Nike Air Zoom Total90

 

Yeah and black/orange. Made famous by Edger Davids.

 

They should do mate, you're looking for an M5 thread but i think most are the same size

 

Cheers, I've ordered the professional studs off of pro direct so hopefully they'll fit

 

Yeah, I think you're right Jorma. The soleplate is the basic one. So there was the top level ones and these ones? Was there another level, as they do now with the Shoot, Strike, and Lasers?

I also actually have some other Zoom Airs which have a basic soleplate but look exactly the same as the top level ones. I'll post some pics now.

 

Here are the ones I mentioned.
What's the model here?

 

But look at the soleplate. The green ones are basic, so not the top level right?

 

Yep, those are definitely the take-down model of the AZT90. I know because I had them as well when I was a kid - you can tell by the bulkyness of the upper (more foamy inner lining) and because the high-end one has a darker gradient around the Nike swoosh than the low-end one. I only know of one take-down model, but there have probably been more price-points just like today.

@bootking @JayMike-DK is right i think there were two tiers and the ones with the standard screw ins were the lower tier. The 'fixed' studs were the top tier and always should have air zoom total 90 on the tongue if its a 2nd generation pair.

 

wouldn't you like to know

 

More or less. Until that point I had only used them on hardwood floors. One day it just started peeling at the toe, i thought I would just pick off that little part and it was off from the whole front. The paint is rubbing off on other places too. Doesn't bother me too much now, but still annoying for a 90 dollar shoe.

 

You have an Air Zoom Total 90 II in the black/grey. That was the top tier version of the AZT line at the time and is generally regarded an all time top performing boot. It had KNG-100 as the upper (which is comparable to HybridTouch on the NC 1.0) and Zoom Air built into the outsole not insole. It also had a no tongue system (the only one that has ever worked). Th retail model had the InterTract FG outsole and the fixed SG 6 stud outsole.

The black/yellow is the Air Zoom 90. It had a KNG-75 (see what they did there?) upper and a Zoom Air insole with heel Air. Neither outsole was not Zoom Air-ed but the FG model had the InterTract plate and the SG had the standard Nike SG template you see here.

Interesting side note....as well regarded as the AZTII is, it was heavily modified in the pro ranks. Many pros had the AZT I's features built into the upper, namely a working tongue (Figo, Totti, and Carlos were three big players with this feature and in SG many players opted for the outsole seen on the take down model. I would assume this is because they wanted to vary their stud options and probably didn't trust the life span of a fixed metal tip.

 

I'm confused....are you referring to the AZT II in the other post or the AZT I in the above quoted post? The AZT I you show is the top of the range....Made in Italy and KNG-100 tags show on the AZT I as well as the high gloss of the Touch Control coating.

 

Sorry - I was referring to the AZT90 I take-downs that Bootking posted above me. He just managed to post his AZT90 IIs before I finished typing my reply to his first one.
And yeah, my point with the image was to show the difference in the gradient from the low-end to the high-end model of the first generation of the AZT90. It's darker around the swoosh on the AZT90 I than on the take-down model, hence the top-down view to get a proper look Not my image, mind.

 

Thanks for such a great answer. This is why I love this forum
So the take down model, ACTUALLY wasn't a piece of crap, like the Shoot is today, compared to the Laser. They actually had some good stuff in them?

ps. If the FG take down model has the same Intertract soleplate as the Top end model, how can I tell the difference? I have a few pairs of the FG but assumed they were all the top end ;(

 

Metal tips on the studs is probably the easiest thing to spot!

 

I don't think the lower model FG had the same sole plate , if i remember it was different material (more rubber like) & you could say the shape of the studs weren't as defined as on the top model.
Pains me to read about these & see these pics.......i had a pair of these (obsidian/white cw)

& before i joined here & learned abit more about boots & this soleplate, I used these as a tester for a doing a mixed sole
Removed some of the studs & wasn't sure about drilling the holes so i just chucked then out!!

 

@colinstu310 Oh my, i cant believe you chucked them out!! I do have a pair as you pictured in a size uk9.5 that i happened to stumble on.
Youre right on the soleplate the material makeup was different but the stud pattern was essentially the same and as Dr boots said the lower tier didnt have the air in the outsole.
@Dr. Boots is also right on the sg plate as most pro's hated the fixed studs even though they were narrower than the mercurial version.
I've attached a picture of the air zoom brasilia that had the 'non air' outsole but still had the intertract style stud layout, then the top tier boot where you can see the air pockets in the forefoot and heel.

 

got these today
i can´t describe the quality of the leather of the legend V, totally amazing.

 

A mutual friend of mine is selling his GS Concept II. But his tags don't match up next to my real pair.

Here is his tag on the left, and mine is on the right.

Dates are different ( no issue right?)

UPC is different plus the numbers on the left.

 

Both of the pairs I have match the 579796-101 tag including date

 

It depends on the take down version....there was a decent one that was like $90.00ish vs. the $145.00 top of the range model. Below the $90.00ish version there was a totally crap model that had a rubber like outole. That was a clunker. Yours is the level below top of the range.
