The outcry for Nike Retro releases have been heard loud and clear as we’ve seen a number of classic Nikes releases and be scheduled for upcoming drops. One Retro that will most likely not happen is the Nike Air Pressure, the $190 Nike basketball shoe with an incredibly heavy air-pump console attached the rear ankle of the shoe. The Air Pressure is one of those shoes that were better suited for viewing rather than wearing, and considering the unique plastic-case packaging and space-boot like design, it’s better off as a museum piece rather than a part of your footwear rotation.
For 2010, Nike introduced the Nike Air PR1, a modified version of the Air Pressure but with an Air Jordan III sole, slightly modified upper, and of course, shed of the huge contraption. Overall reception to the shoe was mixed as the PR1 wasn’t a true Retro, but this upcoming House of Hoops-exclusive colorway might change a few minds. Arriving soon at House of Hoops is the Nike Air PR1 in a colorway inspired by the original; a white upper with hints of grey and red attack the upper, and a matching t-shirt with “Contents Under Pressure” will also be available. Continue reading for a detailed gallery of this upcoming Air PR1 release as well as the original Air Pressure and let us know what you think. via SoleCollector.

"The Air Pressure is one of those shoes that were better suited for viewing rather than wearing…it’s better off as a museum piece rather than a part of your footwear rotation" – speak for yourself SneakerNews. I'd cop and rock these in a heartbeat.

The Air Pressure is one of the most uncomfortable and heaviest shoes ever made, but whatever floats your boat!

Omggggg love them
December 15th, 2010 at 7:20 pm
gimme the shoes, keep the shirt. This is as close as we'll ever get to the OG's and Im good with that
December 15th, 2010 at 7:35 pm
Haha, when i first saw this I thought they were Retroing the Pressure's.
No homo, but I damn near jizzed my pants.

Honestly… wish they would retro the Air Pressure. The should do all the basketball fans justice and retro all the 1989-1991 basketball kicks. That would be something amazing.

^lmaoo there not boots ….
i want the nike PR1 SO BADDDDDD
December 16th, 2010 at 9:17 am
Come on Nike, give us the Air Pressure. Not this PR1. I would purchase a couple Air Pressures, but will purchase 0 of these.
December 16th, 2010 at 9:24 am
im happy to see these, but not the same without the pump(smh at hoh release). And now im extra worried to see how Nike plans on releasing the pressure and command forces.
December 16th, 2010 at 9:27 am
DAMN, fire! Great job Nike! These are sick as can be! I love the 90´s coming back…
December 16th, 2010 at 10:05 am
hey sneakerheads move on! why do you do an 'either or' comparison with every shoe?
d-bag says "oh yeah they hard but dude i'll take the OG instead!"
guess what, these are pressure inspired….. the shoe is a PR1 not an attempt to retro the pressure. if the shoe is hot, then give it some credit. people are taking retro too far. can't constantly be stuck in the past comparing everything. if the pressure released in 2010 that Btchhh would cost 295.00
point is…. LET ME COP BTCH
December 16th, 2010 at 12:40 pm
if it relesed now it would cost 400-500. $ 200 was the price back in 90
December 16th, 2010 at 2:54 pm
the OG's do look better but both pair are nice.
December 16th, 2010 at 3:02 pm
these ain't boots you faggot,i should slap the shit out of you. how dare you disrespect a nike thats paying homage to the great pressures,now go kill your self twice once in this life,and in the after life,faggot ass bitch
December 16th, 2010 at 3:29 pm
Woah. cool your jets my brotha theyre just sneakers
December 16th, 2010 at 3:39 pm
if the commands and pressure get retroed they would be $150-175 tops. dont know why people say they will be crazy dollars. also dont think they will be priced higher then a retro xi for $175. there isnt any pump system in the shoe which is the main reason for the price point being so high for that time. if nike know hypebeast will pay oc prices then they will charge oc prices.

Nike won’t the time to make a true Retro. They can pump out as many PR1s as they want but if they want to re-release the OG Pressure, some sort of re-engineering has to go in it because it won’t be suitable for wear and Nike’s not gonna put that out there (if they really cared). In the end, the majority doesn’t know what the Air Pressure is nor do they care. It won’t be worth the effort for Nike to go out and make a run of these – even a limited run.
December 16th, 2010 at 5:01 pm
Still homo for even saying that
December 17th, 2010 at 7:31 am
99% of people will think this colourway is OG…lol
I am happy with this homage. I will definitely pick up a pair and wear the hell out of them.
Would have been cool if they added the plastic tabs on the lace eyelets.

Got mine from HOH Serramonte. Released TODAY on the 18th, according to their sheets.
December 18th, 2010 at 10:46 pm
if a retro of a XI is 175.00 best believe an air command or a pressure is gonna be 225.00 plus at least. no way they are cheaper than a cheap quality jordan release
December 19th, 2010 at 8:12 am
This pics LIE!!…Yea these dropped at House of Hoops only to find out theres no strap…. WIGGITY WIGGITY WACK!…
