“That’s Junior Seau’s footprint, man!”
At long last, some twenty years after the original releases, the Nike Air Mission turf trainer is about to get a proper retro treatment. This model is remembered for its connection with the late Junior Seau, which along with the memorable commercial quote above from Dennis Hopper, adds a bittersweet nostalgia to this long-lost classic. Here we have two more of the original 1994 colorways, including one to please the masses in black and white with a blue Swoosh and another in the OG Air Diamond Turf neighborhood that foreshadowed the collision between Seau’s Chargers and the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XXIX. Check out both in more detail after the jump and stick with Sneaker News to see when US retailers have theirs; the Japan drop happens next Saturday, the 11th.
