The Return of the Humara
Look what kicks came back...
Could have been the lime green laces. But you know it's all about the quality with me.
That's why I stopped by Nort in SF a couple of weeks ago, and just had to pick the Humaras back up.
This is my third pair. I picked up my first pair at the Seattle Niketown on the first day of their release in '98.
I proceeded to rip through every trail, park, puddle, in the Bay Area and the West Coast in them. They were the 'Real Deal'. I broke them out in Seattle, tore them up at the Heuco Tanks in El Paso, and I wore them out until the stench from a drenched run on the Marina Green blew out my closet...Tough loss.
After the toss, I went through a couple of trail shoes, but they weren't the same quality of shoe. The Sons of Humara also didn't have a great look.
Yet, I was able to pick up another pair in a re-issue in '02. Great shoe again...
With this release, the shoe seems to be made with different materials. The tread is great. However, I do miss the reflective material on the back and the tongue. You can also tell that the material around the sides are not made with the same tough carbon-like material.
Funny about the releases not utilizing the same material. Check out the laces. The green laces look great, but the original yellow laces were a little bit stronger.
Regardless, after a run last week at Duke Forest, I'm still impressed at the stability and how these shoes perform...Grade A shoe. Grade A performance.
More importantly, thanks for the re-release.
