The AM2011 is pretty dope, actually. I saw the samples last month and it did no justice to the early catalog pics.
No, I agree. I never said it was ugly. It's nice - and that Blk/Volt pic makes 'em look really great - but the design is kinda underwhelming. Maybe i'm not a fan of the Fuse on the upper but it didn't look super great on my feet. I'm fortunate enough to have a friend out at Nike who sends me sz. 10 running samples and maybe I was expecting too much, but I wasn't a big fan when I saw them (the white upper with varsity royal bottom).
But he showed me something during iChat of some random samples that probably won't ever release and I was blown away at an "Air Max Glide+ 2" sample...looks something like this (a quick photoshop):
Pretty much a LunarGlide+ 2 upper with 360 Air. I've been Lunar crazy so perhaps i'm biased to the sleeker, form-fitting look, but like I was with the AM2010, my reaction to the 2011 was "ehh".
