What's good people? I'm Linus Nutland, Founder of Nike Server, an online shop and archive specializing in obscure Nike footwear. Today we're going to be talking about the Sunder, I've got a few pairs behind me, all different eras, so yeah let's get into it. So this first pair that we've got is from...

...2001, which is the final year they manufactured this. It's a Japan-exclusive colourway, which also came with a Footscape. We've got the maze pattern on the back, and the numbers on the tongue '6453', which spells out 'Nike' on a keypad. Next up...

...we've got the rather cute Baby Sunders, this colorway is the Sunset colorway which I actually had as a baby, as you can see in this picture. This colorway didn't make it into adult sizes, which makes it pretty rare. It's one of the best ones. So the third pair that we've got...

...is the Air Sunder '06. This was a premium model that released eight years after the original release. Really nice leathers, really nice suedes, stitch details, and perforation details. Definitely one of my favourites in my collection. The next pair we've got is the Air Sunder...

...Low, similar to the '06. This released in 1998, and was meant to come back in 2020, but it didn't make the cut in the end. Super popular in London, super popular in the States. The final pair that we've got...

...is the 2022 collaboration between Comme des Garcons. These released in black and white colorways, a bit more simplified, Rei Kawakubo herself suggested that they took the pods off. When this came back, I realised that the Sunder was going to make a proper comeback.

I'm excited to see what's next for the Sunder. I'm Linus Nutland, and this is What I've Got.
