Nike Air Trainer 3 retro's over the years

[pwguy]

^^Hey pwguy, what's your take on the Medicine Balls from last yr? Had them but sold them, thought they would be better quality but still regret selling them.

I actually skipped them b/c I have the '09 and '14s. The only downside of the '14s is the leather insole (which stops bleeding after a while). I actually like the lining, which isn't OG but comfy. If I didn't have the '14s, I would have gotten the '19s for sure; I thought they were decent. Only thing I don't like about them is the orangish color on the edge of the leather; thought that looked off, but not a big deal.

I actually like the orange lining on the MB

^^I hear ya.....just glad we're getting something though. Copped the navy's so can't wait to rock them.

Yeah, a lot of people liked that. If I didn't have the previous 2 retros I'd be all over those; they were well done and definitely worth having if you don't have MBs and like MBs!

How's the general leather/pleather quality? The sides behind the swoosh look like med balls quality, which isn't a bad thing.

That flash photo is a big NO for me. The 3m combined with soggy dirty looking rubber elements, that should be white, or age all at once. That's a pretty candid photo. Looks like a kids shoe in some regard.

Time to break out some 5-15 year old trainers and call it good. Unless you all feel the quality has a chance to

Giving me these vibes... though I prefer the more vibrant green.

pwguy nice review.

The grey parts could also turn yellowish. I used to have the 2001 red white grey cw.

Quality isn't anything special and notnlike the MBs. It's fine though. Not trash like the era of 2013 Jordan FR5s for example.

Given to your general sentiment I think you should pass.

Wow... Yeah... The color is a lot like those. Guess they'll yellow too. Oh well. I'll just enjoy them and hope an OG launches in the next decade.

I recall a pair launched with black instead of blue color blocking. (Not the all black.). I'd go for that too since the OG indigo was so close to black. Anyone have a Pic?

Thanks! The forefoot plastic on those 2001 white/black would need to be white instead of black for me to really be into them. It's that contrast of the OG color blocking that I love so much.

Ooooh yea

I had both 14 and 19 medicine balls and I preferred the 19. The shape was better on the 19 and of course I didn’t care for that leather insole that fades on your socks.

Also noticed on the navy pair the strap is bone but the rest is the light grey.

I love them though.

^ That's gonna drive my OCD mad.

Clean!

 

[modzzilla]

Clean!

Do they fit though?

 

[toneloc2002]

Do they fit though?

Yes and TTS for me. I seen you had issues with the green ones. No issues for me on these or the racer blues

Pinky toe crisis is upon us with these 'USA' joints.

 

[reddz]

My pair copped the yellowish pretty bad

Viotech prices keep going down. Should I buy now or wait?

 

[pwguy]

So are we to assume this was Nike's go at the OG Navy's this time around, and we need to wait another 10-20 years for another attempt?

I'd wait. Resellers are worried b/c they have excess inventory, and these are dropping again next week.

Yeah count me out...I’m already on the wrong side of my 30’s...No way I’m entertaining the thought that I’d ever own a pair...
