  1. I tried them on… I can say that they run 1/2 size large. Or they feel more roomy than other performance models. Lack of forefoot zoom for sure…Nike ruined every shoe that has been retroed…thats a shame. They have good ankle support in comparison with the newer prrformance models where you can twist your ankle even if you go out walking. That was the only good attribute.
    I cant understand. Nike makes new performance shoes without good support or being able to use your orthotics ( if you re a pro baller you know how important is) with all these lows, lunar insoles and no decent outriggers (like kobe v)…. The retroes are crap just for walking and if you play and something happens to the shoe you cannot send them back because they are lifestyle shoes. All these for much higher prices… Thank you Nike

    1. Nike accepts a return for ANY product within 60 of the purchase, for any reason, as long as it’s bought from a Nike retail/outlet store or their website. I’ve definitely returned a pair of lifestyle shoes before

      1. what about after 60 days? a zoom may pop or a shoe (like a friends of mine, a Jordan IV) blew out in a practice and the 60 days had past….They re all fakes..chinese crap. nike has lost quality for higher profit. Name me a shoe and i will prove you that is not good for basketball or it has many cons, except Lebron 12 but even these are sooooo expensive.

  2. Thank God I watched this.
    The zoom air in this shoe was the best part.
    I had these in grade 12.
    The traction was pretty damn good too and I played on garbage floors.

    They can’t put this shoe out as it was originally made because it would make you seriously question the value or advancement found in things like the kd 7 or lebron 12.

    Yes the ogs of these played easily as good as either of those.

    A lot of the times they are taking the tech out so we don’t call them on wild gimmicks.
    If this came out so it did originally it would prove that nike really hasn’t bested zoom air in the following 18 or so years

  3. I’m glad that I watched this too. I was really looking forward to getting them before but I won’t be getting them now.

    1. same,
      i was so happy that nike retro these….
      lucky i watch this video.
      the only thing i want from this model is the full length zoom,
      only heel zoom??
      pfffff totally a rip off.
