damn if only we got the one from that photoshop instead, I’ll be on board. I dont really mind the swoosh at all. If the toebox was slanted like it suppose to, this will be perfect. Even the damn EP is lower for these

Can you imagine the debate at Nike back in the day when they were deciding whether or not to take off the swoosh. That was the first Nike shoe with now swoosh on the side. Wonder if it was ultimately an MJ decision or Tinker; I expect Nike would have wanted it on as Nike branding was just building up at that point.
Would like to see these in hand; kind of liking the stylized swoosh. Wonder if these will even be possible to get. I'm defintely a fan of OG in general, however, I do appreciate some new changes.

We all doOh crap...completely forgot about the 2s!
. YepWe all do
I think these are FIRE with the swoosh to be totally honest. I think the big problem here is the color blocking more so than the swoosh.
I feel like in a perfect world they would go with a more traditional White Cement, Black Cement, or Fire Red color blocking, but they added more black and such to differentiate it from those color 3s. They would've been dope, but they would just be one of those aforementioned 3s but with a swoosh. I like the different color blocking.I think Tinker would have done a more subtle color blocking too, something like this...making the elephant print lighter and adding back the red color pops to balance out the shoe as there's just too much black currently imo.
Agree the red back tab looks great. Would have looked better with a few more red hits like mentioned above.There are certain things that draw my attention on a shoe. The fire red 'Nike Air' back tab is it. I don't know what it is but I am drawn to it. Similar to the black tongue on the fire red 5's.

JB needs to stop playing and retro of the black tongue (or grape) 5s with Nike Air. I’m guessing we’ll get another retro of the 3M tongue version first though...
I dig them, was wondering about how the finished product would've looked since I first saw the sketch years ago. The thing I'm worried about is Nike/JB making these go the Air Max Zero way and not keeping them a 'one-off' but instead going on with them for years with different CWs
