    Hey Guys! When Nike puts its mind to it, they can really pull out a winner. Let us know what you think of the Nike Air Trainer 1 making a comeback in 2022? Let us know down below. Have a good one!

    What a reward for those that stuck around till 8:06. Can't remember if you've ever done the first part of a video, gone to the store, bought another shoe, and then shown it at the end of a video. Gotta love Chris giving us new formats 13 years into reviewing shoes.

    Hey Chris! Solid review, again! I had the original low top versions. They were strapless and they were that color way but they were all that nubuck material. Also had a little window above the outrigger, it there was a fabric underlay that had cross trainer in stitching. These were my first Nikes..I remember my mom finding a coupon to get like $15 bucks off..haha.

    • @donguapisimo4222
      @donguapisimo4222 2 роки тому +1

      Yep. I had the low top strapless version in high school. The original ones didn’t have the cutout with the name stitched in. I thought that the cutout version looked better though. I’ve owned both versions. That are, by far, my favorite sneakers ever. The strapped version were “air trainers” while the strapless version was the “cross trainer” I believe. Great shoes.

    I think these are cooler today than they were when they originally came out. I remember as a kid shoe shopping and all my friends wanted either a pair of air max or pegasus, these were considered not as cool as those models. These though are the best version of that shoe. I remember some pretty uncool basic versions of the cross trainer. But they did a great job with these.

    I have the Air Trainer 1 SP Honeydew and I had to go up a half size and still got a blister on my pinky toe the first time I wore them even though I loosened the strap and laces. Hopefully they will break in a little. I do have slightly wider feet though. And I totally understand where Mrs. Wing is coming from - the strap. It reminds you of those Grandpa shoes with the Velcro straps instead of laces.

    I got the chlorofyll ones a couple of weeks ago and also have the SB version and allthough the SB's materials are a bit nicer, the fit on the 2022 version is much better and I absolutely love them. Also like that the perferation on the toebox is correct this time. The only thing I don't like is that the chlorofyll is just a little bit off, normally it's a bit brighter. Mc Enroe vibes are defenitely strong on this latest version👌

    Big difference in comfort I noticed with the Trainer 1 and Legacy 312 series is the strap placement. Trainer 1 has it at the *end or before start of laces while the Legacy has it *over of the lace.
    There is no discomfort on the Trainer 1 while you can feel some tightness and discomfort on the ball area of feet with the Legacy 312's. Trainer 1 are heaps comfortable.

    Been wearing my Chlorophylls every day since I got them last Tuesday. The quality is great but the craftsmanship, not so much. Lots of glue marks on the upper near the toebox. Very comfortable pair that caused some right pinky toe discomfort on day 5 towards the end of the day but overall, very solid and such a classic to wear with any fit.

    Chris and Jodie, I ended up buying two pairs of these in 1987 my Junior year in high school. I did wear these for just about everything. But I absolutely loved hooping in them. Believe it or not they were awesome for playing basketball. Traction was great, they were so light and there was just enough cushion and having the strap for extra lockdown kept your foot in place. This might be the most underrated shoe of all time. They also look great. I wouldn't ask anyones opinion about sneakers if they like birkenstocks. She likes to disagree or make fun just to get you worked up. She still does a great job.
