This new color way couldn't be a shock to those of us who've been following Nikes for awhile now. The resurgence of the eggplant color, made infamous by the Air Foamposite One, continues to grow. This color way has recently seen on the Big Highs, the original Foamposite Ones, the Air 1/2 Cent and even on Blazers. I'm sure some of the purist are starting to think that Nike is overusing the eggplant, but they couldn't argue that these look great. I would have excluded the 3M reflective stripes on the eyelets because they take away from the toe to heel flow of the shoe, especially on such a monotone color way. Any thoughts?
Been lurking for a while. Nice blog. I respect you.

ReplyDeletei only like solid eyelets on air max. i know it's the whole "premium/limited" thing, but keep them solid color. otherwise these are sick. what's next for eggplant though? it is nice to see an old colorway on a new shoe though, even if it is a re-creation of a few air max.
