I won’t lie, when I cracked open the slide box to these, I was disappointed…

Back in February, I was given the opportunity to mess around at the new NIKEiD Studio in Hong Kong. Among the three models I did was an OG Nike Free 5.0. I based my colorway around the boot that essentially started the “arms race” (aka creating the lightest boot possible) in football, the Nike Mercurial R9 (middle of the page). I had figured the colors were pretty spot on and a light gray would be a good substitue for the OG silver, but yeh… shit just wasn’t the same. Otherwise the shoe came out alright. Check the card to see the difference in color though.

Thanks to Nike HK for the opportunity!
