Safari collectors, this is the one you’ve been waiting for.

This is the Nike Air Safari VNTG “Bamboo” (2012, 525245-226) in a brand new, never-worn SS sample, tagged 999999999. Only 24 pairs were made, and they aren’t the same shoe as the general release. The upper and lower rear are built from different materials than the retail version, so this pair is a distinct variant, not just a stamped copy.

Safari prints are already some of the most sought-after Nike patterns. A sample pair with its own construction details, in deadstock condition, from a run of 24, is the kind of piece you can’t replace once it’s gone.

Condition

DS (deadstock). Brand new and never worn, as confirmed by the seller. The outsole shown is clean and the insole looks unworn with a size sticker still in place. Flaws visible in the photos: yellowish discoloration on the stitching and edges around the tongue and eyestay area, rough or frayed edges on the toe cap trim, and a cream midsole with an aged tone. Only one outsole is shown in the photos. Please review all photos closely.

Box
No box is shown in the photos.
