how surprised I was to see these retroed. Surprise level way over a 10. Like has already been said, it seems like a nitch market release and really a bad business decision on Nike's part. It seems like a purists decision when all their decisions for years have been non purist. I dont get it, but I like it
Edit: Ok Ill say it. The shape on this pair is equal to or better than the originals (in their current state). Its not as flat obviously and Im not saying that if you had a non aged original pair that the og pair wouldnt have a better shape, but now that the originals have aged 20+ years, I prefer the LOOK of the retro over the original. Obviously I will have to see them in person but that is the first time Ive EVER thought such a thing. Definitely a HUGE upgrade over the lunar flow, which I will now not be picking up.

for some unusual reason i actually prefer the lunar flow...maybe it's the hyperfuse paneling, or the mesh used.
maybe i'm just voicing my opinion for the sake of doing so. maybe i'm crazy.

You're such a points whore now, Mike.
The shoe looks good, I've never been a fan of that colourway, but I'll see what else they pull out of the bag...
