The comfort in the 1998-2000 AM95s surpasses that of the more recent ones. Insoles were made of a more spongy kind of foam (as opposed to thehard rubber now) and there seemed to be a softer foam around the air units (probably why the older retros crumble).Originally Posted by danloveuk
They were in good condition when they arrived but I did a little cleaning too. Oxyclean on the mesh as there were a few light stains, then hand wash the shoe in lukewarm water with a bit of detergent. Rinsed in a little cold water and then left to air dry. Used a soft nail brush to bring the suede back to life afterwards. There was just a little dirt covering the air units, so that came off with a sponge.
They're really comfortable as well, much more so than my '08 Neons. Feels like there's more room in the toebox and the whole shoe feels softer and more padded. Part of this is because they've been worn, but still there's a noticeable difference for me. Wasn't someone else saying that the older retros felt bigger?
AM95s have been made in Vietnam since 2001 but the quality has been dropping by a crap load in recent years.Originally Posted by Modzzilla
Air does look nice, and made in Viet, so the quality should be good.
Broke scaphoid (sp?) for me, in plaster dammit! No skating for a coupla weeks then wrist guards on, lame.
Skatin in Nike Endorphin Pro 3s for those skaters amongst you, pretty sure they have a max unit in them, i could almost post a pic of me rockin em....nah.
