TEAM AM FAM aka AIR MAX FAMILY THREAD (New Application Process)

[jeffgdula]

As a long time AM lover, I was told it is about time I start posting in this thread, so here goes:

My name is Jeff and I am from Austin, Texas.

I went to TCU for undergrad and try to get every pair of Air Maxes with purple in them (mostly iDs since there aren't enough AMs with purple in them). I wear 11 in most new AMs and 11.5 in the pre-2009 stuff.

I would love to apply for membership, so I will post my collection when I get a chance.

I'm sure alot of you guys know me from the Nike subforum so I would appreciate your approvals.

Hello all............for today:



Cris.

^^^Welcome to the greatest thread on earth Jeff. Nice to see another fellow Texan.

BTW - If you would like to see a plethora of AMs not too far away from where you live, take a drive to San Antonio on April 25 for SA Sneaks Up 4: www.sasneaksup.com)

 

[jeffgdula]

I am a lawyer who wears a suit and tie every day to work, so I don't have nearly as many kicks as I used to and I only get a chance to wear them to games on the weekends or bball games during the week.

I have season football tickets to TCU (#6) and Texas (#2). I have Texas basketball season tickets (just dropped to #6 from #1) and also go to my old high school (Austin LBJ) games (#9 in the state). I mention that since I always wear purple/black kicks to TCU/LBJ games and burnt orange kicks to Texas games. I will put some of these in my collection post.

Most of my contributions will be pick ups and release info. Here are my two latest:

I just need a pic of each box tag.  I'm trying to go Denver's route and recreate boxes for the shoes I don't have the original for.
Any help is much appreciated, as always.  Thanks!

Man, I sat around and thought about it, and thought about it, then I saw Jake's pair, and said to myself *%$# it, i'll keep um, so I cleaned them up, and began to rock them.

CUBAN - SICK SICK SICK set man!!

We'll see

.  Haha, they definitely haven't shown their youth yet, could happen at any point (I've honestly been expecting it to happen before now).  They tend to let people back in the game if they get them down early. But their last game against Arkansas is the first full game they've played and they looked really good (albeit against Arkansas).  I kinda think their youth helps them too, because they came straight outta H.S. riding high and still have that confidence/arrogance going.  I don't care about rankings, I'm just glad they're fun to watch again (NIT last year was not fun  

).  

BTW - those IDs are

.  One of my favorites I've seen, I love simple CWs. 
And just so you know............your sig is appreciated by at least one person

.  Dude is hilarious.

I'll actually be at the game.  I go to the University of South Carolina (where they're playing tonight), so I guess it's pretty obvious who I'll be pulling for.
