THE OFFICIAL AIR MAX 1 THREAD

Can anyone confirm if the 2017 anniversaries were glued and not stitched on the inside

2012s were stitched and I find stitched AM1s more comfortable and flexible and not as stiff as the glued ones which feel rigid

Thanks fam

Nike's cost cutting strikes again :{

Somehow they went back to stitched with the big bubbles

Edit: Just checked my AM1s. Seems the AM1s made in China are glued. Vietnam are stitched and better quality
Has nothing to do with the country. Can’t remember a single 87 made in Vietnam since improved shape. 95% China, rest Indonesia. If they start in Vietnam again I guess glue glue.

Current big bubbles are made in Vietnam and stitched

And Nike was trying to "go back to the beginning" with those
 
It's the volume and the shotgun technique of it all that can be a bit much.
Definitely not discounting the effort because man spends a lot of time across the threads..
 
I was certain that they would do a stateside release for Chloros, they waited a good bit for the Patta waves when they did those so I thought they would do the same. It looks like they aren't going to do that again, I'll try and hunt down a good deal, but it might just be something I have to pass on.
 
I appreciate therealest1 therealest1 posting upcoming drops. I may not like all of them but that's ok. I'm not a huge ig/twitter guy so I wouldn't see a lot of upcoming releases if not for him. Kinda weird that people get mad about shoes being posted on a forum about shoes tbh.
Folks know he does it and knows how he operates and still feel a type of way. It may be hard but sometimes life is about......
Acceptance. Once attained stuff won't bother you.
