Is anyone old enough to remember the Nike air Force pumps that came out in 1990?
I had a pair of these my freshman year in highschool in 1989-90...I remember how great and comfortable the support was when I wore them...
I actually had a hookup and got them 5 days before they were released in stores and I remeber how everyone was jocking me at school because I lied and told people Nike had them custon made for me, LoL...
They reminded me of Marty Mcflys back to the futre 2 shoes because of how futuristic they looked when they came out at the time.
I thought they also looked and felt a hell of a lot better then the Reebok pumps.
The Nikes pumped up on the side instead of the tongue and the cushion supported dam near your whole foot.
The last pair of Nike pumps to ever come out were David Robinsons in 1992 I believe.
Anyway, the origional 1990 release were one of my favorite shoes to ever come out to date.

Does anyone know if Nike will ever re-release these...they certainly were a 1 of a kind type shoe and will always be one of my favorites...

That's stupid of them.
They won't be the same without the pump.
Th pump is what made them special.
:shrug: Kind of pointless to bring them back out then.

Wearing my KO's today hopefully they bring me good luck & i can secure this yr's set in the next few days... they are starting to pop up in the area @ mom & pop shops

it would probably be too expensive to produce for a shoe with only a cult following... it doesnt have the jordan logo on it so most of the dumb kids out there hypebeasting will probably ignore it regardless of how significant they really are in the eyes of true sneakerheads

edit: also i just read that reebok sued nike for using a pump. anyone know if thats true at all?

I think Reebok has tried to sue like every shoe company over somthing.
Reebok won a lawsuit before that aganst L.A Gear for the patent of the pump and L.A Gear had to pay.
