The Official Nike Air Max 90 Thread

[sneak3r]

Anyone know if these are coming out this year? Literally been waiting 30 years for these to re-release (and I don't consider the sunburst to be close enough to be a substitute).

Love the new (old) box. Too bad they are so squished in.

Will be doubling up either way when they land in the UK.

Although this will be an expensive month as I'm still waiting for any info on a EU/UK release of the UNDFTD 90s (white/blue fury and white/infra). Seems like they're not destined to be release here???

Wms CI7395-100

Finally! I was wondering if these were ever going to drop

 

[migu420]

Size 15 mudguard on a size 7 upper

 

[temple90]

So the volts fit slightly big? Trying to decide if I want to size down half a size or go tts

 

[9th Wonder]

Volts just shipped from champs, looking forward to getting these in

 

[crumps brother]

Would’ve hit on that Bloomingdales promo if my size was available but it’s not

 

[08kx250f]

has it been confirmed that infrareds are dropping?

 

[buddhashark]

So is the purple pair just going to be a woman’s release?

There have been reports of limited mens sizes in the EU.

 

[checks mcgee]

There a diff between Mens and Womens?

Ordered my sz in the W's vers on Snkrs

Women’s version come with step stool and booster seaf

So the volts fit slightly big? Trying to decide if I want to size down half a size or go tts

narrow but long pause

I usually wear a 13 and a 12 was a nice snug fit

 

[checks mcgee]

Lmaooo thought I deleted first part

So I went to mall today after work to see what all the fuss was about (check out materials, shape, “flimsiness” etc.) and also for desperate check to see if there were men’s sizes of purples anywhere (knowing there probably wouldn’t be). Champs and FNL had both cws but only W size up to a 10. Dicks had none at all. I finally walk into FTL and they had only the volts but also in men’s . So at that point I’m like I at least have to try them on to see how these fit and maybe help some guys in here out on sizing. Well, I don’t know why I did that because, from there, you already know what happened next smh...

First off these are strictly built to be like the OG shoe from 1990. If you’re not into that then these may not be for you. The “flimsiness” certain people are describing is due to the very lightweight mesh and suede material that is perfect for this shoe and is an ode to the actual original version that were made the same way. It really was a running shoe and lightweight yet durable materials were par for the course back then. If you look at old photos of OG 90s, they are the same way.

The toe box will dent in if there’s no filler (tissue/shoe tree) and even will a little with a filler. But OMG once you actually put them on your feet, it fills out the entire toe box and they look godly! Glorious AM levels . That’s why I had to go ahead and copp even though my intention was to just get the purples (will have both now). Shape wise, build wise, these are the best 90s we’ve ever had since the OG if we are talking strictly OG aesthetics. Any true lover OG AM 90s would/should love these. These are for the purest. Also they’re TTS. I recommend going with the same size you wear in AM1. For me that’s TTS.

Nice

 

[tonytobacco]

The left shoe’s mudguard tho

 

[tonytobacco]

Look, i need a green ‘infrared style’ og 90 one way or the other. If not chlorophyll, then how about am95 neon green? It fits with the day-glo am90 theme...

I was thinking for chlorophylls itd be dope to have the plastic parts be corduroy as a nod to the am1. Thoughts?

 

[dmxgod]

Wow the Volts look really amazing

 

[moselini+]

Okay, I actually like these a lot... might have to scoop infared...

seeing these sit on the Undefeated website makes me so angry, i would scoop the white/green and black/infra in a heartbeat
simulated the check out on the undftd website and it would come to a total of 911.00$ for both with shipping, duties and taxes all in to Europe, i'll just keep wishing for a europe release but im starting to lose hope

 

[tonytobacco]

A thousand dollars for two pairs of shoes?

 

[moselini+]

A thousand dollars for two pairs of shoes?

300.00$ for the shoes then 119.00$ just for shipping and 532.00$ for duties and taxes...what a deal

 

[1c3m4m]

From what I saw only Nike pushed back the mens to the 15th, while most retailers released yesterday. Only certain retailers received mens pairs.

 

[buddhashark]

Dammit was trying to be choosey but I’m gonna need those volts too.

You said it all better than I ever could.

The left shoe’s mudguard tho

I knew you’d find that bro lol. That dip at the side of toe area on left mudguard is about the only thing I dislike. May even try to exchange today, may keep. Just the left shoe so we’ll see.
