THE OFFICIAL AIR MAX 1 THREAD

[fastlane]

A hair dryer will get rid of a fogged bubble if that’s what you want

word- clear air bags don't mean a thing- rubbing hard with your finger or pulling out hair dryer- dont get sucked in-those puppies gonna break within 100 steps

1. Why is the Curry, a gr originally, going to be an Atmos collab this time?

2. wtf is that second retro?

Based purely on the Habanero red, I'm going to guess this is a really weird Leather Curry TBH

Still really ****ing annoyed that Atmos is somehow tied to Currys at all.

 

[MrKDes]

Man...if curries come out as an atmos branded ill cry.

Due to the affiliation or the possible fact that they may be hard to obtain?

 

[JSWAM]

Mail Day. Very Pleased!

Both - Atmos really has no business retroing a GR colourway as a "collab"

 

[stoplooklisten]

Honestly I'm kinda bored of Nike x Atmos.
Give someone else the spotlight sheesh.

 

[Phillip Drummond]

Base is the olive, toe rand is the peat moss. Habanero red is what was on that recent pair of am1s.

okay what are those! them nasty asf !!

stoplooklisten couldn't agree more

i need that bape rug G

 

[Leetroy Jenkins]

I have low hopes for the Parra collab based on the way things have been shaping up.
Ready to eat my words and spent oodles of money for multiple pairs if I'm proven wrong.

Concepts not having an AM1 after everything they did to the sneaker world with the Lobster pack is beyond me.

That baffles me. They consistently have well thought out and well executed collabs.

Agreed. They don't just slap a cool colorway on a shoe. They tell a story. That NYC/Boston Rivalry pack with NB was so awesome. They went deeeeeeeeeeep into the vault for the Yankees inspiration. The Coca Asics was awesome too. Sometimes they miss the mark but that's going to happen. I'd love to see an AM1 from them.

I feel like they don't give runner collabs to US shops. We all know they're crazy about runners overseas but that shouldn't mean we get left out over here in the states.

Frank the Butcher would ****ing annihilate the silhouette

UNDFTD 97 is the only one that comes to mind right away.

Huf had a few but that was over 10 years ago and dqm too

Yea but those were ****ing terrible...
Stamping your logo a bunch of times and rehashing another brands iconic colour combination is just lazy.

Don't forget Kid Robot.
American company.

Already right there, you've got 3 iconic collabs by Americans.

Edit: Can't forget about Kaws

I was referring to recently. Those are all 15 years old. Is the UNDFTD 97 the only Nike runner collab with a US company in the last 5 or so years?

True kid robots were too limited/overrated though in my opinion. They grey HUF's are one of my favorite am1s and in my opinion way underrated.

I can't think of any other to be honest. Not that I would have cared with the shape in recent years being so bad up until last year

 

[Leetroy Jenkins]

Have to think Nike will milk the hell out of collabs now.

Fully expecting in the next 5 years:
Vapormax and AM1 pack from kith
AM1 or AM90 from concepts
AM1 from a brand like Overkill
Patta Retros or net new

And i think we’re all on the same boat when I say that the DBZ collab would’ve been been better served with Nike

That’s fair. I think that goes for collabs in general since the dark ages though.

 

[stoplooklisten]

Hopefully man but Nike almost neglects air max and just pushes basketball/Jordan
