The Official Nike Air Max 90 Thread

These came out beautiful

It's crazy to me how many people are saying they hope these sit, do y'all not want Nike to keep making 90s? If these sit, there's no incentive for future retros.

Nike will keep making 90s regardless, and yes I hope they sit need them on disco.

Not sure if anyone needs, but concords are available here. Legit retailer in Austin.

Womens Air Max III

White/vast grey-concord The Air Max 90 was originally know as the Air Max III, up until 2000 when it was retroed and renamed the Air Max 90 after the year it released.

Already released at the storefront in US?? That’s lame... This one is also listed on SNKRS-JP currently for Oct. 8th release and it’s retailing for flippin $161+ while those Surplus ones will be up next on Oct. 10 at approx. $146.... I bet the former will end up on the sales rack just like those Eggplants and I’m hoping the same to happen w/ those Surplus too.

These are too nice

Just got notification that my LB delivered. Can’t wait to go home and check it out!

Hats off to Nike, those retros are the best I've ever seen. They spent 10+ years retroing classics in a (very) ****ty way, but it seems like they're now putting in the adequate effort when retroing classics.

Will definitively add a third pair if on deep discount (with black friday coming I hope these will sit). Now I'm even more excited for the Infrared and Spruce Limes...never been this excited for a pair of 150$+ plastic shoes

Just one more thing Nike, please retro a reshaped version of the BWs next year (30 years anniversary!) and please, please fix the AM1, there's only small details left to make it a Air Max III-esque retro

Hoping they sit so we can triple on these and be set for 10 years, not just for getting them at a discount value

 

[perfectchaosrei]

for those who double and or triple up, what do you do with the extras? do you actually get around to wearing them? how quickly do you go through the first pair?

first pair: casual wear, neither extreme care neither couldn't-care-less attitude (could last 4-5 years)
second pair: same as the first, but for years 5-10
third pair: stays in the box, it will be a piece of history in 10 years

 

[frankwh1te]

typically when I double/triple up I end up flipping one for like 3x what I paid after sitting on them for a few yrs. win win

AM90 Surplus is literally the old mold now marketed as a mid/boot. Pretty funny if you ask me.

It does have a different sole though:

Nike knows what they are doing. They know if they make a million of them that they'll hit discount. They still make money when they are discounted.
