Nike Air Trainer III (Medicine Ball)

UPDATE: We're happy to keep bumpin' these beauties till the day of release. Even more enticing images rolling in ahead of the December 26 drop date. Wish ATL is your source.

UPDATE: The good news, thanks to Packer Shoes, our tighty whities just got a little bit moist from these updated photos of the Medicine Balls – real talk! The bad-ish news, the release date will be December 26 – the day after Christmas. Time to start saving those pennies people.

We haven't seen the classic '88 Air Trainer III 'Medicine Ball' colourway (or the 'Mookie' depending on how serious you take your pop culture references) since 2009, but Nike will squeeze in a re-release before the year's end. The 2014 rendition sports a similar look to the original with a smooth brown and white leather upper, rubberised overlays and strap with navy accents. If you're not familiar with the model, check out the gallery above and keep your eyes peeled for them dropping on December 13th.
