What would it take for you to part ways with those beauties?

I wouldn't so couldn't think of a price. What size are you anyway? These are 9.5. They're not impossible to find (but nearly!). Justin found an11.5 and I think I've seen a 9 or 8.5 on ISS.

Dan - cool! I can't wait to see them in the flesh. That's a very good price too.

Yeah it seems everyone I know that leaves the SW ends up coming back, or at least seriously miss it. NY's gonna be amazing though. Definitely a worthysubstitute. How long you planning on staying out there?

 

[mayhemgatz]

those navy/orange 98's are so serious, i love the navy/maize colorway the best but i'm really really glad i stumbled on that pair....especially for theprice i paid.

i would sell my soul to see a catalog or something that shows all of the exclusives JD's had over their years being in business.

 

[danloveuk]

I slept on some of the all grey 98s with blue swoosh. One of those pairs that got away, price wasn't too bad either, I'd pay it in a flash now.

Gooey - Only got a 1 year contract initially but the suggestion seems to be that it'll go on longer if I want it to. I'd like to do 3 years I think,but obviously that seems pretty abstract right now.

 

[modzzilla]

Bored playing on i.d., but i like these.



Black or grey lining would have made them better though i think.

I could probably squeeze a 10 but not a 9.5. I could use that 11.5. never thought of ISS, their search feature is horrible. Maybe I should tryagain. Don't see many 98s in any color these days.

what up fam
un'ds

 

[neukicks]

^^ whats the name of those? style code?

, darnit there was a pair up on ebay awhile ago but now i can't find it

 

[larrivee7]

Gooey -- sick '98s.

UFB - Nice lights

, a very underrated AM in my opinion. I was actuallyjust admiring them in an old Eastbay yesterday ('96/'97 was a GOOD time, haha).

I have a size 10 up for sale (with the original box) if you're interested (or anyone for that matter)

 

[neukicks]

, now that i look at UFB's, those may have been the ones on that site....

 

[pureretr05]

Do you guys know if the insole on the 09 Neon 95s the same insole as the HOA Neon 95s?

 

[poogibucker]

HEY AM FAM ! ! ! Ive been a lurker and sometimes a contributer to this thread for over 4 years, and I finallydecided to make an application to join the team. My name is Tyler but my friends call me T.O. (initials), I live in Northern California, wine country to be more specific. Ivebeen an NT member since '05 back when I was just 15, now I'm 19, going to school at the local JC. I first got into Air Maxes a couple years ago when I was running track on my high school team,before that I only rocked Jordans haha. Anywho, Im a size 9.5 and like alotta people, my favorite AM is the AM 95. I dont have the biggest collection ofAM's but i think that I have some good stuff mixed in, oh and im Japanese BTW, if that matters

good stuff ^up there... urawas are looking dope i need a cleaner pair... next up urawa team am fam tees?

lol

 

[em in js]

good stuff! more 90's!

 

[ukbased]

UFB - Those Max Light 3 look stunning. A top pair. There's a couple of pairs (going cheap) on Napsize if anyone is searching. Too small for me.

pUreRetr05 - Insole is the same on '09 and HOA.

 

[danloveuk]

Agreed, those AM Light IIIs are beautiful. I'd love a pair.

Justin - Didn't you wreck a pair in the washing machine?!?!

Are you sure? I could've sworn the HOA insoles were specially done. They're the same but red in my HOA '87s. Anything before and after would justbe the straightforward logo style.

An old comparison pic of mine:

Dan - sounds good. I'm sure that 1st year will fly by!

My bad

. I find that pretty odd though, Why only just re-use thatdesign now?

Retail on the QS 1s is £85 here, so even with shipping included you'd be better off importing from the US.

whattup fam
yo neukicks, thanks my dude


for today...

 

[tak]

bigred- good stuff

I have a pair of them safari's, thematerials used are awesome imo.....especially that buttery smooth suede used on the tongue

and if Nike would've stuck with the og toe box, shape &form....I'd probably wear my pair a whole lot more.

What brand paint did you use to custom them 90's, and hows that area holding up?

 

[bigred33]

tak- yea man i think the safari's are an underappreciated shoe. i just don't know what to use to clean them. would jason markk work onthese also? anyone?
i used liquitex acrylic paint, and mixed a little acetone with it. it's holding up pretty well. i haven't had to make any touch ups yet :crossesfingers:

 

[jordan5]

dope AMs everyone
