Japan Exclusive today, one of the simplest yet most sought-after silhouettes among Nike OG collectors. 

This model screams '90s! From its sharp shape and lightness to its colorways, the 1991 Men's Run is one of the most coveted models. There are five versions, from the MR-1 to the MR-5. The latter and the fourth are, in my opinion, the best. As I've mentioned in previous posts, it was an Asian-exclusive model, which, along with the women's version, the LR (Ladies Run) and KR (Kids Run), formed part of a line called "School Attack," circa 1988-1991 (production years). 

Someday we'll complete the line; there's no rush... just perseverance. Everything comes in its due time. And, of course, if you're patient, you'll find it at a good price, as was the case here. Thanks to Takahiro for his kindness and excellent service. Also, thanks for the information about these models. 🇯🇵✨️

CHR-BLK/MET 

Today, detailed photos of this rare model, exclusive
to the Japanese market. Nike Mr-4 from 1990, in black, charcoal, metallic silver. A basic running shoe made of EVA, suede, mesh, and a rubber outsole. Indestructible, after a 35-year in box, it remains intact, deadstock and factory-laced. The only notable defect is the material of the swoosh and the logo on the back, synthetic material that stiffens over time and cracks at the slightest movement (last slide video). 

This MR line, Men's Run, was launched in 1988, starting with the Mr-1 and ending with the Mr-5 in 1991/1992. These models are difficult to find, especially in these conditions. Of all of them, the most popular is the Mr-5 a grail for OGcollectors. 
Theres also LR (lady run) and KR (kids Run). Check the slides and let me know which Mr model you like most. 🫡

Here we have the selection I talked about in  previous post. 🇯🇵 Japan Exclusive models. This document is gold. I've spent a lot of time searching for these pages, all thanks to Marco, @lo_sneakerista who eventually realized he had this catalog. Today we'll share a fragment of this catalog with you all. I'm sorry for the watermark, but you know how it works. Remember where you saw it first 👀

First, Nike Mr-V, second, Nike Vigor, and finally, LR-2. Running models from 1991, exclusive to the Asian market. Affordable and simple pairs, made of polypag, EVA, and solid rubber soles. Some made in Thailand and others in Indonesia.

I've added a few photos of Mr-V on the feet of various friends, all credited and tagged.

I also want to talk about the Vigor and the LR-2. As we all know, in the 90s, Nike launched the same model, but depending on the target market (region)  the name, materials, and other details changed.

In this case, Nike Vigor (Asian market) would be Nike Gaunlet in the USA/Europe,  with the only difference being that the Gaunlet had a heel stabilizer.
In the case of the LR-2, in the western market, it would be the Nike CoreJogger with a change in the materials, but same design. Special mention to @wuodar_ for selling me his at a good price 👊

In conclusion, of the entire selection shown, the most exclusive was and is the Mr-v, with no variations in the West. It's a highly sought-after pair, and usually not cheap.

Never found what Mrv stood for, maybe our
Japanese friends know something? @ysk_4_2_7
@kicksosaka_official @redref17 @80sdgs @nikeotc Any info is appreciated 🙏 Arigato!

Salute to my brother Jean Ly  he would have enjoyed this post, his account was hacked. @ sneakersian 

I'll be doing separate posts comparing Gaunlet/Vigor and LR2/CoreJogger in the future.
