Whats the going rate for a DS pair of nike am light laser blue and teal sz 10?

 

[danloveuk]

^ Haven't seen too many going recently but realistically you're looking at $200+ for the Teals and maybe $180 (if you're lucky) for the LaserBlues. The most recent JD release that looks almost exactly like the previous Laser Blues can be had for retail if you have a UK connect as they've justdropped over here. Still, pricey if you're in the States...

^really a nice pair, but its a very small size... actually these were mine, but i sold them to a guy in holland for a very very good price,because he really really wanted them
and two days later, i see them on ebay for a ridiculous high price smh

well, here are some vintage runners, some already posted in here, others not... they aren't all air max'es but amfam is also a lot about runners....

1991 Air huarache LE


this is the air base III also from 1991


1992 air max 180


the first two pair of shoes are perfectly wearable.. i already have worn the huaraches without a problem... the air maxes will crack, without a doubt...
So, i wondered why do some of these runners crack, while others are perfectly wearable (like my huaraches, skylons, ...)

i think the answer is the type of midsole used... Nike uses two types of midsoles on their runners...

the first type is called Phylon, and is the material used on the skylons, huarache internationals, huarahce lights, huarache's LE, air icarus, air analogs,etcetera....
the second type is Polyurethane and is the material used on all the air maxes, but also the Pegasus, the tailwinds, air classic BWs,....

well, just out of experience, shoes that belong to the phylon group, i have never seen crack... (it could happen, but i atleast haven't seen it yet), andsecondly, they almost never show midsole discoloration (again, can happen, but haven't seen it yet)

shoes of the second group, the polyurethanemidsoled shoes, they are almost garantueed to crack, and will turn yellow after a while....

conclusion: don't worry when you buy some original base's or huaraches, or skylons probably they are good to wear
sorry for all the text

PS. I already have a blog

yea lot's of nice AM's...if he had my size I'd pull his card quickfast n see if i could get some of those gems for under $250...i hopesome members can get some stuff for a "good price" though

didn't mean to spark an argument, or cause unnecessary clutter to be posted, people just fly off the handle sometimes i guess but some nice AM's gotposted because of it so not a total waste

that's some great info kapepper, thanks for sharing. i wish i could find some of the OG huaraches in my size!

also good find on the vid marco.....took me way back in the day when i was young i'm not a kid anymore, but somedays i sit and wish i was a kid again...

no maxes for me, real sh*!!y day today......but game 3....it's on!

 

[larrivee7]

^ That's amazing

[prez t]

kapepper - great stuff as always

these just came in today

:

i NEED a better camera asap

peace fam

 

[ucasta]

for today... my favorite lights.

 

[mayhemgatz]

very dope 93's and lights.....lol @ aaron still holding down the "atmos chapter" sig!

 

[briannnnn]

Prez, nice 93s. I wouldn't worry too much about the camera...from my experiences, you can get at least a decent shot with a steady hand, adequate lighting,and good focus on the subject.

All my pics are taken with a Powershot SD300 from 2005 that has been dropped on the ground nearly five times. It also has a cracked screen, very short batterylife, and an inability to zoom back out

Pics still half decent (though I did some post-processing work in photoshop)

ucasta, nice teal lights.

 

[s dubl]

Chuka...dope 93s. Im actually waiting on a pair myself...

Aaron...dope lights. I dont own any lights yet. I need to grab a pair.

mail lady dropped these off a few mins ago.

peace Fam.
