For AM95s it was sometime between 2005 and 2006 or the experimenting with smaller air units (while keeping the seam) may have happened as early as2001? Some AM95 SCs from 1999 have air units that look like twice the size of the air unit on a 2004 model...

is the air bubble that important???

when the shoe is called "air griffey MAX" and as a retro shows up like "griffey MIN" its definitely a problem....

@ griffey MIN. i had the royal blues and the black/teals when they originally released. who cares about the bubble, these will take me back to '97

I'll take that bet. Who'll be wearing the retros.

whoever has the OGs will be barefoot with just the uppers around the top and sides of their feet.

Technically these were never released to the public... but I hear ya... those are

... the white outsole and swoosh makes such a huge difference.

Both from auctions...

But like mentioned in the other Griffey thread... would I prefer bigger bubbles? of course, but I'm pretty sure its not gonna happen. the fact is thatI've been waiting too long for these...

definitely not, they look soo small in that pic, thought they were fakes...ill get over it tho, ill cop w/ the discount

 

[diddydadagger]

people arent just going to be wearing the air bubble but whatever. i see what the complaint is, it doesnt matter to me but i thing the Griffey midsole reallydiminishes the air unit.

 

[dathbgboy]

I want em, but doubt I'll actually cop. That's been the story of my life the past 5 months or so

 

[the r0yal family]

@ the baby bubbles

 

[soulcollector1]

I'm feeling em despite the smaller Air units...

The midsole material isn't even right either, it looks like it was painted with glossy whiteout or something.

Exactly, it amazes me how a lot of these consumers will buy anything regardless of its quality. Too the smart *#! with the Air Max mesh comment

.

 

[dunqrico]

Still copping despite small bubble...that's irrelevant imo.

 

[kingjay718]

I love the smaller air bubbles.
