The Official Nike Air Max 90 Thread

yea 2020 joint wilddddd slimmer

 

[DecepticonRumble]

Theyre all prob a bit mismatched in some way. Look at the Volts. The tongue liner and insole isnt even close to the other parts. The purps most likely look fine in person. I have a feeling its mostly due to the camera.

I had to look for the difference in person. It isn’t that noticeable.

 

[AIRMAXDISCIPLE]

the 2020 volts are now officially diagnosed with anorexia

 

[WASHED KING]

These are going to be in heavy rotation once Spring hits.

 

[Red Run]

Ill Rock em, CW is fire!

But I’ve always preferred the old stuff anyway. Gonna stay business as usual for me, hunt down and acquire early/mid 2000s 90s.

I do know I’m in less of a hurry to copp all these new joints now though

 

[commandocando]

First pick-ups of 2020!
Didnt even occur to me it’s the 30th anniversary of the AM90 when I copped my 3rd pair of Infrareds. Volt Talarias I just always wanted

So glad they’re doing away with AM90 bulkiness. Never understood why a running shoe should be bulky. That’s the main thing that’s deterred me away from 90s for so many years minus the infrared cw (I always copp those regardless). I love the OG running shoe shape vs what we’ve always gotten. The bulbous toe box and extremely high mudguard will not be missed.

Just not a fan, huh? That's disappointing.

Chunky but still kept a sleek stance though. The Chunkiness has nothing to do with the recent toebox and MG problems. I keep referring to the 2000s, the Golden age, but they were perfect back then imo, a little Chunky but still had that sleek overall shape Construction and materials were all on point.
I get not liking the silhouette. I’m just pointing out that the recent 90 problems aren’t synonymous with Bulkiness lol

Love the CW, Not a fan of the build. The changes seem more performance than OG to me. I love that we’re gettin love, I just wish they did the same as they did with 87s.

More performance? What do you mean? Visually they look like an og-clone to me.

I’m talking about the actual build. They seem really light and flimsy.

 

[Red Run]

These are just my honest opinions. I’m not trying to **** on these for everyone.

 

[dblplay1212]

Ahh gotcha. You're talking materials. I thought you were talking build.

 

[dhtowng]

Wow. Never heard of a *running shoe being built for performance.

 

[AirLoMax614]

@cumma Those Crocs have a mustache lol

Volts came in... Final answer on these now that I have a couple in hand, they might have gone a little OD with the performance upgrades.
I think you could actually run in these now? Lol
That synthetic micro suede is flimsy af and prone to toe dents. MGs are small, but I can learn to live with em.
I am having a little trouble processing the loss of 90 Chunkiness though. They’re almost like a different shoe.

heres a side by side with 2011 Volts
2020s still look rough without shoe trees
they look much better on foot than they do in hand now lol

Hell I like both lol

 

[AIRMAXDISCIPLE]

more like keep the production cost as low as possible, am90s are lifestyle shoes they are not made for running lol

 

[Red Run]

That’s fair. It’s just something that made 90s, 90s imo. All just one mans opinion though

 

[migu420]

Is it just me or is the toe less bulbous on the 2011/2012? That volt from then is one of my favorites, too!

 

[el bro]

Im so glad they left the white lining of the pocket right outside of the air unit. They took it away back in 06, and Im so glad its back!

 

[AIRMAXDISCIPLE]

they changed the shape in 2012 when the faux vintage infrareds dropped and in 2015 those clowns changed it again

 

[njavier03]

MAJOR difference in the mudguard! please bring back infras, so i can start using my 2015s as gym shoes.

 

[urn0tlike]

I like the sleekness of the them. Very clean. 2 of each for me.

 

[MAIN INGREDIENT]

They seem really light

No joke - after copping the sails, then running some errands in them... LIGHT AS FEATHERS!!! Must weigh half that of old 90s mould. Niketown LNDN doing some "event" on Thursday aimed at these... So sick of any hype atm... Just release the GR sneakers by putting on shelf.

 

[jawknee37]

Hopefully I can cop all of them with the swoosh account. That'd be saving me a lot of money. .

Me too!
