I remember in 97-99 you could find these in ross all throughout the bay for $34.99 good times but today for $170 ill keep my eye out for when they hit the outlets
Can not be more excited. I’ve never had these and wanted them since they were new. One of my good friends had them when they first released, and then got that first retro, and both times I was in love. Hoping to get them this time 🤞🏻 Wrapping skills negative a million.
The Sock Racer pic from the 80s catalogue is crazy. Definitely ahead of its time. Now that Nike's CEO has changed, hopefully they rediscover their innovation culture and not just try to make fast money.
I appreciate reviews like this. I was around in these days and knew nothing about em. Just Js and the AM 97s. With these 40 year old / Mailman feet… I gotta check these out.
Caged Zoom is very interesting. it's essentially the closest thing to articulated Zoom Air today, and the fact Nike brought it back is insane given that they would probably give it a standard full-length one today, but they didn't! QotD answer: Probably 5. I've never done it, but who knows?
And this is why this channel must live forever!!! Chris you’re so knowledgeable, this is insane! Absolutely love your content guys! Keep on creating and I’ll keep on liking, watching and all the good stuff ❤
Spiridon fan over here. This shoe reminds me of high school. As much as I love the air max 97s, I've always preferred the spiridon. If I wasn't tapped out from Christmas shopping I would consider getting these. And yeah, I'm in the negatives when I try wrapping gifts.
These look sooooo good. And hearing about the tech makes me want to try them even more. I just snagged the Fragments, but debating getting the OG pair as well. That metallic red hits hard.
Alwaye loving your detailed reviews.❤ Got'Em back in 2016. Still Stellar and holding up - VNDS ❤ All Red Nike Box then. Also, have the Black and Gold Pair with the Gold Swoosh. 2016 they referred to them as "The NikeLab Air Zoom Spiridon"
Thanks Christian Trescherer lol. Excited for these. My wrapping skill is just above 0 and well below 1 if on the scale of 1 to 10. Looks like Dr. Frankenstein created wrapped gifts rather than a monster. Apparently people are supposed to use 1 piece of tape. I need a new tape dispenser per gift. I’ve even given up and just used trash bags. No garbage inside, just thoughtful gifts.
Great review as always guys this is my favourite shoe of all time I've got the blue roundel collab pair and a purple and gold GR! Shame they've removed the polyurethane insole as the 2016/17 run of them had those. Interestingly you can actually see where the tooling is from it's from the 1996 zoom alpha and even early mock ups of the presto had a similar tooling. But you can find pictures of the bare zoom unit online it's very alien looking!
I love these. I can still remember my wonderment when I first saw the implementation of Zoom Air on the spiridon. Just like Chris, I have always wanted to try it. It always blew my mind.
Weartesters, you HAVE TO review the Jordan 12 and Solefly collab!! Such a fire release and the details are sick!! Really well executed ! Happy to have a pair for sure !
Thanks for the info on these! Now I know the history, and knowing is half the battle 😂. Also, I’m with Chris on the gift bags - I’m terrible with them!
I'm a great gift giver, terrible gift wrapper. At this point my signature 'wrap' is reusing cardboard shipping boxes my sneakers come in and then writing personal notes on them in sharpie. Has worked out well the past few years
The Spiridon is classic dad shoe. Will be interesting to see if these get love this time around. Wrapping skills for me are about a 5 on a scale to 10. I’m fully MID.
Do the Fragment colorways have the dream cell insoles as well? Also my wrapping skills are comically bad. My wife laughs at her poorly wrapped presents every year
This was my most highly anticipated shoe of the year. But I have all but sold the majority of my sneakers, and I'm just not sure I really want to grab these. They still fit in what it is that I have left, but I just don't have that itch to buy them sneakers anymore.
I’m good on these. I’m on the New Balance/ASICS train… and I don’t plan on getting off anytime soon. Even Saucony is destroying Nike these day’s.✌🏻Nike!
I was super curious why you were so excited for a non basketball shoe. As always you have explained it eloquently. Now I am excited to try these. QOTD: Was there ever a time you had to sell something you didn’t want to because you had to? Did you ever rebuy said item?
