A classic piece of the Air Max legacy is back again, this time in its unforgettable OG colorway. The Nike Air 180 turned a lot of heads when it first debuted in 1992 and has always been among the favorites of many Air Max enthusiasts. Despite the nostalgic appeal, the Air 180 has never really caught on as a Retro release, but maybe that will finally start to change now that the original is back and still looking good. The kicks feature a White upper with sections of mesh and other materials and some Ultramarine and hot pink accents. Aside from the color scheme, obviously the most noticeable attribute has to be the extra large visible 180 Air bubble that literally changed the game at the time. If you’re a long time fan or just becoming familiar with this classic model, you can scoop up a pair now at Premier and other select Nike retailers.
Color: White/Ultramarine
Style: 310155-141

If these had the original huge air bubble they’d be perfect.

Actually you’re wrong, I remember these from first time around (’91) and the air bubble was larger, go and look up pictures of the OG, it looks totally different. It’s a well known fact that air bubbles have decreased in size over the years – AM90 bubbles are noticeably smaller too.

the bubble’s ‘bulgier’ (if that’s a word)
Still a great shoe though!
