I remember the silver and red (men's) and silver and blue (women's) that were marketed by Michael Johnson-- Nike Zoom Spiridons with the Zoom air on the sole. There were also the grey and green Nike Air Maxes from '95. Can't picture anything else that was grey and green. Where's that Nike Genealogy website when you need it!

Hi everyone,

I had an awesome pair of running shoes when I was in college and I'm trying to figure out what their model name was. It was ~Spring 1997 and the shoes were neon green/grey. I think they were classified as a lightweight soon and were Zoom Streak/Zoom Swift or something like that with a really cool waffle bottom. I can't seem to find a picture of them anywhere except some of my old photo's. Can anybody figure out what they were...and possible a picture. I've looked high and low for them and have failed.

Nope, they have a weird rainbow thing on the heel. I did have that version of the streak though...size 11.5. I never liked the feel of them.

I'd post a photo, but the shoes are barely visible.

Is the nike genealogy of speed still available? I can't seem to access or find it anywhere.

Oh wow, that's the shoe my spouse wore in the early 2000s in the marathon. I didn't realize they came out in '97.

They came out around the time of the air converge triax. I remember wearing a worn out pair while shopping for the new pair.

Are you talking about the Nike Air Swift Triax?

Forgot about those. Thanks for sharing!

I have a pair of those Talarias in my closet right now. They seem heavy compared to shoes these days.

Hey, I too am trying to remember the name of pair of racing flats. They were Nike's, mostly white with a little purple/blue and red in them. I think the swish was purple/blue and had a real thin sole. Have googled everyting and can't find a pic of the.

They had the japanese logo on the tongue too.. bought around 1997.... anyone have any idea?

Air Pegasus Racer

Nah not the Pegasus racer... Had a pair of those too, the bright yellow version...

Probably the Air Streak Lite:
