    The hardness of the air bag is absolutely an OG protection feature. There's a spec pamphlet somewhere that shows there was a clear plate attached to both sides of the outsole that protected the new bigger bubble. I remember being surprised that I couldn't squeeze the bubble back then.

    • @pasquale78

    The younger consumers don't understand how legendary these were back in 91. The exposed air bubble on the sole was almost futuristic at the time.......classic but very hard to keep clean, especially the suede part.👍🏿

      They were out of this world. So were the commercials. I mean, when you get David Cronenberg and Ind. Light and Magic to do some of them ... But when he says they are like 100% true to the original: The midsole in the forefoot is different.

    I owned a pair of 1992 OG Olympic Air Force 180s back in the day and remember after 2 years of wearing them I took them apart and the clear part of the 180 rear air unit was part of the outsole and the air bag unit was separate inside it. They were super durable back then and biggest fear was not puncturing the rear air unit but the front air bag unit if you accidently stepped on a sharp rock or object.

I worked all summer for them and they where my first Nike. But last time i checked the mid sole was gone and the dial was missing. Still one of my most memorable things from Highschool. I need to check my storage... :(

    Best balanced review of the 180 retro, not comparing it to todays models, but actually comparing it to the OG,look, comfort, materials. Unfortunately I am old enough to have had the OGs and I confirm the outer air unit was hard and used an outer transparent mould that gave the air unit extra protection. The 180 was designed and moulded around the whole air unit. Can't wait for these ⏰🥵🥵🥵
