I'd like to know as well.

The new Safari retros fit true to size for me, so I'm assuming the IDs will as well.

Saw the swatch and some samples in person today...

Everything but the Leather options in the swatch was consistent with the online options. I saw four more leather options on the swatch that aren't currently available online.

Sail, Chocolate, and two other lighter Browns I can't recall at the moment...

Here's the only sample with one of the lighter Browns...

It's really similar to the original cw.

-edit-
The mesh felt pretty rigid, imho. Nothing like soft AM1iD mesh. 

The Leather, on the other hand, looked and felt good. It looked pretty tumbled too, which is a plus.

Received my iDs today. These are alright, the suede quality is good as well as the build quality(Vietnam). These run true to size for those asking. I'm happy with these, my only criticism is that
I was expecting a lighter gum sole like that found on the AF1 and AM1 iDs. Guess these are listed as the "medium brown" gum on the iD site as opposed to the "light brown" gum which I personally

prefer.

SoleAddict- Those are really nice. Im glad they run TTS. I ordered and all black leather pair, no safari with a sail midsole. Should be receiving in the next couple of weeks

Has anyone else received their pairs? I'd love to see more close up pics of the suede and leather.

Just got around to taking pics. I've had these for months now. Wish they didn't take the Safaris off iD. Quality is top notch. Sorry for the crappy phone I pics.

In for the OG’s. Had the original retro (2003?) but absolutely thrashed them.

I think I'll always associate these with Biz Markie

Would love to get my hands on a quality Air Safari retro. I got a pair of the Air Oasis "Safari" in 2006 from an overseas seller(they were a Asia exclusive). Great quality and super comfortable.

Need.

 

[stayhydrated]

curious to see the quality on these.

 

[illustrayt]

Definitely looking forward to the retros releasing!

Release date on SNKRS: 3/14
Price: $140

$140 is a bit steep for these but going for them regardless. Would love to double up on discount.

Gotta love Nike. Tease us with the Animals that no one will cop, make a dime off people settling for the Safari. I mean, I think the Safaris are pretty dope but it's just sad that they could retro these whenever they want, but they choose to do it specifically when they know everyone's going to miss out on a truly coveted release.

Wow, picked up the Mowabb Safaris in high school many years ago from the outlet and beat the heck out of them. Very comfortable.

Love Safari print, will hopefully pick these up when they go on sale. Hope they can add the Mowabb retro one day as well.

Man, I loved those! I really regret selling mine. Now, I’m on the look out for them. #grailstatus
