Are there any plans to ever release them as a regular release later on in the future?
Tinker: "No. To preserve the value of what people will spend for these shoes and the money that will — and hopefully, again, that’ll be as much as we can get for each shoe, so the amount of money to charity is the most we can come up with — In order to preserve that, we’re not going to re-release this shoe and we’re not going to commercialize it any further. What you will see, though, probably sometime in the future is that there will be some– this shoe has already helped inspire some unique design features on some new shoes and we are committed to designing shoes in the future that do come alive and do sense your body and do certain things, so this is a precursor to the future of probably all athletic shoes we design."
IF they release them, part of me will be a little excited, but ONLY if the original owners get a pair extremely cheap to offset the value drop of the 2011s. I WILL go legal on Nike with those statements if they go back on their word and would suggest all other owners do too.
I think they're just creating hype personally. They'll release a scaled down/smaller version of the Mags, or perhaps even just normal trainers with power laces and they will work like Blak Bevins design and not as cool as the film with sound effects etc.
