THE OFFICIAL AIR MAX 1 THREAD

[modzzilla]

All my vintage sneaks have died this last month. Something about the last years weather got to them. I had the nack of getting them to not crumble or pop mostly up to now. Alas, no longer…

North America only what a bunch of bollocks. I ****ing hate watching those shows haha

Yeah feel the same way. I watched it also expecting a shock drop for the UK, but was disappointed.

I got a random question for you guys. Seeing that you guys are most enthused about the OG/retro Air Maxes like the AM1s, 90s, 180s, Lights, 95s, 97s and so on - are you guys fans of any of the newer modern models? Maybe starting from the VaporMax and onwards (2017), so like the VMs itself, AM270s, Pre-Days, 2090s, etc.?

almost all the non retro air max shoes are basically garbage, the only one ik can tolerate a little bit is the AM270 the rest are just ugly as fuh

Pity buy since I got that L for the big bubble

You came out on top actually. These are way more interesting than the big bubble.

Haven’t cared for a “modern” air max since the 2003 and 2006 (360). Yeah, I realize my definition of modern might differ from a lot of the younger heads on here.

There have been some solid hybrid/updated retro models though. AM1 flyknit and Air Max Lunar1 come to mind. AM1 Lunar1 is still the most comfortable AM1 variant release ever imo. Wish I doubled on those.

If only it had one or two more straps....

 

[G0OD]

AF1 high / AM1 fusions?? Cut the strap off and these ain’t bad haha

What is the expected shelf life on an air max 1 with wear?

I grew up a Jordan and AF1 guy. I don't think I've ever owned an AM1 for 10 years at this point.

What should I be keeping an eye out for?

Lace swap, it doesn’t match the mudguard or collar but I like the added shade of beige.

Depends on where you live and how they are stored but I have a lot of pairs from 2003-2005 and only 2 have crumbled. I think baseline is 15 years but many go 20+ years.

Oh yeah. That's solid. I can wear everything I have now until I'm 50 or so. That seems like a good spot to hang it up.

Hit the bars on St. Paddy’s night…

 

[biafra809]

Thanks.

I'm an 11 in Pattas but an 11.5 in AM IIII's. Got an 11 in these Big Bubbles so fingers crossed.

Same. I’m a 9.5 in AM87 and a 10 for AM90/3.

There’s never a good time to hang it up.
