air mac attack returns?

I was a little too young for them, but I think my brother had a pair. I see that apparently LeBron and rapper Travis Scott were wearing some a couple of years ago. I would love if they could do them with current technology.

Something has changed with the soles but i can not understand what they have modified...
I could be the construction or they changed the specs.
If anyone could do a comparison between a vintage pair and the 2023 when they become available, side by side? Let's see...

When you see pics of the vintage ones on **** for instance, that is not that obvious, the old ones look a bit slimmer at the front part, some sort of tappering.
Yes, new ones look like creepers or Doc Martens soles :)

Back in 1985 it wasn’t called “Air” Mac Attack. It was just Mac Attack. No air.

Air or not, hopefully they put in a decent midsole and a durable tennis outsole. Hoping the new ones have endurance outsoles to last on hardcourt. Wishful thinking for sure.

I guess yesterday’s high performance tennis shoe is today’s lifestyle shoe……. I’m going to get a pair too but I’ll only wear them on clay.

Yeah, back in the day it was a great shoe for the summer since there is nylon mesh. More flexible than the modern tennis shoe without the lateral stabilization built in. Too bad we have zero clay courts here in the west. Great re-release nonetheless.

Yes, the new ones look out proportion. Same with how McEnroe looked in his Pickleball match online.

The new ones have a much thicker sole. It’s very strange proportions.

I agree, thicker sole, different last and possibly a different construction. The new ones look more bulbous and round, like classic english gentlemen's shoes. :X3:

Nike Mac Attack.

I finally found a picture of these mothers. It seems to me these fell in the '84-'86-ish range. Johnny Mac had worn out his plain blue Nike court shoes, but Air Trainer 1 didn't yet explode on the scene. Mac Attack was a sick shoe. The grey one here was a little nicer than the white, but the...

This thread got quiet. Was anyone else able to grab a pair of these? They seemed virtually impossible to get online this morning. Luckily I had two spots local to me that had these in store. The one spot I was the only one who waited outside for the store to open! These are great in hand. Upper materials are soft however the midsole is a little firm (probably due to the fact there is no air technology in these). Plenty comfortable for casual wear though.

We have an APB in my town and I was able to get a 12 today. Like you, I was the only one in line. Seemed to be zero hype for these in Tallahassee. If anyone needs a pair, DM me and I’ll see if they have any sizes left.

There is no midsole on these, just a plain rubber cupsole. Their comfort, if there is any, would come from their insole only.
 
They were snapped up .... unfortunately I think it was not managed well by nike, as was done for the aj3 racer blue ...
Among other things in Europe I think it has not arrived

seems nike only cares about collectors and resellers here

Nike cares about profit margin, they don't care who ends up with the shoe as long as they sell out.

On a brighter note there are rumors that multiple colorways of this shoe are coming. Hopefully they are general release and easier to obtain at retail.

Reviews from people who bought them say they aren't comfortable. Maybe some here will report.

They are plenty comfortable for casual wear. They do run narrow though and I went up a half size.

I may put in one of my orthotics and play a causal tennis match in them for fun one day.
