What do we call this Nike one? Is it Ultraviolet/Black?What other purple Apple bands do you favor?
What a find! possibly one of the rarest sealed bands you could hope for.
Be careful with it, many band folk report that, like real grapes, if you break the seal and leave it out, it'll go bad and colors will fade! I can't attest to that as I've only ever had a used one.
So I actually have both a very lightly used Hyper Grape and a "bruised" one. You can see the difference, but without the side by side, it's not as evident. The colors on the new one just look a lot fresher.Wish I knew that when I bought one right before it went EOL (and have used it at times off and on for years)
Feels like Magic Ember took this band’s spot, which is kind of annoying because we had a “big ember” alreadyLime Blast/Midnight(?) rejected colorway for the Fall 2023 lineup. Notice the Nike sustainability etching on the pin that didn't make it to retail and the lack of color flecks in the secondary black color. Neat!

Yeah this would have been more magic ironically. Oh well.Feels like Magic Ember took this band’s spot, which is kind of annoying because we had a “big ember” already
A reseller in the UK had about 30 of them (unboxed) a while back. I think that pretty much killed the desirably of it over here.Im kind of over Ultra Violet actually. I mean sure, it's "rare" but really that just means expensive. There's a ton out there on resell markets.
Personally I don't care for sealed bands, either. There's no point in having (or especially paying extra for) sealed bands you won't wear.
Yeah same exact thing happened with Marine Green too right? I remember it being almost unfindable then someone in the UK ended up with like 25 or so. Now all the collectors who wanted one have one, and it's only going for $30-40ish on resell.A reseller in the UK had about 30 of them (unboxed) a while back.

Yep. Happened with a few older ones, even some harder to find Nikes. I think the fabled Boney Nike is the only one that hasn't popped up in mass now!Yeah same exact thing happened with Marine Green too right?

(The smaller 40mm is the used one.)

haha nice. Got pics?This is the band I wore every day for 4+ years on my S4 until I got the Ultra 2. Love it to death but mine is closer to "Hyper Raisin" at this point.
****trigger warning****haha nice. Got pics?
I actually really love this. Deciding whether or not to trash a band shouldn't come from its rarity, rather how much you love it. I'm glad there are people out there who feel no need to keep it locked up in a cabinet!This thing is roached... I had no idea this was a rare or desired band. I just knew I loved it and it was comfy.
Haha, thanks. I may try and clean it up a bit for the first time ever... I remember a couple years ago I started looking for a replacement but I actually liked how it looked all faded with the green less noticeable.I actually really love this.

Looks great!
I know the leather links are pretty good at holding together, but I'd be afraid of it poppin off my ultra / wrist to be honestHaha, thanks. I may try and clean it up a bit for the first time ever...

Changed my mind and got this bad boy which I finally found tonight(Dark Cherry Leather Link). No idea of it's rarity (and after reading through this thread and some of the insanely cool and obviously rare, even one-offs I highly doubt it's worthiness here) but I only wore it a couple times then packed it away and kept rocking my Hyper Raisin.
I am digging it on my Ultra 2 though...
It feels pretty secure, but after sleeping in it I have switched back to my Alpine Loop for daily wear. I am either working from home in super casual clothes or I am out on business trips in a suit, so the leather bands are getting reserved for when I actually maybe have a button down or belt or even jeans lol.I know the leather links are pretty good at holding together, but I'd be afraid of it poppin off my ultra / wrist to be honest
