The hang tangs on the 14's were awful anyway. Plus, who is actually going to wear the shoes with it on anyway? The new hang tags are cheap and thin unlike the g go hang tags.

The hang tags are the same as the OG ones. The thicker rubber encased ones didn't come out until later.

The og's were always referred to as the "tarts". I can't remember what the description was on the box though.

Not my pairs. I never had a thin hang tag like that back in the day.

Actually, I wasn't sure cuz I don't have a pic of the OG box or catalog. Â Just going by this apparel catalog pic.
Maybe Tre can find out for us?
Just to satisfy my curiosity...Â

not true
my original pair of nike air tech challenge ii's that i purchased in 1990 came with the 'jumbo' or thicker nike air hang tag
View media item 869056
the tag you see in the pic is the actual original tag that came with the shoes...
...now...i have noticed (on the atscii for instance) that nike gave a different tag to the high & the low (thin for one, jumbo for the other)
(some models like the aj4 i've seen with both tags depending on production date i believe)
but i believe with the original atcii - both the high & the low came with the jumbo tag...
Finally tho - the thin tag came first, not the jumbo - the thin tags came with 1987 models like the air max & air trainer as well as 1988 models like the air jordan 3
so these atcii retros should have come with the jumbo tags not the thin
but nike started messin it up on other retro models years ago

if you copped a pair of 88 wc 3's - they incorrectly came with the jumbo tag as these atcii's came incorrectly with the thin tag
you could switch the tags out & they'd be true to original
welcome

@green rhino123 Â That's awesome that you still have your original pair. Definitely makes me wish I had kept some of mine from that era. Thanks for the knowledge about the tags; I just remember being fascinated by the Nike Air hang tags as a kid, especially the jumbo ones. I remember thinking that I needed to get some sneakers with the thick hang tag since that must have meant they were the top of the line. Most of the time it was a pipe dream because of the prices until I got a bit older.

this was me as well, I remember looking enviously at my brothers hang tags while I was still wearing GS sizes.
What also really upset me was ordering a pair of retro 3 88's from NDC and they were missing the hang tag!
View media item 869115I recently picked up the lava's from UI for below uk retail which was nice. I really want the Aussie opens, but I can't find at a price I'm willing to pay

I'm saying that back then they were referred to as the "tarts" by sneakerheads and tennis players. I'm sure Nike didn't label them as such.
