This latest retro basketball release from Nike Sportswear carries with two distinct subplots. On one hand, there’s plenty of chatter about the $225 MSRP on the Nike Total Air Foamposite Max in Metallic Silver, which, despite being in line with the model’s $180 original sticker price, has some wondering where the new ceiling will be (LeBron 9 Elite, anyone?). The other line of discussion on these is more of the typical NSW fare, as the fact that these were Tim Duncan’s signature in his second NBA season and first championship run in the lockout-shortened 1999 season will remind fans how The Big Fundamental rose to take over the San Antonio Spurs’ reigns from long-time Nike Basketball signee David Robinson, and begs the question how long Duncan (with adidas for several years now) can hold on to his elite status. It’s curious how times change and yet this model is still aesthetically ahead of the curve, and that’s sure to draw a ton of attention when they drop at select retailers like Millennium Shoes on Friday, September 30th.

…the design may still be a lttle too futuristic for streetwear.The BLACK/BLACK is probably more suited for that.But,these are a no-brainer for ballers…very comfortable.

Can i get a WTF on the msrp of $225?
September 20th, 2011 at 12:03 am
I gotta have these!! That price tag isn't that much considering how much the resellers will be taxing for these. I can see these going on eBay for $350-$400. I have copped every other Foamposite release since '09 except for the Neo Limes. A must cop for me.

i agree wit Herndon, 225 isn't as bad as what some "hypebeasts" (god i hate that word) will try and re sell them for. im a tim duncan fan anyway. i might be able to sleep a week after the release and still be able to get them. i dont think the hypebeasts have caught onto this one yet. Their probably hyped more for the orange spizikes and blue spizikes. anyone hear of a columbia pack quickstrike release before 2012? send me a email ZooYork83BC@yahoo.com.

These just arrived today!! Very, very nice in my opinion. I am happy I picked these up early, never owned the Tim Duncans before. My cousin used to have the OGs in 1998 in this colorway I was pretty jealous.

I like the foamposites air Max but I will pass on this 1. Nike is bugging the the price $225 ?! I await 2012 for new arrivals…
