[gooeywooey]

@ Kev
but seriously dude, this is an AM thread. WAMDYWT is welcomed and the odd bonus pic is fine, but posting like that is asking for trouble.



i've been writing too much lately in my posts, so here's pics i forgot i had of the 1st ever AMs i bought back in 1990:

i think they were like £100 even back then as they were imported from the US.

and these i bought in '91... still the only BWs i've ever owned:

i'm always too late when trying to get anything off Gusto

 

[circlelikewolves]

GOOEY- What are those huaraches in the back of that flick??

 

[el bro]

Mayhem- I just read your post and it had me crackin up. Very Nice Purple Pattas. I know thats a shoe that will be coveted for a long long time.

(Gusto's pic, obviously

)

 

[jdmfanatic]

I know rite? Then all of a sudden he's nowhere to be seen.  Classic stuff you got there Gooey.....but you knew that

I guess this teaser picture isnt teasing Mayhem anymore....he's an Official Happy Camper with his own pair.. TG!

Wore these Charity 90's today:

 

[bricksb]

justin....just read your post, you are too damn funny.

[lexflex81]

Justin, glad to help out FAM



....enjoy the hell outta them!

and thank Jeebus for the smooth transaction..

 

[el bro]

I also got these in today. Already washed them, but the mesh is still stained. Any words of wisdom from you mesh experts.

 

[baybully650]

El Bro -

are those the pair that sold on the auction site recently? Nice shoes, hopefully they clean up for you.

 

[el bro]

Yep, I kind of regret it, cause I thought the mesh would clean up better. I need tips on cleaning the mesh. It actually looks better in the pics

 

[tak]

elbro- get some Zout ,you can find it in the detergent isle next to the stain removal stuff....

http://hypebeast.com/2010/02/nike-2010-spring-air-structure/I think the BW's were.  So much to go through, it's work going through all those pages http://hypebeast.com/2010/02/nike-2010-spring-air-max-bw-textile-pack/

Tak -

dont forget about me....

 

[cleveland222]

El Bro- First off, that USA pic hurt......bad. I'm close to giving up on finding an 11.5 or 12.

I've been messin with some difficult mesh on some Bursts of mine. Barkeeper's Friend has worked pretty good. It's a powder you should be able to find at any grocery store. With a little water it becomes a paste almost. Work the hell out of it with a scrub brush and it should help ya out. I've moved from that to bleech, but it doesn' seem to have done anything yet. (only 2 rounds so far with that).

Also, I haven't tried it on mesh yet but I'm guessing it should do something.....
http://www.bonami.com/products/
^^This stuff was suggested by a NT member to clean up yellowed mid-soles and it worked wonders!!! It's a powder (paste with water) and acted like a polish almost. Cleaned up some dunks of mine better than I ever thought possible. I'm thinkin this will work like the first product I mentioned with mesh. Who knows though. Best of luck! Now find me a pair of USA's. lol.

i'll post a before and after with the Bon Ami stuff when i get a chance to take pix. Have a great weekend FAM!!

What's up Fam?  Been too long.  Usual stuff: work, chilling, marriage.  Wore Concord XIs with my suit for the big day.  Felt super fresh!!!!

  Obviously I didn't do that.

Way too much to catch up on.

Gooey - Reppin' the UK from the UK!  Pure heat every time.
Justin - Congrats mate.  Know how much you wanted those and how long it's been.
Greg - Waddup!! Eff you and shorts in February

Was feeling disheartened about my Chilli 87s the other day.  Yellowing mesh, some of that deep down grime that somehow seems to get in older mesh.  Thought, eff it, I'm just gonna beat these into the ground.  Wore them out in wet and windy NY and as soon as some mud got on the mesh I was like

Now they're gonna have to hit the washing machine.  No matter how much I try to convince myself I don't care there's no getting away from it!

I dont - i guess its good in a way though, im looking at 2 or 3 pairs of shoes right now and not having the option of the USA's makes things a bit easier... and im a size 10 anyways, thought i could just fit into a 9.5 

 

[aldo raine]

 

[stuntman mike]
