These arrived yesterday. The materials are a step up from typical GRs. Nubuck mudguard and suede overlay.

Wow, these are definitely a step up in quality from the recrafts. A few subtle differences compared to the recrafts but they add up to a greater sum, in my opinion. Went with the same size I wear in recrafts and these fit true to size.
I just wish those anatomical arch inserts were actually functional
(I remember they were much more sturdy back in the day, actually providing support, felt like a thick foam, not a flat piece of rubber) but that's the only complaint, shoes are great.

Hibbetts have them. Cross your fingers if you order from them. I did and received a pair of Air Force 1’s instead.

The name is because they were the 3rd Air Max to release.

Following the Air Max 1 the corresponding models were known as the II AND III to some back then. I’ve read some where that it wasn’t until around 99/2000 they were known as 90s.

I think they did it to go the extra mile to make these as close to the original as possible, and to distinguish these from the recraft 90s that had released this year. (Also the higher price these have does that)
I've read these have forefoot air (something they had originally but was removed at some point), slight differences in shape and quality, and other features mimicking the originals, such as the use of a vintage-looking size tag and having the shoe size stamped inside the shoe.
Edit: here's one difference I didn't expect: the part of the outsole that's attached to the top of the toecap is completely different on the Air Max III vs the Air Max 90. Wider ridges on the Air Max III vs the Air Max 90. Apparently my pair of volts also have a really poorly cut plastic piece.

Need a release date for both of these. I’m guessing early 2021 for both. Post infrared release. Regardless I need them.

Maybe also to take into account is the fact the were simply called air max ,
so if the goal is to recreate them correctly they should not have added the III.
but they have.
In my opinion it is a very intransparent strategy,
so I just cannot tell why they really did it.
but there must be a reason. why give the recraft only recrafted uppers and call it 90 ? and give the III the completely recrafted works down to the red lines under the insole? it is the same shoe!
Very interested in your point of view ,and insights of all members
