We got a glimpse of what Nike Sportswear could do at the peak of Safari frenzy back in 2008, but that was only a taste of what’s to come in the Air Safari’s 25th anniversary. Arguably the most stylish of Tinker Hatfield’s 1987 ‘Air Pack’, the Nike Air Safari is about to touch down in a huge way with new VNTG drops, the new Lunar Safari+ update, that impressive Air Trainer 1 ‘Safari’ and some brand new colorways like the one pictured above. Their Air Jordan III-leaning appearance reminds us that Tinker’s ’87 was very much like Michael’s ’87-88: both produced output with numbers beyond an entire generation’s loftiest goals and though their best was still to come, many purists still look at that late ’80s period as a definitive peak (and don’t even get us started on how far Hatfield was ahead of the curve with his use of greys for balance). This pair is labeled as a sample with no definitive release date; would you grab a pair if they hit retailers along with the rest of the 25th anniversary Air Safaris? Photos: Passover
