The Official Nike Air Max 90 Thread

The first thing people wanna do now is post pics of their shoes on foot on insta or here. Lets see how that goes with this ‘release’. Release could mean an entire run if they dont bother to fix it. That would mean years of this if they dont see a problem with them lol

Subpar is usually regarding the shape. Theyve been pretty good with materials for the most part as of late. They fixed the shape but got cheap on the uppers to where they lose the shape they managed to achieve in the first place lol

 

[tonytobacco]

Dat shape though. So bittersweet lol

 

[SoleByThePound]

I’ve read some real stupid **** on this site over the years, this quality control theory takes the cake.

I'd like to see on-foot toebox pics if what folks are saying about the denting is true

 

[AIRMAXDISCIPLE]

love to see how nikes corner cutting tricks are backfiring because of the QC and i would love to see this model flop and end up like the Air Max BW, that will teach them a good lesson for not giving me the 2001 shape and release them with that ugly wanky shape

Shape is fine. Shoe is fine (on and off foot). I think peeps are trippin.

 

[migu420]

At least the box is nice, lol. Nothing but the finest cardboard for air max heads!

 

[AIRMAXDISCIPLE]

Shape is fine.

the shape is fine lol ??!!! all the peeps that have this shoe are affraid to make pics from the without shoe trees or without wearing them, you know why ?? because the shape sux without stuffing them with paper till the toebox blows or without wearing them

Who cares about the shape when not on foot?

 

[AIRMAXDISCIPLE]

i care and plenty peeps out there that care, shape from a shoe need to be good right outta the box without out shoe trees or stuffing it, so now i dare you to make side profile pics from your pair without shoe trees and out of the box

@ Nike giving a single damn about this release. This is like a drop in the bucket for them. It’s probably just a shipment delay that has zero to do with quality issues.

I feel like if that’s what you believe you haven’t been around Nike Retro long enough. Subpar renditions of great models is par for the course.

Wasnt a shipment delay here.
They had them out the back of all the stores last night ready for sale this morning and a recall stop sale went out last night.
enjoying all the speculation here when i happen to know exactly what happened and have said it about 4 times.

Honestly I find it weird that you care what the shoe looks like sitting in a shelf. They look great on feet. That's all that matters. I buy shoes to wear, not look at in a box or on a shelf.

 

[AIRMAXDISCIPLE]

They look great on feet.

yeah they look great on feet thats why the retailers need to send their stock back to nike, thats how great they are

Not doubting you because I trust your info all the time but are you saying they sent them ALL back? Recall means this release ain’t happening this year.

 

[BabyKiller138]

Hope it’s not a **** show in here tomorrow. See y’all in the morning.

 

[AIRMAXDISCIPLE]

nike love to kill their iconic silhouettes like the AM BWs, Air 180s, Air Stab and Air trainer, and mark my words this silhouette is next

 

[dhtowng]

They didn’t kill these. I and a lot of other people like them and want them to release them as is. Let me be the judge as the whether there’s a QC issue or not.

Here. Mens. Yes.

Air stabs were the absolute worst.

you are in the minority, peeps that are not collecting and are buying this shoe starting from 2001 will not like this shoe that have dents all over on the upper and feels flimsy as fk and have the same rigidity as an plastic bag, that group is way larger than sneakercollectors, if they are stop buying this shoe, the AM90s will be dead meat after a few years

 

[08kx250f]

I wear a 10.5, wondering if I should go for the womens pair tomorrow. Is there any difference vs the mens pair?

 

[AIRMAXDISCIPLE]

Is there any difference vs the mens pair?

wmns pair will be more narrow but is 0,5 cm longer at the length

I guess you missed this pic I posted last night. the shoe isnt stuffed either

 

[dhtowng]

What’s funny to me is that heads literally iron their toe boxes and deal with toe dents on air maxes all the time but NOW it’s such a travesty lol.
