Nike Air Safari 87 Retro
Posted by Alex Kroviak | Sep 18, 2009 The Nike Air Safari 87 made history, introducing a brand new design that we still see 22 years later. In the recent “Decades Pack,” a Hyperize was given the Safari treatment as a tribute to the revolutionary running sneaker. Tributes are a great way to pay homage to this Nike, but the best way is with a 2009 Retro release for the holiday season.
The Safari will drop in two colors–the OG orange/black/safari, and a newer grey/black/safari. One detail that’s changed is the stitching. On the OG model, all the stitching was done in black, whereas the retro features yellow threads, highlighting the swoosh against the matching black upper. On the other colorway, grey safari print is used and the stitching is done in bright orange, matching its outsole. Click here to see pics of both pairs. |

NOT THE HUGEST RUNNING SHOE FAN BUT THESE AND THE WIND RUNNERS ARE MY FAVORITES. LOVE THE LATE 80′S STYLING ON RUNNING SHOES. TOO CLASSIC.

This must be part of that Neon Pack that nike is putting out, all the old running silhouettes with a neon yellow bit tying them together.

the 87 safari’s are some of my favs. i have the brown and tan joints when they first retroed years back but the contrasting stitching is gross. i can’t do it.