I have an older retro pair but i kinda dont like them because it fits tight in the toes. Cuahiom is comfortable but the fit is what makes me not like them
Chris- quick tech correction… the Spiridon doesn’t have full length zoom air, it’s only in those 4 pods and the outsole rubber is actually covering it. The Spiridon 2 and Zoom Miler have “caged” zoom air hence the plastic cage it’s contained in. 😊
It was fully explained that the outsole rubber is covering the Zoom Air. Caged Zoom uses TPU caging to lessen the load of impact on the Zoom bag, however, this article claims this shoe used “caged Zoom” cultedge.com/nike-air-zoom-spiridon-history/
Btw, when were these released? Because the connected Zoom units caged inside the outsole reminds me of Reebok DMX. Edit: Just finished watching the vid and noticed you mentioned DMX lol.
Im 33. Married. 2 kids, 5 and 3. My wife is so bad at wrapping gifts i have to do them all. Im good at it. I dont like doing it but idk, i make that shit look good
I remember in 97-99 you could find these in ross all throughout the bay for $34.99 good times but today for $170 ill keep my eye out for when they hit the outlets
@@ogblacc5107 pretty sure these will make the rack! I still love mine
Yes Sir...
Everytime I see old Nike running shoes I have flashbacks of being in JC Penny with a $100 budget. 😭
Can not be more excited. I’ve never had these and wanted them since they were new. One of my good friends had them when they first released, and then got that first retro, and both times I was in love. Hoping to get them this time 🤞🏻
Wrapping skills negative a million.
Jody: enjoy these bloopers
Chris: !!!…no!
“Beep” “thressher, tressser, tressor..” 😂

3:00 ”full length zoom air unit” thats all i wanted to hear!!! Getting me some spiridons
Chris saying "don't put any of this in there" is like an immediate signal to Jodi to put in bloopers for our enjoyment
Maybe he should try some reverse psychology? haha
Wild that these fit true to size. The last pair I bought felt like a whole size bigger. I have to crank my laces so they don’t pop off
Spiridon fan over here. This shoe reminds me of high school. As much as I love the air max 97s, I've always preferred the spiridon.

I ran cross country and track in high school. "It's been 84 years".. I remember these!
loved these back in the day, can't wait to get my hands on these.
My gift wrapping skills are so bad that I don't wrap at all anymore, I just buy fancy bags to hide it 😂
These look sooooo good. And hearing about the tech makes me want to try them even more. I just snagged the Fragments, but debating getting the OG pair as well. That metallic red hits hard.
Love the Spiridon line. Light and cushiony Some models are on sale too
Alwaye loving your detailed reviews.❤
Got'Em back in 2016. Still Stellar and holding up - VNDS ❤
All Red Nike Box then.
Also, have the Black and Gold Pair with the Gold Swoosh.

Yessir. Final grail 💳 frfr. 🙃👍🏼
My gift wrapping skills, 7/7.5. I much prefer gift bags though. 🙃
Old school DMX shoes were crazy comfortable! 💪
I love these. I can still remember my wonderment when I first saw the implementation of Zoom Air on the spiridon. Just like Chris, I have always wanted to try it. It always blew my mind.
probably a 2 on the wrapping skills. Thanks for the info on these cool to learn about
So comfortable and responsive, one of my all time favorite Nikes. I have 2 pairs from the last time they dropped. An all-time classic!
For the Algorithm
For the algorithm
For the algorithm!!
For the algorithm!!!
Hurrah.
I'm like Chris. I CANNOT wrap or gift bag either. I jokingly tell people that my 2 year old cousin did it, and they believe it. That's how bad it is.
I'ma have to try a pair on next time I go o Nike outlet. I've seen them, reasonable priced. I can wrap a gift, 9
Just hit on the Fragment pair! I’m ready for the OGs!!!
Weartesters, you HAVE TO review the Jordan 12 and Solefly collab!! Such a fire release and the details are sick!! Really well executed ! Happy to have a pair for sure !
I love bloopers.
Thanks for the info on these! Now I know the history, and knowing is half the battle 😂. Also, I’m with Chris on the gift bags - I’m terrible with them!
I had a pair of these back in the day. Got em at Ross!
Awesome shoe! 👍🏾…My wrapping skills are trash. My wife won’t let me near the gifts anymore 😂
excited to see these on shelves, nike retro running is lowkey on a good run rn
One word:need! 🔥🔥🔥
Got the Fragments 🤙🏾Solid sneaker and review as always 👍🏾
My gift wrapping skills are trash. I'll give myself a 1 on my best day
Haha I am also in the negative category of wrapping! Struggle is real for us guys
I've been practicing a lot. I'm probably a 7.5 on wrapping gifts now. Lol
ZOOM AIR>>>
I'm with Chris. My wrapping skills are -30 easy!
that ending got me! wkwkk *NO!* -- beep
My wrapping is a 5.
