Nike Air More Uptempo Holiday ‘10

[eugenile gts]

You can totally sense the generation gap in this thread.

All the young bucks who probably could care less about shoes during the era when these come out, make it evident now.

All us old folks always speak of nostalgia.

I still have the OG olympic ones, all beat up hah.

I bought the retro of these black ones a few years back, it definitely was not the same as the OG black ones. Those were so much better. I didnt hesitate at the time though as I felt this was our only chance to own them again.

Man I loved my OGs.  It was nice cuz back then I remember buying the black ones and beating them to death playing ball on the blacktop all summer then you just go to the shoe store in the fall and buy another pair of the same ones.  All shoes sat back then.

i had the black and white ones in elementary school. i got happy when i heard the were being retroed a couple years ago then i was dissapointed they used leather. this time around i will cop the oly colorway or the white and blacks on discount only if they are nubuck

the og olympics were fire in every way except for the plastic piece on the inside heel part that would rub your heel raw when you wore through the sock liner. anyone else have this problem?

The Olympic colorway were the truth. I hope they retro those as well.

 

[ninjahood]

not just any suede material though......DURABUCK!

 

[memphissfinest]

DAMN I LOVE THESE SHOES. IF THOSE BLACKS ARE NUBUCK, I WILL BE COPPING AND IM NOT WAITING FOR A DISCOUNT EITHER.

 

[orthotic]

these were my joints back in 96. i was so pissed that i couldn't get them haha. a few years ago i was hyped up about the retros but the tiny little air bubble in the heel was a deal-breaker for me. i wouldn't even touch this year's retros even with a 50 foot pole.

Still have the Olympic one somewhere in my room and would love to get my hand on this one if released!!

 

[darthska]

So necessary.



Definitely not wearable anymore. Those pics were actually the last time I wore them, a couple years ago.

C'mon Nike. Please don't tell me the Olympic retro is exclusive to HOH.

 

[mjmoney23]

^^^ Even if they are, they wont be too hard to get, and probably for less than 150 if you give it time.
