$100 was a big ask in the 80’s. NB was the first to cross the $100 running shoe threshold with the OG 990 in ‘82.
I thought M1300 was the first sneaker retailed over $100 as the following article indicates,

But you could be right since the article on Sneaker Freaker states that 990 as the first runner with a $100 shelf price…

Either the case is…, it was NB and it was before Air Jordan’s MSRP exceeded $100….
 
Was the quality of the NBY Atmos AM1s any good or is it the same level of quality?
I wore mine the other day and felt like the midsole paint was inferior as well as the mesh quality. Other than that the suede is a decent thickness and the shape is pretty good.

How are you judging paint quality? You have chips, flaking, other already?

When I went to wipe down the midsoles, there’s a few areas where the paint has kind of worn away. I’ve cleaned other recent AM1s like pecans, crepes, Pattas, concepts, anniversaries and haven’t experienced any wear on those midsoles.

I’ve only worn my IDs like 4 times total and it hasn’t been strenuous wear either.
