When Sneaker News first showed you preview images of Nike Sportswear’s summer 2012 Air Safari offerings just before the turn of the year, we noted that two pairs’ chalky outsoles seemed a clear indication of their VNTG status. All four of those were depicted with beige midsoles which could either be pre-yellowing or just another balancing force on a quartet of smartly selected palettes, but now we can expect all of them to be Vintage drops with yesterday’s Nike Air Safari VNTG release and the same details emerging on the also-gumsoled Mesa Orange and Black Tea edition. These are the closest to the 25th birthday edition but still maintain a respectful distance that allows a touch of today’s clean colorblocking, and you’ll find them available now at NSW stores like Burner.
