Nike Mac Attack - McEnroes forgotten gem

[CoachBon]

I’m not joking.

People wanna hate just because it’s Travis. Get a hobby.

This is a hobby and I am not hating just because they are Travis shoes, I am hating because they are lazy and boring compared to the OG Attack CW. Slapping a Cactus Jack logo on a shoe does not automatically make it a 10 (or even good for that matter). While I am not a fan of TS or his music I do like some of the shoes. I have the Black Phantom and Olive TS lows. While some hated on the Phantoms for being a plain all black shoe, the materials on them are great. Up close and in hand they are much nicer than run of the mill OG1 lows and the presentation with the bandanas and extra laces made it feel like you were getting something premium. As for the olives, they as well have upgraded materials and unique colors. Again with the olives you got 4 pairs of laces, a unique box and paper. Those are great shoes for retail money.

These Attacks feel more like the TS AF1, a simple plain shoe with some extra (minimal) branding. Of course these will sell out instantly, but they will tank on the resale market because they aren’t that good.

I have to disagree. Travis has single handedly revitalized this shoe.

We'll have to agree to disagree. Last I saw, they're basically sitting.

I wouldn't call that revitalised. I will however credit him for making it relevant again, though, those of us who have wanted them were always going to be in for them given that this is the first time they've retro'd. Him wearing them has likely accelerated their retro, so credit where due, but there hasn't been much traction (they're sitting as I say in all colours).

The reverse Swoosh will sell out, naturally.

I think the OG Grey are clear of all pairs personally but I would say that as someone who covets the original.

 

[Sunzi]

I paid resale for my OGs.

I won't even put in for these TS' for a chance at retail. That's my stance on these.

If I didn't own either and had to go resale for a pair at the same price; OGs all day every day.

Ooooouuu I can’t wait to see the person who wears one of each all over IG

I have to disagree. Travis has single handedly revitalized this shoe.

The Travis tie in and promo has single handedly fueled my interest in a shoe I never knew existed. Nike know their ****, a perfect way to introduce them to a 2023 audience. The OG Grey is a sleeper hit for people who can style them and see the fit potential.

The Travis reverse Swoosh version is still a lazy design and looks objectively worse than the OG. But it has hype so it attracts that audience. Travis version is hype beast, OG is for people with better taste.

This so hard

 

[watermelondeity]

if they did a tan/brown colorway with the travis reverse swoosh they might've been more interesting to me

> OG

Picking apart shoes IS our hobby. The OG Mac Attack is what it is, but this didn’t elevate it at all

 

[frank mucus]

I'm going to need these for the resale culture

 

[KanyIZZY]

Ill take a pair next to the OG.. but don't see me winning. This is a poor hype grab.

 

[Mo Salah]

Anyone know why the Travis is cheaper than the OG?

Because it’s garbage.

These are breaking in nicely.

I caught a pair of my elusive sz 12 on eBay this morning , used but in perfect shape for $135 after using 10% promo they have

Nice, I ordered a pair in my size on DSML yesterday. That overseas shipping was a pretty penny, though.

 

[jln912]

It most certainly works. The fact that it doesn’t look perfect and looks a bit out of place is what makes it what it is.
It went from a boring 7 to a 10!

Weirdo

 

[frank mucus]

How do mcenroes fit. TTS?

 

[RaiderRed806]

Weirdo

You’re triggered huh

Travis brought this shoe new life, why does that bother you lol

 

[Sunzi]

How do mcenroes fit. TTS?

Yeah, I'd say so.

In length they're fine TTS. They're on the narrow-side however. If your foot is wide, people have been going up a half-size.

Personally all my pairs are TTS. No issues. They're actually quite comfortable, in the way I find AJ1 Low OGs comfortable.

 

[brian8598]

Hoping Nike lets me buy these since I've literally bought 10 pairs of Attacks since they started releasing them.

 

[RaiderRed806]

This is it

Folk who been mad hating on Travis sure are quiet now, tryna enter the draw I bet mmhhmm…

 

[CoachBon]

I am going to enter, hit on a pair, then when I get them I will flip the swoosh so its facing the right way
