Nike Air Safari Pack

It all started on a couch in New York City. That’s where Tinker Hatfield first saw the luxurious ostrich leather that inspired him to create Safari print, one of the more enduring aesthetic contributions from his epic 1987 ‘Air Pack’. 2012 marks that fab five’s 25th anniversary and it looks like we’ll be getting quite a few spotted tributes as the Nike Air Safari celebrates a quarter-century of success. Joining it with the traditional black/grey/orange motif is the Air Trainer 1 from whom we’ve seen a ‘Chlorophyll’ preview this year, yet this one seems like just the tip of the iceberg for what might be in store. Examine both pairs in detail below, let us know whether you’d pick the OG Air Safari over the Safari’d Air Trainer 1 and stick with Sneaker News for release info. via Sneaker Freaker
The safari came out 2 years ago they sat on shelf u could get them for $40 2 years later the be a line outside the store cause they put qs tag on them LOL hypebeaster finest
no such think as a sneaker game. people who are saying there is such thing as one are the ones making it worse.
The nike air on the back of the trainer 1 is niiiiice
I've been into Safari print since Day 1, that does not make me any more of a sneaker head than the next man. I will be grabbing both pairs hopefully. Because "I" like them.
thank you basedgod
Those Air Trainer 1's are a must!!
so are the safari's releasing? the article is unclear
The Trainer will hit this month or next in 'QS' fashion. The Safari is also returning later this year.
ok. the safari's dont look like a 2012 retro, the pics have creasing and the black leather has wear. probably just 4 a comparison
yeah it looks like they might have actually used good materials...............that will be the day when that starts happening again
These will be a nice pick up for the fall months.
i dont like safari print but need the og one...sound logic?!
I hope they don't get too hyped up...I remember my older brother having these and I would like to be able to get a pair
One of each please. Defenitly scooping them up.
its funny how only a few people were in to safari anything by nike a couple years ago but now its all of a sudden the sh!t. I hate the direction the sneaker game is going in.
Safari has always been the shit since 87!
what's funny is there's people that think there's this hypothetical "sneaker game" and in order to be in it you have to own or like a certain shoe. Just do you and don't worry about what the next man's wearing, its only shoes.
A 'couple of years ago'? LOL.
What just because there's renewed interest in the game, it's suddenly not cool? Goddamn hipster.
it's really funny thinking anyone gives a shit what you say
no i agree these new heads are corny
