Need these bad. @nonheinous you found these anywhere yet?
No matter how they turn out, most will "D" ride them hard.
I like the 97/am1 hybrid, but I’ve learned to not care for him at all. The way he handled his release, reselling them in his store and just overall what he puts out sucksNo matter how they turn out, most will "D" ride them hard.
what was the quality issue with the crepes?
I imagine he smells.Sean Wotherspoon is the human personification of what is wrong with "sneaker culture".
He's really not worth the energy it takes to think negatively about him. I don't like the store he and his associates run (speaking mainly of the NYC store) but he's nothing and no one new to this "sneaker culture." If your gripes are about how the 97/1 release was done, that's mostly on Nike, not him - little pawns like him don't mean **** to a giant company like nike.Sean Wotherspoon is the human personification of what is wrong with "sneaker culture".
If the 1/97 had been released as just the AMD release and no name attached, I think it would have been just as big as it was. It being the AMD shoe gae it the hype, not him. I think the shoe made him famous, not the other way around. I'd never heard of the guy before the shoe. He benefited from the relationship 100x more than Nike did.Regarding SW, his amd hybrid was cool, and his bespoke was ok. Both weren't worthy of the extreme amount of slurping that went on for them. Imo
I think my biggest pet peeve when it comes to sneakers is...
That if a regular old sneaker enthusiast comes up with that same design, the reception is Luke warm at best. But because it's SW, it's widely praised. Not sws fault though...he didn't create the game.
That's life though.
My second biggest pet peeve? Black hole sneakerheads.
^ just saw on SN - says releasing soon - women’s
Insole says it's probably womens only. And yea I have lots of womens am1. I actually prefer the cut bc they are wider than mens. What size are you in mens? Just add 1.5 to womens. I'm a 10.5 in mens, so 12 womens.Really? smh no chance these release in men's sizing? I wish they were men's... I really really dig that colorway. Have any of you bought women's AM1's?
Awesome, thanks for the info. I'm a US men's 10 so 11.5? I'll be looking out for these!Insole says it's probably womens only. And yea I have lots of womens am1.

Patterns fading away and coming back is true, especially in fashion. Nikes extremely crappy quality is something that came about in 2007 I'd say - look at the neon marker Air Tech Challenge IIIs that came out that year (or 08, not so sure right now). Those, for me at least, are the point at which they mostly stopped giving a ****. After that they had the badly shaped Air Max 1 for almost 8 years. I don't think it's something nefarious in all honesty - it's just that Nike are extremely, extremely cheap and cut corners where they can. Adidas retros are almost always spot on but Nike is usually best with newer silhouettes. They only start changing stuff up if customers are extremely fed up and complain. That's also where older folks need to speak up and expose them for providing bad products.Noto I'm 24 and in my ~10 years of paying attention to this sneaker stuff, I've just seen the same trends and patterns recycled. Nike gives great quality for 3 years, takes it away for the next 5, then brings it back. Collabs are hot for two years (ronnie fieg asics in 2012-2013 are my fav example) and then the majority forgets. That's why I try not to get too worked up about it, it's the circle of sneakerhead life.
You're right. 100%I

NoWill I have a chance in fitting the biggest woman’s size if I normally wear 11.5 in air max but could prob drop to an 11 or 10.75
