Nike Air Alpha Force

[therealest1]

I'm not sure if there's an existing thread for the Nike Air Alpha Force, a late '80s classic. If one does exist, please point it out.

I vaguely recall seeing some NBA players wearing these in the late '80s/early '90s.

These will be returning in its 1988 form.

I’m in for these! We can only hope Nike does these justice with the shape and decent materials

 

[singer10]

Im in. I hope this is the start of bringing back more late 80s/early 90s basketball.

Long overdue. Hopefully we get a proper raiders trainer sc iii, Air revolution, flight 89 high, ‘88 delta, force down the line, and not just one og colorway out of the bunch.

I admit I never knew the name of these back then despite remembering the design forever. I focused more on the signature shoes like Jordans and other higher price shoes instead of Nike shoes like these broadly worn by NBA players of that time who didn't have a signature like Michael.

Goodness gracious. I thought 2023 was going to be easy on my wallet but I guess not.

 

[seandon23]

It’d be dope if Nike could retro the air revolution with the amount of love and care the huaraches or am90s get. Would be a serious problem on my funds

High hopes and low expectations, that’s where I’m at until we see how these turn out.

I would love to see the Air Force III make a return as well. If Nike can at least get the Air Trainer SC III back to how they were when they first retroed (1997-1998 ), I would consider buying. This model still remains butchered and it’s sad.

YES!!

I will be paying retail for these on release day, with zero regrets.

It’s like the 7th grade all over again ❤️

It's funny how these are being associated with Michael Jordan

I always associated them with Charles Barkley, and they normally had a Sixers colorway

I hope the Michael Jordan association doesn't cause people to want them.

It looks like some hype is growing for this re-release.

Pictures of other NBA players wearing them in this one.

This is quite interesting to me because I've always associated the signature shoes with Jordan ever since I began watching basketball. It's actually shocking to me that I learned in retrospect so many years later that he wore Nike shoes that weren't a signature of his during his NBA career. I truly always assumed he wore signature shoes during the entirety of his NBA career ever since the day he signed with Nike in 1984.

I would never associate these with Jordan despite him wearing them a few times. But I'm in the same boat with you in associating them with other various NBA players wearing them because they didn't have a signature line when they were signed to Nike. What also made me recall them was that the players who wore them had colorways that matched their team color.

They're not going to be able to do these right.

Some information with the product number and price in this article. The one Michael Jordan wore is slated to release this fall. They're really trying to hype it up as a Jordan shoe despite him wearing them for only one game in his NBA career.

Detailed Looks // Nike Air Alpha Force 88 "Chicago"

There were very few occasions where Michael Jordan wore non-Jumpman-branded sneakers on the NBA hardwood. The most notable instance was in 1995, when Mike dropped a 40-piece on Penny Hardaway in his signature Nike Air Flight One. Long before that, the Nike Air Ship was the precursor to his Air...

I had given up all hope I’d ever see these again. I can’t believe it. Please, Nike, don’t jack them up. 🙏

Looking at those supposed official images, the shape looks good to me.

IDK.. its not bad but they look like they'll be cardboard and lumpy. This is a sleek shoe that deserves Air Ship materials for it to make sense.
