umm have you not read any of my post since ive joined? i hate all things new tech. hahaha, nah im joking. but real talk, some heads can confirm that im the first one to cast shade on tapes, moires, ultras, BRs, hyperfuses or anything else thats new age super techy. i dont even like zeros. i dont believe it was a design put away and forgotten by hatfield. the numbers dont add up. its a conspiracy to get yall to be hyped about everything he does. the materials and design is just a deviated anomaly in the sequence of chronology. just doesnt look like it fits where they say it does.
ford didnt draw up the delorian with 2.21 gigawatts on the flux capacitor, put away the design and said, ehh lets go with the model T instead. thats what the zero feels like to me.
anyway, htm are blah in my opnion. alll new tech hybrids lack that timeless, clean cut design. they all look like just a cool variant of an OG design that i would rock as gym sneaker. the only newish thing ive even remotely considered is the am 1 v patch paris. and i wouldnt break a date for its ending bid.
rant over.
I partially agree with you. The design of the Zero doesn't seem too crazy for 1987 though. It's the fact that Nike is using 2015/2016 materials on the final product.
If they would use the OG AM1 mid/outsole and materials more time specific to the late 80's then it would be an entirely different shoe.
Instead, they're using the Ultra mid/outsole and what appears to be their tape material on the upper.
Either way, I'm not a fan of the Zero but it would be interesting to see a version that's more accurate to it's original sketches.....if it was in fact designed in the late 80's.
As for the Air Max 1's with new technology- the Air Max 1 Lunar (OG Red) has become one of my favorite pairs in recent memory. That Lunar midsole makes it the most comfortable of my pairs in the AM1 family.
