THE OFFICIAL AIR MAX 1 THREAD

[dhtowng]

And to be fair, what is "og" for am1 is kinda subjective. They've always been called 87s, not 86s.

True but they’ve said themselves these are a remake of the ‘86 version so there’s that.

If they'd shown something similar to what we saw yesterday in the snkrs live last year, I don't think the reaction would be what it was yesterday. People would have known what to expect. Like it or not, it wouldn't be a surprise. But what we saw yesterday was nothing like the live so a lot of people that are fans of the 05/17 shape were disappointed. I think that's where the real issue comes from. It was a year long tease.

Personally I wish they'd just release more of the 100 version of 2017. I get they need to make a change bc that's what Nike does but I'm personally just not a fan of the 86 upper at all. If you are, great. Hope this pair hits for you. I'll probably grab a pair but I won't be hoarding them like I did 2017.

with some chance, with nike inconsistencies, some pair will have some good midguard passing the qc lool…

 

[AIRMAXDISCIPLE]

im thinking to sacrifice 1 of my HOA OG blue pairs and slap a 2024 big bubble midsole underneath

 

[vinnuendo]

I wish huf would have worked to bring back some air maxes with their 20th anniversary campaign last year. I guess their anniversary coinciding with SB (both started 2002) made more sense to do the dunks. Glad I got those but would've loved a hufquake or 2004 air max 1 revisit.

This has to be a first on NT right? Shoe close to OG and most are like

Do they look like the OGs though? We need more pics and comparisons, but from the initial looks they don't look like the og shape.

 

[1978S]

Cause honestly, a lot of shoes og shapes are pretty bad.

Name a few examples.

OG Dunk Hi was a good example. What else sneakerwolf916 ? Genuinely curious.

[blacklion23]

Just the tongue is popped(mainly), heel part of ankle collar bit more rounded(could be angle), and the toebox area is slimmer

You left off 1986 Air Max 1.

Cut it out. We all know very well how you feel.

Question is for sneakerwolf916 .

 

[dblplay1212]

And tbh the tongue on the 88 aj3 was too short. It later got too tall but I like the current tongue height better than the super short or super high tongues. Maybe it's bc the ankle is cut lower now? Idk now an expert on aj3.

 

[1978S]

Yeah I guess tongue could be included in this discussion of shape? I was more thinking overall shape/toe box as that's what Nike seems to butcher the most.

OG 3's is one of most butchered of shoes via Nike.

I personally prefer the short tongue on the OG 3's. The extra tall tongue is so bad though.

 

[DecepticonRumble]

Current tongue on AJ3s is great, definitely better than the throw pillow on pairs like the Katrina’s (HoF). Although my Unite pair has a tongue so short you cover up the Jumpman lacing all the way up. Feels so weird too.

All new AM1s are odd lately with the fit being inconsistent. Hopefully the big bubbles fit the way we expect our preferred size to fit. Nothing like hitting on a pair only to have them fit too snug. Looking at you Hemps

 

[blacklion23]

Me watching the opinions from both sides…

 

[frankmatthews]

Just cut the dam window bigger! No need to experiment with different shapes and materials

 

[DecepticonRumble]

If you want spicy check out the AJ III reimagined thread, that bish has been crazy

Oh I believe it. Normally I’d get in that thread once it gets closer to the drop but maybe I’ll get my kicks now. Jordan threads usually have the same circus life cycle. I don’t even post, just sit back and laugh.

 

[50inchvert]

Sort of what I see and doing my best to unsee it.

 

[50inchvert]

Spoiler

Still going in for a pair!

 

[modus47]

 

[sole searchin]

Hard to tell. Is this a darker safari print? It seems to be the same option I’ve seen and have but this particular pair the print looks extra dark. Was this just a different option or just the picture?

 

[frankmatthews]

Its a darker print. There were like 3 shades of gray safari print. The middle shade looks best imo.

 

[dblplay1212]

That's not bad to me. I have that Nike puzzle from a few years ago actually. I just don't like the mudguard that starts really high and dive down to nothing.

 

[BGB23]

Can someone explain what this pair is? It has perforations around the bubble. Shot is from a 1987 commercial.

It's an 86 big bubble. Some of them had the dots in commercials. Idk why, maybe a prototype?
