^that is a wild drop off. It’s literally a cliff

I wonder if it was a mistake and they just said **** it lol no way they cut them that way on purpose

On the Air Max? They stayed that way for like 5 years. It was definitely on purpose.

 

[jshortt]

Both of those am1 are from 2017. The top one is gs, bottom is adult. See the 3.26 on the gs tongue, it was an air max day release.

Either way man. You know they looked like that for 5 years.

Oh they were bad from 2010-early 2017, was just pointing out you used a gs version from 2017, not 2012 as you posted.

I wish Nike would just go to unisex sizing and drop the gender part completely, but in absence of that, if they are going to have "men's" shoes, they should have "women's" too. Women can buy a man's shoe and a man can buy a woman's shoe but it would be dumb to just target all shoes to men and tell women to deal with it. I do think they need to have more standardized sizing though. Hell there have been multiple fire am1 I wanted this year that stopped at women us10, not the usual womens us12.

Seperate sizing for womens and mens anything, and vanity sizing in clothing is ridiculous. I wish we could just go to unisex sizing like the UK sizing.

Ahh, so I shouldn't enter the raffle through AMM due to their slow shipping? lol

Never said that nor did I imply it. If people want them then they should do what they feel is necessary to acquire them.

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

White ones for me

 

[doublemesh96]

The 23 almost ruins it for me but still cop

 

[frenchbreadbuilds]

Maybe its just me, but im unbothered by this toe. Maybe the thick toe box pairs are GS sizes?

 

[Davey Magoo]

I feel like some of you complain about the designs on your own NBYs.

...just to complain about something.

"The yellow midsole just ruins it for me."

Um...that was your design.

What's vanity sizing?

 

[brusie j]

Anyone got a stock number on both? Or own any they usually drop in there releases ?

 

[mkj]

omg they charging a fee to enter the raffle - lol ill just buy below retail on goat a month from now

 

[mkj]

Yea I get it. The raffles were a massive pain for the stores so they outsourced it to EQL, who doesn't do it for free, so they have a charge now. Knowing only the winners have to pay it, it's whatever to me.

what a lame excuse - crocs uses EQL and they don’t change a fee

Your hard on for all things Whittaker Group is hilarious.

It's new:

We’re introducing a Run Fair® Fee

The reason we started EQL is because we wanted to create a level playing field to get the products we’re passionate about, and we felt that didn’t exist yet.

At least it is only for winners

Having to pay an "L" tax would be crazy.

It shouldn’t be for winners or losers. NO ONE should be ok with this.

The fee is high to me but I'm cool with $1-2 if someone can actually filter all the bot entries out. A 3rd party isn't going to do that for free and it's too much to ask for a store to do over and over and over.

I don’t necessarily have a problem with A fee but i dont think it should be a percentage of the retail price. It should be a standardized flat fee.

Men over size 10.5 can't buy women's shows thats the thing. TO your point I`m saying mens but I`m just saying drop gendered show sizing for athletic sneakers and just use the Mens scale as the baseline (since it already is). I`m sure there is enough data out there where finding the right product size ratios shouldn't be that difficult in 2023.

Like for example the Satin 1s weren't inclusive as a women's shoe, and its based on a "mens" shoe so why shouldn't men have the opportunity to buy?

I don't disagree. I'd just make it the EU sizing, all mm, instead of going with "mens" sizing. Just drop all gender and go with measurements. Fwiw some men's shoes start at size 8 so a lot of women get shut out. My wife wears a men's 7 for example and she can't buy shoes that start at men's 8.

doublemesh96 already nailed it, but the tip is damn near straight up and down on these. There should be more material and it should taper back a little bit instead of just falling straight off. Nike got REALLY bad with the Air Max 1 before "remastering" them and getting things back to a more normal shape.

Air Max 1 circa 2012:

Air Max 1 30th Anniversary Remaster:

EDIT:

There. More cliff toes circa 2012. Is that better dblplay1212 ?

Oof I see your point. It’s like a cliff! No sleek or slope to it.

 

[pauper8]

is the photo more llimited than the black?

What's vanity sizing?

Vanity sizing is the labeling of clothing with a size smaller than the actual cut of the items. In other words, your size 34 might actually be a size 36, or larger. This is done to make the customer feel better about themselves and to make them buy more clothing.

 

[allergic2broke]

Will go for the black pair. If I hit, great. Otherwise I'll be cool.

 

[aepps20]

I've never needed a White more than I need these.