I'm a great gift giver, terrible gift wrapper.
At this point my signature 'wrap' is reusing cardboard shipping boxes my sneakers come in and then writing personal notes on them in sharpie. Has worked out well the past few years
I have been waiting on these! These were my first loss on SNKRS. 😂😂😂 Hope my luck changes on Friday!
8:30 A lotta HUH?! 😂😂😂
nice review chris! i love how much you thoroughly inspect every shoe, i was looking into this and luckily they go under retail
The Spiridon is classic dad shoe. Will be interesting to see if these get love this time around. Wrapping skills for me are about a 5 on a scale to 10. I’m fully MID.
I own the Parra collab in the spiridon… as much as I love them aesthetically, some sneakers just aren’t wide foot friendly
What a great end to the video. True love right there
Got the fragment ones this morning!
So hyped for these!
Still have my 2016 and they still look fresh. Will be getting another pair if I can. They also look better with thicker laces
These so fire..always loved them and had them on feet
Do the Fragment colorways have the dream cell insoles as well?
Also my wrapping skills are comically bad. My wife laughs at her poorly wrapped presents every year
Man, I really miss the OG DMX. Best under-foot feeling ever.
my favorite nike shoe and only one I will wear. tbh I need to get another pair. sold mine a few years ago. you can legit feel those air bags in these.
Really excited about these shoes. 🎉
And my gift wrapping is stellar
This is sick, always wanted a pair
Σπυρίδων Λούις as is written in Greek!
These are a must
This was my most highly anticipated shoe of the year. But I have all but sold the majority of my sneakers, and I'm just not sure I really want to grab these. They still fit in what it is that I have left, but I just don't have that itch to buy them sneakers anymore.
Holding out for these to release.
Zoom inspired by DMX is insane innovative behavior, Nike in 2024 would never 🫠
I’m good on these. I’m on the New Balance/ASICS train… and I don’t plan on getting off anytime soon. Even Saucony is destroying Nike these day’s.✌🏻Nike!
👍🏾 gonna cop this time at the outlet lol
They have a part two to this shoe. Check it out it looks even more insane
I was super curious why you were so excited for a non basketball shoe. As always you have explained it eloquently. Now I am excited to try these.
QOTD: Was there ever a time you had to sell something you didn’t want to because you had to? Did you ever rebuy said item?
Looks sick af 🔥
Great colorway!
I really need these
These look dope. I have 12/10 wrapping skills and it’s a gift and curse. Wrapping gifts for everyone else.
Did you pick up the fragment spiridons??
Man MFing legendary shoe 🙏🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥
Praying these hit outlets
Chris sounded like Little Nicky. 😂
Algi comment! Living life to the fullest!
I have an older retro pair but i kinda dont like them because it fits tight in the toes. Cuahiom is comfortable but the fit is what makes me not like them
Far too narrow
Such a great shoe.
Also, I wonder how much more comfortable they are than the VOMERO?
The first vapormax. Lol
"I'm serious" that made her put the bloobers in
Cool looking sneakers
Chris- quick tech correction… the Spiridon doesn’t have full length zoom air, it’s only in those 4 pods and the outsole rubber is actually covering it. The Spiridon 2 and Zoom Miler have “caged” zoom air hence the plastic cage it’s contained in. 😊

Hopefully I can grab one
SB PS8 please and thank you
Definitely gunna have to see bout coppin a pair. Look so dope and comfortable 👍🏾💯
So cool!
Btw, when were these released? Because the connected Zoom units caged inside the outsole reminds me of Reebok DMX.
Edit: Just finished watching the vid and noticed you mentioned DMX lol.
Which one is better the Vomero 5 or the Spiridon.
It’s a dope shoe I fucks with it a lot, but what happens to the zoom when you but through the rubber, what’s protecting it🤔
Im 33. Married. 2 kids, 5 and 3. My wife is so bad at wrapping gifts i have to do them all. Im good at it. I dont like doing it but idk, i make that shit look good
Clean shoe
Air Max TL or these ? Which is more comfortable
My gift wrapping skills are -0
Is your Sarina 2 Nike by You pair inspired by these?
Chris explained in the Sabrina 2 By You video what they were inspired by.
@ guess I have selective hearing. 😆 my fault
Christ on Trassssher 😅
Very good shoe!
