Every once in a while the Retro AZG pops up on eBay reminding us what it would be like if the first LeBron sneaker was retro’ed. I just really hope that once Nike decides to “refresh” the Air Zoom Generation they won’t forget about this special colorway. Fans seem to like it too, cause every time they go on sale on the black market they fetch up to one thousand bucks (this time it was $800). Of course utilizing House of Hoops, which wasn’t around back in the day, might be a good idea for some nice energy releases. After all we only got 5 AZG’s including the limited “First Game.” I wonder how would that work. What’s your take? 2006 was definitely too soon, but do you think now it’s time for the first LeBron retro?

too early for a lebron retro. I think they gotta go for another 2 or 3 years before they retro. They gotta continue to prove that the brand is great. This year was def. monumental for that cuz of the 6. They gotta build up the hype a little more.

As for these… it’s a Hummer inspired design so this CW is a HOMERUN for sure! Time to retro? As much as I love the purity of the AZG… I gotta agree with AKOO that it should be a few years yet. Maybe not the 10 year mark but I could see that being a monumental time to bust it out!?!?

They look alright, but what’s up with the camo Soldier 1’s? Those were NICE!!!

I also think its too early for the retro but from a collectors POV, a retro would push the value up of “OG” AZGs…..

[...] Since its release way back when, the Nike Air Zoom Generation has barely seen the light of day. Even though the shoe has proven to be an instant Nike Basketball classic, we haven?t seen any retroes of this shoe. Once in a while, the shoe pops up on spots like eBay as this specific pair did. The Nike Air Zoom Generation Camo Edition Sample sports a white/gold camo colorway. The white toebox is followed by a beige camo colorway which is contrasted by a gold mesh heel panel. The white midsole contrasts the whole shoe to finish off these rare one-of-a-kind?s from LBJ?s signature line. Via NikeLebron. [...]
