THE OFFICIAL AIR MAX 1 THREAD

[YouGotThese]

I seriously thought I was the only 30+ year old (non-celebrity) that still buys sneakers regularly lol! But it’s nice to see guys in their late 30s and 40s still part of the culture.

I’m 33 btw. I started collecting sneakers when I was 15 years old in the year 2000 when I got my first job at AMC Movie theaters in Co-op City in the Bronx. Literally every paycheck I earned back then went to a new pair of AF1s (my AF1 collection is sick) and Mitchell and Ness Jersey lol! You couldn’t tell me I wasn’t Fabolous from the “trade it all” music video lol!

I wasn’t much of a AM1 guy till 2005/2006 until the HOA Pack came out. Back then rarely anyone wanted the AM1 and 180s in that pack so after a couple months, the AM1 got discounted to $40 and at the time I worked at champs, so when the employee 50% off days came around, I didn’t hesitate to pick up the Red AM1 for $20. Since then I didn’t buy a AM1 until the Atmos elephant print came out in early 2017. Since then I bought/ID’ed around 25+ pairs of AM1s and they’re my current everyday go to sneaker of choice!

This thread is good but it’s much better now that I know we have some real sneaker collectors/enthusiast in here! Much love fellas!

Now I feel like a total *** for ordering from overseas last week. Didn't think they were ever gonna show up stateside. Oh well, only came to like $116 shipped anyway.

Has anyone ever had an issue of ordering shoes from overseas or wherever and the shoe size in the box didnt match the size you ordered. Everything else checks out, down to the number on the box but the shoes didnt match

Was the size that was delivered one size bigger than you ordered?

Those would look dope on a White AM1 sole (+ red or grey outsole)!

 

[Upptempo]

Kashima 97 upper on an AM1 sole and make the swoosh the Atmos teal. Whooooo

 

[eddiemcnasty]

i wish i still had my kashimas

 

[illustrayt]

I can't ever imagine a situation where I'd decide to wear either the Susan or the Tokyo Maze. I appreciate both for collecting purposes of AM1s, but would never (as with so many others in my collection) wear them.

I’m a bit of the opposite.
Ive seldom come across an AM1 that I wouldn’t wear. My philosophy has always been buy what I’d wear. Some take more courage then others but I’ve enjoyed wearing everything.

 

[Leetroy Jenkins]

I want every Air Max to be made like this

Quality looks A1 for sure. I'm jealous, I really wanted these but not enough to pay high resell.

 

[cdubsdad]

Wore these to church three nights last weekend - still look new after numerous wears.
