What Do You Think Transplanting Classic Colorways from Air Fo

When adidas first announced the return of the Marathon 85 back in July, we saw three Nike Free Run 3.0 V3 colorways to be released during the third quarter.  The Deep Lake and Legend Ink pairs hit within two weeks, so what ever happened to that third style?  Just sneaking in at the end of the FA13 season is this orange adidas Originals Marathon ’85, a classic distance runner that might have you thinking ‘ING, NYC’ thanks to blue accents.  Enjoy more of the old school goodness in additional images below, then lace up a pair at shops like SNS.

 

The golden age of sneaker colorways on retro models came during the early 2000s when Nike’s two 80′s born silhouettes (the Air Force 1 and Dunk) were the undisputed champs of the sneaker game. The Air Force 1 Low in particular owns a bulk of the credit for sparking the collector craze, giving the Dunk (in Pro and SB form) the opportunity to create a string of inspired colorways on its own. Interestingly enough, the Dunk and the Air Force 1 Low never really crossed paths, but rather ascended on parallel routes as the Air Force 1 was more “street” while the Dunk was more “skate”; that explains the strange tendency of sticking with one or Air Max 90 Men another, although there are plenty out there that showed both models some love.
