Strange Nike Hybrid?

I came across this pair on eBay, and my attention was caught by the air max 87 uppers and the air max bw mid sole

i really don’t have an idea what these are… the following explanation of the seller only confuses me more:

these shoes are made by Nike, and are a size Mens 9 (The tag on the tongue says 11, but it is blacked out because they are actually a size 9 as the sole insert sticker says)….

this all indicates that these could be a sample or some kind of homemade hybrid..
anybody got an idea? Found the answer here!

    this pair could be fake, the quality of connections beetwen leather pieces aren’t satisfying enough

    I stumbled across these once as well. They were def. an early omen of things to come. Have you seen the old 87/90 hybrid as well?

    they were made of the surplus of parts or B-grade parts and consumed by the employees and families,not fake but not regular.
    they are irregular products.

    But in late 1980s and early 1990s,
    there were hybrid products through proper channels.
    For exsample,the model,AM1’s upper + AM90’s sole was Air Max (Plus)Leather SC.

    the style number and color code of those pairs are correct.
    I think they were made of the surplus of regular parts.
