Max Orange AM90 09

[mike2389]

i might get these since they're the closest thing to infrared's.

 

[packersgotme]

 

[snearkearcollector]

looks simple and dope i like it

 

[freshkicks95]

Give us the real deal Nike.

 

[sukwonee]

Can't pinpoint what it is,,,, but something doesn't look right... not bad though.

 

[grymg]

One of the more simple 1 palette colorways and still hate? Damn.

 

[soleaddict34]

a few color swaps here and there and I think it looks better. course the materials are still wrong especially the mesh...

 

[im cool c]

looking like they're dying to get creased.

 

[cubsfan455]

when is it suppose to drop?

 

[kevineg6]

too infrared wanna be. but its clean though.

 

[ryda421]

these and the blues are very good

 

[esspee1200]

really kool looking color. been awhile the last time i said that...

 

[registered]

material looks cheap and looks like a fake infrareds.

 

[bigred33]

gimme a suede overlay and the same shade of mx orange they put on the skylines and i'd cop

 

[infinite04]

knot feelin these....sticking to the 95's this year

 

[L7oser]

IMO these are great. Materials bein cheap is expected from Nike. I wont be wearing these shoes to run track in (and neither will 90% of u) so thats not a bigdeal. Slap sum force fields in to stop the creasing and im good. I dont get y yall complain so much. These r not the Infrareds so y whine about no greymudguard n more of an "infrared" color? And the Laser Blues didnt have a grey mudguard but those r grail status to most people on here. If i put"JD exclusive AM90" as the title to this thread then every1 would be like "y does Euro get all the nice colorways"

 

[prurientsole]

I should really stop expecting better from Nike.

Decent colorway, but the materials looks to be @$!%.

Like plenty of other people have said, I'll attempt to pick up a pair once they go on sale.

 

[hugo]

ugly

 

[jibbycanoe]

if they were actually orange and had some grey I'd cop

 

[nycknicks105]

They look alright, but idk if i would spend money on them.

 

[dellibedaboss]

Ehhh, got enuff of this exact colorway, i'll pass..... but drops to sumthin crazy like 20-30 on Swoosh, then u my play my hand on these! lol

 

[bigred33]

i think the reason why a lot of us are comparing these to the infrareds is because the "mx orange" on them looks a lot like the "infrared"color you see on the fake Am90 infrareds people sell on ebay.
the good thing is, at least these dont have the all white midsole you see on those turq/rave pink am90's that released earlier.

edit
and these don't even come close to the MX orange AM 90 released back in '01

It really does. These look like they will chip and crack if you stare at them for too long,

LOL! For real though. All of my 90s over the past year to two years have chipped after one or two wears. Sad.

Exactly. My faith has been shaken too.

subtle color placement is key. and has been key since the beginning. Tinker knew and exploited it to its finest in the original releases. ive saidit in other threads but you truly cant steer too far away from the og c/w's or you may get some questionable "crap".

laser blues were an original 1990 colorway retroed for the first time via a Jd sports exclusive. THATS why its a grail.. that shoe features some subtle colorplacement. Close to the infrared model but slightly different.. Just look at soleaddicts photoshop and thats your ideal max orange am90 retro c/w:

vs. OG c/w retro:

now imagine the laser blue c/w in a color scheme that we see from this max orange release.. we would get:

but wait Nike has already done their rendition of their "close enough is good enough" camp:

Subtle changes can work but often times they do not.

Close but still ultimately wrong. one to two small miscues can have some

type effects

ehh..not feeling them. my max orange on my skylines look a lot closer to infrared than these do.
