THE OFFICIAL AIR MAX 1 THREAD

[jc5123]

I wear mine to run in a couple times a week. I try switching out to actual "running" shoes but I always like the way these feel better

Anyone has an idea on why the 2020 Lemonades were not a hit? Still can find some online and the resale price is below retail. I thought the release would be similar to the Elephants some years ago...

Spoiler

No I didn't cop a dozen pairs on release hoping to flip them at double the price

^ I think because the paint on the upper graphic was cracking with first wears IIRC

I have 2020 lemonades and I think they are cool but I can't understand how they were heralded for so long. Maybe availability of the OG pair made em more desirable.

I liked the pinks more tbh.

Supply drives demand a lot these days. If they make a bunch, nobody wants them.

On top of the cracking issues, it was not a collaboration, was not a generally desired colorway, and outside of the air max 1 fans it was never that popular of a shoe. Sure, a select few air max 1 heads always loved them and paid good money for them. Many classic air maxes that fans love are still pretty niche shoes to the general (sneakerhead) population. Bacons are another great example. Atmos elephants are a sneaker that every sneakerhead loves regardless of the silhouette - elephant, color pop, collaboration, etc. Casual sneakerheads just like OG colorways and collabs.

Anyone know why Nike went back to the banana shape after fixing it in 16-17? Did they change factories?

 

[sneakaprince]

Really surprised how quiet things are on the AM1 front. We were getting blessed for a while. Seems like Nike is drawing attention to other models for the time being.

I half way expected to see more drop considering we have the TS Collab coming soon.

I'm more surprised that lights have been completely ignored, since it's their 30th anniversary this year.

sounds like you're not very good at mathematics
OG AML came out in 89, you're 2 years late
its the 30th anniversary this year for the AM Classic BW

They didn't

For some reason I had it in my head that the lights were the year after 90s rather than before, my bad. You're right though, definitely the funniest thing ever.
X a million, or whatever.

About to do a 5 miler in my fly knits

how’s running in retros? I’m curious since they’ve originally been designed for running but never actually tried.

I've run for the train/bus plenty of times in air maxes, pretty good for that lol

 

[jc5123]

I love the way they feel. The uppers are so soft. I have newer technology running shoes that I alternate but I always reach for these.

 

[gorillapippen]

OG’s still kept intact.

 

[feedtheego1982]

Anymore news in the patta collab?

Wow!

What pace are you running at?

 

[dblplay1212]

All these shoes and still nothing beats a crispy pair of og reds.

I can't do the Air Max 1 for long runs. Anything else is fine.

My favorite all around retro gym sneaker as of late is actually the footscape woven.

I left my old trainers in my locker at work when the pandemic started and I haven't been back to the office to get them. Covid kinda forced me to make some plays with random sneakers for workouts.

I need to UNDS a new pair. My beater pair turned in to lawn shoes.

Yea my first pair of 100s aren't in bad shape but going to Chicago this weekend so broke out a new pair. Didn't want to bring a lot of shoes so these will always do.
