i have both pairs, in size 11, and they are big on my feet for sure, had to put them crease stopper things in them to make them fit a bit better......

SUP FAM!

hope everyone is doing well! there were a lot of dope kicks and pickups
over the last pages! i haven't picked up any new AMs in a while, but i'm
looking to get my (literally!) safari AM1s back. i traded them + cash for
some dave white 90s and he's ready to sell them
laugh.gif
awesome! untilthen,
nothing new for me. i'm definitely going to see if i can get the HOA AM1s
retros and maybe those minty 95s! seeing these pics over the last few pgs
reminds me of how many AMs i don't have! i.e. HUFs, laser lights, max
orange lights, etc.

Cris- i got the tee! thank yeeewwwww!!
smile.gif
 
so apparently JD Sports now has it's own eBay shop......http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/JD-Sports__W0QQ_armrsZ1JD Sports

there's no real good stuff available and it doesn't help with the currency exchange...BUT...it may be a good sign of things to come!
nerd.gif


Soon i'm gonna write a letter to Nike & JD....proposing a new HOA shop in the US...phone and online ordering preferred....coming soon to a small,hypebeast-less town near no one!

I like the look of those blue AM1s, remind me of the Footpatrol Adidas zx8000, which are very nice as you're allaware. I don't mind those Maxims, Neu, they look ok on.
 
shaun: NLs run bigger, definitely. i'd get at least a half size smaller.

all: thanks for the tip, lads. going to try and find some fabric shaver. don't even know if that thing exists here in KL!

justin: as usual... lovely stuff..

well here it goes , my formal application to Team AM Fam . hope its both an enjoyable read , and not too long

my name is Chuka (Nigerian
smokin.gif
) , im currently 21 years old residing in NJ, and wear anywhere from sz 11-12 in AMs . mystory about how i got into AMs and runners is fairly different from most of the people in this thread , but my love for them is still extremely strong . thefirst pair of AMs i ever had were the original OG Air Max Plus in the hyper blue colorway , i remember my mother got them for my birthday . back then however itreated all sneakers the same and ran em into the ground . i didnt really become a part of the 'sneaker culture' until spring of 05 , where my love forNike SB Dunks began . back then all i cared about and purchased were SB Dunks , but over the years my attention shifted towards other sneakers . buying myfirst pair of AMs in the spring of 07 combined with seeing the initial Team AM Fam thread blew me completely away . since then ive grown to love AMs / Runnersfor a number of reasons :

1. their extreme comfort
2. the beautiful colorways
3. the history behind them (im a huge huge fan of Tinker and his brilliance)

recently ive shifted my focus to solely purchasing AMs , but being as im a college student with no real income its been tough. ive even sold of a number of the SBs i first bought back in 05 in order to get some money for AMs
laugh.gif

suffice to say , i love these sneaks !

before i go ahead and show the sneakers that i do own , i wanted to single out a few members of the AM Fam who stand out to mefor various reasons

adob0 - i know you dont really come in here that often anymore , but yourcollection right from the jump amazed me . i remember a lil over a year ago i PMed you just to give you props for the sneaks you got , and you showed menothing but love in return . wont ever forget that
aaron - another member of the Fam whos collection amazes me ! ive contacted you acouple times , (more recently about finding some AM2 Lights) and you gave me some tips on searching for them better (i didnt even know about saved searches
laugh.gif
) . thanks homie
cris - man ... you really dont know how many sneakers ive purchased simplybecause of you rocking them in your pics . ill go into which of my AM purchases are a result of you later , but other ones include the retro of the OG Air TechChallenge colorway

anyways , onto the pics ! ill start first with my beaters :

2m43asx.jpg


^^^ Air Structures . this has got to be one of my favorite AM/runners . its currently the only sneaker i have multiples of(plan on wearing them all)

1o7oeb.jpg


^^^ AM87 'bred' IDs . got the idea COMPLETELY from Cris . at least half of the people in the fam must have this IDcolorway
laugh.gif
laugh.gif


qq3951.jpg


^^^ Air 180s . very first pair of runners i got since the Air Max Plus i had when i was 11 years old . i LOVE this sneaker andas you can see wore them until they were literally unwearable . if they ever retro this colorway im buying a bajillion pairs

2myx651.jpg


^^^ another colorway of the Air 180s that i bought a few years ago . havent really seen anyone else with a pair in thiscolorway ... wish they were mesh instead of leather
ohwell.gif


xf3uvk.jpg


^^^ AM87s 'keep rippin stop slippin' . love the OG Air Safaris so i had a scoop a pair of these . i wish the leatherwas of better quality though ...

2hqudyq.jpg


^^^ AM87s 'Hufquake' . love the gum bottom on these ! thought i wouldnt be able to get my hands on a pair of these andwas pleasantly surprised when the spot by my college (i go to school in STL) had em for retail

21kgx11.jpg


^^^ AM87s 'atmos' . the first pair of AM87s i ever purchased , and what a pair to start with ! love love love thesekicks and used to wear em a lot more often but have slowed down recently , being as i dont want to ruin em . getting a replacement pair would cost an arm and aleg

akur.jpg


^^^ AM89s . gotta love having a sister who lives in the UK
smokin.gif
. these are my 2nd pair of AM89s . like em a lot , butfirst thing i noticed when i got em in was the lowering of mesh quality in the toe box

4j5ngx.jpg


^^^ AM89s . man do i LOVE this colorway . cant wait to unDS em !

21l4s4y.jpg


^^^ AM93s . was super happy to get a pair of these in my size . thought they were only a womens release (meaning 11 and upsuffer
mad.gif
) but i wasglad to run across a pair in men's sizes

25573ip.jpg


^^^ Air Safaris . always liked this sneaker , but really fell in love with em after seeing em in Just For Kicks . THIS is thequality of leather Nike needs to put on its AMs !

2wbvu5x.jpg


^^^ 2nd pair of Air Structures . these get worn but sparingly

6qz5ew.jpg


^^^ 3rd pair . once the 2nd becomes beat , these will be unDSed !

21cuq9w.jpg


^^^ Air Huarache Burst Lights . really love the sneakers and the colorway . extremely comfortable

8vyjba.jpg


^^^ Air Tailwinds . another purchase as a result of Cris . i remember in a WDYWT post from April (i think) cris posted a picof him wearing these with scrubs , and it just pushed me over the edge . i think i bought these a couple days later
laugh.gif


2129w1w.jpg


^^^ Air Stabs 'footpatrol'
