Air Max Force (Michigan Fab Five)

What's everyone's thought on the re-retro of these? Of course you know they're not like the 2000 release, but I will cop my two for sure. Anyone else?

ogs had that?


yeah...the three holes that on on the toe box had the metal mesh that's found on the strap. i think that was the only difference on the shoe besides the product/size tag. you know it's funny, the more and more i look at the re-retro, i can kind of see a slight difference in the midsole too...maybe it's just me.

Man I'm brokr now. A month ago it was a 61" DLP Samsung 1080p YV. Sd t myself that would be my Christmas present, then the dam fire-red V's came out, swooped a couple of those. And then I find out the Fabs cam out. Oh yeah you know, I had to get a couple of these also.

This is the best shoe to ball in for me. The tox box is wide which fits me right. These are one of the only pair of shoes that will hold my McDavid ankle brace nicely without so much bulk. Now my collection is complete. Got the blk, the wht/blk, wht/blk/purple, and the brn durabuck. Thank you nike for these black ones. I needed em in my life
 
Can someone please post the product and color code? I jst looked through the thread but didn't find it (unless its the same as the Eastbay product code. Thanks!

I finally got shipping confirmation from Finishline 6 days after ordering. I was sweating it out. These shoes are sick. Maybe Michigan will wear these this year.
 
airmissionretro, you forgot the Air Unlimiteds for 1994-95.

finishline.com is pissing me off too.....ordered almost a week ago and no shipment confirmation yet. i'm about to cancel.

"The expectation we have for Air Jordans is for
the MICHAEL JORDAN of basketball shoes.
Lately we've been getting the Derrick Coleman of basketball shoes:
bloated, overhyped, overpaid, and underwhelming."

Picked mine up last night. Instantly thought back to 1993 when I put them on. Had to also buy some quarter black socks with white swoosh for the look. I plan to play in these Thursday night simply for nostalgia sake. They feel like a flashback to Nike glory days. Perfect for old-heads.
 
For those of you who ordered from finishline.com, I placed my order last Wed. night and did not receive a shipping confirmation email, but I called yesterday and my pair did ship on Sunday and they should be arriving today. You should just call their 800 number and ask them. Good luck.

^ Exactly!

Man I wish those would drop I remeber the greyish-blue ones that J.Howard wore....and David Robinson wore that year to on him MVP run.

Those and the zoom flight 95's are my top 2 I want retro'd
 
^^^^ Nice pickups Flint...

Unless Santa Claus comes down our chimmy-chim-chim on Christmas Eve with a bag full of money, I probably won't be copping those Air Force Maxes.

I'm just hoping these and the Penny I's will hit the sales rack after the madness. Those are two classic shoes IMO.

Bought too many of these with the FNL discount and have been wearing a pair for over a week.

As for the whole Michigan basketball discussion, I am happy to have my 3rd generation of these kicks and wish I could get a 3rd generation pair of the white/purple colorway.

Also I always enjoy seeing highlights of numerous games I attended at Crisler and Breslin.
