Design with Mesa Orange via IG







Definitely appears Brown to me.

Don’t understand why Nike named it mesa orange, but good to know it’s more brown like on the builder. Threw me off because this is mesa orange on dunks

Since I don't have any olive type color kicks i figured copping these were a must.

When you choose it as the base, the liner behind the tongue is the described color.


Another delivered NBY with a good range of opts via IG




This one looks to have:

Coriander Mesh
Coriander Canvas Overlay
Red Stone Canvas Overlay
Lobster (?) Swoosh

The Pink Oxford midsole looks great!

Damn… super different from renderings.

And here is a comparison.

I wonder if these are coming with a miniature figurine… like the J. Kidd joints

The comparison makes the NBYs look super faint compared to the OGs and even the rendering. Otherwise, it's still a clean design!

LOL

That would be greatly appreciated!


Generally speaking, if you plan to order and want rich(er) color, I think it would be best to avoid Suede and opt for the Canvas instead.

[darekdarek]

97 Atlantic are very narrow, have to send mine back as 10,5 is not comfy.

SW LITE for sure! Looks clean!

That's the Hasta Suede option for the mudguard, correct?

My Rev SWs are scheduled for delivery early this upcoming week!

Thanks!

That is indeed the Hasta Suede option for the mudguard, it was a tossup between the suede and the canvas option, but I think I made the right choice.

One of the greatest shoe designs ever.



95-98, Nike was definitely in their bag like Birkin.



Beautiful sneaker. Remember being jelly of the few that had them back in high school. When I finally got the retro in 2010 from ebay for around retail (I think those had smoked soles though. bleh), I remember taking them to vegas with me and failed at every woman I approached. Took more L's than alphabet soup.


Nonetheless... lawd bless you Mr. Christian Tresser. Your swagnum opus for certain.






Michael Johnson's are todays work wear... gold pear don't care like indifferent teddy bear:

Please excuse the ash, no ketchum.
