Those that know me, know that I have a soft spot for retro Nike shoes (and have amassed quite a collection). Whether it be Air Jordan (ahem, I - VII only), Air Trainers, Air Max 87, 90, 91 (or 93) or even the Nike Air Tech Challenge (better known as Air Agassi), they just don't make shoes like they used to. Not to mention the fond memories I have of being in junior high and switching shoes for a day with the kid who's mom would shell out the (then outrageous) pricetag of $100 for said pair of shoes. My parents wouldn't go quite so far -- but far enough to get a decent pair of Air Force's.
Anyway, I am writing all of this because Nike will be releasing a retro of what I consider to be my "holy grail". The Nike Air Trainer SCII will be re-released this summer for the first time in 20+ years. The last time I have seen a pair in person, I was in 7th grade I believe. Here's hoping Nike will release all of the OG colorways (fingers crossed).
I am a bit late to the party, as @TheShoeGame first
broke the news a few months back. Either way, better late than never.
