..a retro would suck for these same goes for linens, mushroom, or atmos mainly because it will not be the same. What makes these special is the simplicity and better is quality. I'm sure nike will get the color down MAYBE, the little stuff like nylon tounge MAYBE, but for sure the shape will be off, and quality will suck guaranteed. So I would say you are better of hunting down a pair of the og's it may be tough but surely not impossible. If I want a pair from the 90's I want it to be exact and not slightly different. It would suck for air max because it's not wearable but af1 is still very much wearable so it would not be a problem. Now I wouldn't object for a retro of something close to impossible to get such as lemon twist some crazy sample never released because it can't get them but with these it's still possible to get. Thats just my opinion on the subject.
word on the street is that we're going to be seeing quite a few retros of classic AF1 colorways in 2008.
and while they might not be quite the same, i appreciate the chance to get a pair or two here or there to wear, and not have to pay a bape price for my size.
