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

[zmdawg]

It's my Bday on tuesday.......do I buy these 160382382131.......................Or just go and buy'em when they release? The only 95's I have are the most recent ones so I'm not overly worried about bigbubble/small bubble....just don't know what the overall quality of these is as opposed to what to expect when release in the store. So glad some of the 95's I really like are rereleasing again this year so I don't have to search.

Being back in WI is nuts, figured I'd fly home since I have off of school on Monday.....crazy cold.....wearing AM1 QS to dads first night and his 2 4 foot great danes have demolished'em. Glad I grabbed a 2nd pair from the outlets.

I've never been huge on those ben drurys. But I think these are better

in my oh so honest opinion.
black, white and gray is my new favorite colorway for sneakers

 

[jwdanklefs]

Wow Nice atuff on this page!!!!

Mitch - I like how we are tag teamin that dude on his bogus collection posts... haha

 

[s dubl]

those Stash IDs are sooo dope.

Got my Bluerawas today...very happy with em

 

[dj proto j]

probably one of the last wears i'll get outta these '99 retro's of am95's... they're falling apart mad bad, but i have rocked 'em a lot in these 10 + years... thinking about trying to glue 'em back up, but i got a pair of HOA's on ice, so it's probably gonna be on to the next one (and i'll just pick up a pair or two on the discount releasing this march)...

here's a starter jacket i picked up at freaking walmart that matches perfect, as does this pirates fitted (both have the same color neon, even has reflective parts):

ahh man but once you have a pair, you realize the details/materials make the shoe.  smokey grey translucent soles, super butter soft perf leather toe, thick black suede, the circular stitching on the back, the 3m not just on the mudguard but the tongue tag also, no id can compare to the real drury's IMO.  but the colorway on those iDs is not bad at all. 

eentegra - yeah Andrew pretty much got it right already with the paint. the painting method is just thin coats, one at a time, using a small fine flat tip brush. clean the surface you're painting first.  i paint free hand (no mask), but if you're worried about a steady hand, you can try masking, just be careful if you do, you can accidentally tear the paint off the midsole.  and don't strip off the original paint.  also, this is a good paint method for any foam-based midsole with yellowing/staining, but kep in mind it can still crack and chip just like normal nike paint on models like the am90 that tend to crack easily.  so painting an already heavily cracked/stripped midsole might not solve your problem entirely.

ok fam, i woke up randomly at 4am for no good reason.  time to go back to sleep.

What is with everyone not knowing 1) why they are up or 2) what they did last night?

One of my friends posted how she woke up on her couch today, has no recollection what she did last night, but noticed she sent a flurry of texts

. On top of all that, her car was neatly parked in front of her apartment...

Is President's Day weekend THAT serious?

Justin, while you are on your Wu tip, maybe make some Meth x The Riddler inspired AM1 IDs.

Wearing the grey Air Stabs today.

James - pics or die

 

[c4]

kickz4show- those i.d.s turned out awesome. If and when I get to ordering a pair, I might have to go Stash inspired.

 

[jwdanklefs]

Proto - Real talk that jacket looks pretty dope...

Awesome, I wondered if you got them when I saw he ended the auction.  You're gonna like those

.  Such nice detail on that shoe.

 

[notoriuswes]

those supreme id's look reallllll good

 

[denverairforce]

I decided to wear these customs, finally.  I don't like the mudguard color, I have been meaning to redo them, but I got lazy.  now I'm just gonna wear them.  only customized part you can't see is the swoosh on the back is purple (just the swoosh, not the "nike air").

before:

after:

 

[eastlasmokeshop]

Picked these up sorry for the last picture the air bubbles are a somewhat foggy not to bad are they wearable anybody ever had 90s crumble on them.









Bonus

 

[mayhemgatz]

^^very dope pickup, you shouldn't have any issues wearing them but if u are concerned at all.....it's always good to walk around the house for a few to break them in and see what happens before taking it to the concrete.

Seth - can't wait, they look great in ur pics. i jus hope it's a good fit or i'll have to pass 'em to Jake or Shaun

Denver - how is the paint holding up on the plastic parts?

[denverairforce]

J - first time really wearing 'em, but it seems like it's fine. none of it came off when I laced 'em up. I'll check on 'em after the day is done and i'll see how they're lookin'...
