While You Wait for the Return of the Nike Flyknit Trainer

Something to make you miss this OG Flyknit design.

The Nike Flyknit Trainer is gone for now, and the model unfortunately hasn't seen a release since the latter half of 2013.

The sneaker made its debut before it was standard for Nike Flyknit pairs from the performance side of things to land on NIKEiD, which means that people had to abide by whatever colorways the Nike team brought to retail. MD177 on NT has access to even more than that though–he's been tracking down unreleased sample versions of the shoe since its release. His impressive horde consists of the six pairs below, which are more colorful than the majority of the retail releases that showed up for this shoe.

Hopefully Nike decides to bring the Flyknit Trainer out of hibernation soon–until then readers will just have to ogle these sample pairs.
