The Official Nike Air Max 90 Thread

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

I think adding the "III" name to these particular OG remakes, provides history for folks who may not know they're the 3rd Air Max.

And those other recrafts that aren't OG colorways have not gotten the OG treatment (tagging, forefoot air, red lines on footbed, etc. etc.), because they're not OG colorways. They're simply retro + colorways. Dump-downs if you will.

How much did the Orange come out to? Waiting to get the Orange ones for $80 or less.

With the Volt it was $25 off order. Volt + shipping was $80. Orange was $106 shipped. I missed out when the orange first dropped on sale at $90. Every restock sold out quick. Saw them finally sitting and JJ was the only one with a little discount so I didn't feel like waiting. They might get cheaper but FL stores still exclude codes.

I scooped the AM III Concord from Corporate. They did a solid and shipped to Canada. Hopefully here mid next week!

Are they releasing with that orange air unit? SMH, the OG didn't have an orange air bubble

thank you Nike for actually making retro’s where true fans are able to cop easily for retail.

2017 was so frustrating w/the 87 anniversary pairs initially. these 90’ retro’s all were made in abundant #’s. Hopefully I’m able to double/triple for cheap soon

Scopped for wife first, now need personal.

 

[rhinosport]

W's for everyone! A nice easy release for once. . .

 

[MrKDes]

just gotta wait and see

i was patient with volts and got them for $55, now i dont expect anything like that for these Concords but I'll take em for $70-$80 lol

you can always buy now from Nike and if you find them online later at a discount buy again and return one pair to Nike for the full refund.
can even return the pair you bought for full price and wore too lol.
nike’s return policy is the best

 

[rhinosport]

^^ That's what I do too. The look of the cashier when I return something of value. . . .(Priceless)

 

[boldnewbflakes]

Once those Concords drop at the outlets ima scoop a pair for the wife. Also the way that the Laser Blues sitting too looks like ima scoop some pairs for myself for the low, patience is key guys

Nike’s return policy is the best in the game. You can literally run across the desert and walk in the swamp in those shoes and still be able to return them 60 days into wearing them with no problem. It’s so broken

No question, I had a hoody & jogger fit I picked up from them that I ended up returning 2 years later still new in packaging

I do like their return policy, but Idont abuse it lol

I mainly used it for running and training shoes. If i didnt like the feel or any sort of discomfort after wear, I'd return. Lifestyle & clothing on the other hand, I send back as received.

 

[les_diabolique]

100% yes

Is that only if it's within a 30 day period? I know they'll take deadstock stuff back months or a couple of years later.

Once they allow the military disco I’m in on Concords. Hopefully that’ll be soon since they’re sitting.

100% OG gangsta

all of those are OG colorways (all leather except for the first)

Bonus:

 

[us3less]

Damn, they were $110 back in 1990? I thought they were a bit cheaper. $140 now doesn't seem so bad all of a sudden.

AM90 Day Of The Dead

Not my cup of tea, but I’m glad to see Nike actually trying to make the design match the culture. These actually look like Mexico.
