The Nike Air Trainer 1 ‘Chlorophyll’ remains one of the most easily identifyable colorways in the entire history of sneakers. This curious shade of green was practically dormant until Nike revived its Trainer lineup, starting with retros last year and culminating with their updated versions’ releases. Next up is the second generation of the reborn cross-trainer, the Nike Air Trainer 1.2 Mid+, and it looks superb with a mix of white/grey/black and the aforementioned signature shade. These are slated for a July 2010 release as part of Nike Training’s Fall 2010 lineup, but they might be availble a little early as they’ve already popped up for pre-order from Japan’s atmos.

the aesthetics of the shoe are very pleasing, but will definitely have to see these in person and examine the materials, the pleather on the previous TR1s were garbage.

solerebel, i have experience with these materials and can tell just from looks alone, it’s the same type of synthetic stuff Nike has been pushing onto shoes since 2002 at1 checkerboards and the 2009 tr1s. Buyer beware.. Without a forefoot cushion, these are a total downgrade from the wearability of the 1987 original. 23-24 years later, we have digressed. how bout that?

Who knew “Debbie Downer” had a son?
FYI, synthetic leathers/materials are not only more cost-effective AND eco-friendly, but they’re more durable under the rigors of high-intensity training & performance (i.e. the Zoom Kobe V with it’s FULL synthetic upper!)
I don’t think Nike-talking qualifies as either Wally H. Downer, but I may be wrong!
