Oh yes. Do I spy a 'lesser spotted' silver/red/navy omega in the 86 line up? Am I correct in thinking they also did a mid blue Omega as well?

Amazing props to FC. I see the "Spiridon" has been used before but a very different shoe. Can somebody educate me on this one?

There has been several variations of the Spiridon over the years Elsey, its a bit like the 'pegasus' in that sense. I dont know if you are aware of the origin of the name? Spiridon Louis, the winner of the marathon in the first modern Olympic games in 1896.

Your post with the Air Stab advert is sweet mik_git, but this post takes it up another notch. My main man at Footcandy, Dave retro_boy got slammed the other day by crispy noodles for calling the sneaker scene a "game". But in my eye's, a little healthy competition is bound to push this post on nicely.

I love the air max light so much. [heart] The airborne is one of my all time favourites too, shame it was only for "da kids". Nike should take a walk down memory lane and revisit some of these classics. Kill the dunk off and bring back some real 80's legends, but dont f**k them up in the process!

Someone on here alerted me to a pair of black and yellow runners they had seen in Top Man on Oxford Circus, in the vintage bit upstairs they sometimes have shoes. Anyway, popped there at lunch, looked at them, ummed and arred (they were second hand and a bit manky), massive lines at the checkouts so decided to come back after work, hid them and everything. Went back after work - they were gone. Cram Vendettas they were. [bawling]

They went for big money though, $180+. They are so much better than the retro....

catalogue pics and adverts are sick. especially the stab advert. Heat!![beer_right] although, is anyone gonna step it up and post ACTUAL OG shoes? that would be killing it to see some bits like air max Lights,spans, crams and mariahs DS in their boxes. also im reckoning an early 90s runners appreciation thread should be made. im working on grabbing a few bits from the early 90s myself....)

Such a quality thread, so many seriously nice shoes on display! Trouble is its reminding me of all the stuff I wore, trashed and slung out! C'mon Nike, dig a little deeper into your history and give us what we want!

Co-signed! For me there will never, ever be a period like 85-91ish again... back when runners, cross trainers and, f*ck me, even walking shoes by Nike were the bomb.

Cram and Cova Destiny were indeed kids only.

Now there are a few classics in here I wouldn't mind getting my hands on: Odyssey, Spiridon, Centurions..
