ZOOM SPIRIDONS SUMMER 2016

[jaynev]

@rogue5 pretty sure all spiridons only come w/ the laces they're laced up with and thats it

someone correct me if I'm wrong

Tried on a pair of Ultra's yesterday and they were prelaced, yep, with no extra laces.

ah. you’re right. last dons i wore were the ldn roundels and they come with two sets.

@mriloveshoes21 ultras are a modern build with updated materials and a cored out sole. they seem to run about a half size bigger than the OGs.

as far as what size you should get, i think you should order a pair off NDC since they offer free shipping and returns for nike+ members.

Appreciate it bro...so the ones that are out in stores are the ultra?  There's no retro that is considered closer to the OG that you guys are talking about???

 

[KilroyIverson21]

you can def go a half sz down in ultras, some can even do a full sz down whereas the OG build fits more tts even half sz small in some cases

confused yet? thats nike sizing for you

Lol...sometimes Nike sizing makes me legitimately question if I know my actual size.

I might have gotten a few things wrong, let me know so I can fix.


These are the OGs from 97

Nike retro'd them in 05 alongside AF1s and the Zoom Don bball shoes but I don’t consider those to be applicable to this list. 


was this one released in 97 or 05?

Courir in France had these Tuxedos done up in 06. S/O to [@=https://niketalk.com/members/132001"media, 2480168"][/GALLERY]

Some more samples from '06 that all originated in France, I think. Not sure what the top sample was called but the black/gold were Opiums.

Another sample with what looks like grey patent leather, so could have been from '06 too.

The easiest way to spot the diff between OG build and Ultra is a quick look at the midsole. OGs have a lot of swirls and texture, while the Ultras are smooth and more bulbous looking.

Gotchu.

Haha thats sick! Ross pick ups on these

Also @rogue5

What about these "tuxedo" dons? Never been a mad fan of patent/shiny leather but it works well on these:

 

[rogue5]

never seen those mrphist ! link?

That image just takes you to a random site... I did a google search and it seems like they were a 2005 release.

The hunt is on? lol

Can't wait for that black and the blue colorway to hit nike

 

[rogue5]

updated my previous post with all samples, colorways, OG, ultra, etc.

 

[rainking]

@Mrphist the hunt is on

Even after decades as a shoe geek, which means I shouldn't be surprised, I still find amusement in things like this. Wow, a black and white shoe with patent leather. How inspired. As with a lot of these limited edition/collabs, if the shoe was a GR, it would eventually be on a truck to everyone's local outlet. Between stuff like this and those Virgil Abloh Jordan 1s that apparently qualify as fine art because some guy scribbled on them with a Sharpie, I'm starting to think I should've been my own high-fashion brand/"groundbreaking" artist. Maybe I've finally just become very old 

 

[rogue5]

rainking ok?

 

[rainking]

@Rainking ok?

Clearly I'm bored today prior to July 4 weekend LOL.

Plus, between the way Nike has done the releases for the Spiridons and AM97s, I'm annoyed. Maybe it's just been a long week in the office and I need to take a walk. 

 

[rogue5]

rainking spiridons have and always will be my favorite silhouette, so what's the problem with wanting every variant? this is one of maybe two colorways that released in a patent leather.

Lol sorry dude, I wasn't actually bagging on you or that colorway. More that I chuckle when limited collabs just look like any plain Jane basic colorway. That was the extent of it. Got lost in translation.
