The Official Nike Air Max 90 Thread

[Lucky13s]

My old job was pretty casual so most days I wore AMs or Js. But, by being an invaluable employee and also becoming known as a sneaker-connoisseur, I’d get away with things like being on SNKRS app during meetings or taking 90 minute lunches to go pick up raffle wins. I’d bring the sneakers in for show-and-tell. My co-workers held Off-White Chicago’s in their hands, even though none of them knew (or cared) what they were.

Edit: Forgot to mention, when I finally left the company (after many years), boss gave me a nice Nike gift card. I appreciated the gesture.

Pretty much the same. Couple of years ago, my company dropped the business casual rule since we rarely had clients come in, it's dress casual, but no t-shirts or shorts. Co-workers start to know you as the "sneaker guy". They'll comment on the colors. I may have even used office supplies for shipping to GOAT and Stockx lol. Been fortunate a couple of times to be blessed with Nike Employee Store passes too since everyone knows me as the sneaker guy.

Can't believe I forgot about the infrared release. Smh

I'm very grateful that I could wear whatever footwear I want at work. I'm in the healthcare field as a nurse, and I'm known as "the sneaker guy" at work . It's pretty funny because my closest coworkers often tell me that I'm "a bad influence" because I make them (not intentionally lol) spend more money on sneakers Before I started working at this position, one of those coworkers only wore Cole Haans / business casual footwear. Now, they're wearing Air Maxes, NBs, etc on the daily!

Anyone can point me in the direction of the Nordic's in a size 13?

I'm curious.. anyone here wears sneakers like those (relatively neutral in term of color like these) in a business casual setting? If so, what are the limits and is it because you consider yourself established/experienced?

The previous answers are great, but to give you some usable advice ... you have to make the call based on where you work and what the culture is. I work in media/publishing. In LA. So it's pretty casual in our office during normal times. I can wear anything I want in terms of shoes. But that's where I work, just like the other comments are based on where they work. If I worked in an accounting firm or law office, it probably wouldn't matter that I was "the sneaker guy." If you work somewhere where everyone else is wearing a suit and tie, you aren't wearing sneakers unless you're looking for a new job LOL

If you work somewhere where sneakers are normal, then in my view, it doesn't matter WHICH sneaker you choose to wear. I mean, I'd die laughing if my boss said, yo, THOSE sneakers are inappropriate, but those other ones you wear aren't.

I need a lil help.. I got caught in a downpour and my volt 90s were soaked. Now they have a yellowish tint to the mesh. Any suggestions on getting them whit again? I tried Jason Mark and Crep protect cleaner.. No Bueno. Apologies if this is the wrong place for this question.

I only ever got static when I was a FedEx driver. 2015 Infrareds don't meet the dress code but my boss had bigger problems and let it slide. I worked at TV station and it was super casual. I work in an office now and can wear whatever. No dress code is super important to me.

Spray white vinegar on the mesh, let it dry in the sun for a bit. Try dish soap first though (I have good luck with dawn)

This is spot on. Being able to "judge the room" is the key.

I keep trying to tell myself that i don't like these...but there is something really cool about them...I think im just a sucker for the new shape...so sleek

I hope they sit and i can find for under retail

[crumps brother]

Anyone have any leads on where to pick up the blue corks? At this point I assume they're not dropping in the US?

I still haven't forgotten that you asked me if they fit like recrafts this year

I got my pair from stockx for $120...my size has since dried up on there and they're weren't popping up on ebay

now there's only two asks in my size on stockx, $240 and $269 so hopefully you don't wear size 9.5

But don't you wear beaters to work? Risky environment?

 

[Aquarius Snake]

To add to the discussion, everywhere I’ve worked you can either wear sneakers on day 1 as long as you have a nice “business casual” outfit on, or once I prove myself, they don’t care. I live in San Diego and California might be more laid back with office attire than other states.

i wear everything fam...no less risky than you going to the supermarket or subway lol covid literally dont scare me. if that **** had a higher transmission and mortality rate like ebola then you might be on to something. i also dont work inpatient anymore so i dont deal with nasty **** like Cdiff or MRSA anymore, that would be when i have regulated beaters..

 

[TunedAirLombardy]

Seems like in general it's pretty relaxed.

On my side I could pretty much come up dressed how I wanted in academia, so always wore AMs. However since I transitioned to industry, the most "sneaker" shoe I was able to wear were black Stan Smiths...even if I'm in front of a computer all day -_-

 

[big1236]

i work for the gov and it's business casual. I'm also in HR so i wear khakis but the pockets look like jeans (does that make sense?) and a nice collard/dress shirt along with any sneakers that may match.

I wear the loud obnoxious ones on fridays.....

 

[23mj88]

It’s such *** that Nike Canada rarely puts anything on sale to the degree of the US...we never have codes for ****.

 

[in cognito]

I switched to nike around 1990 , already was wearing sneakers .
Became a musician, for about 15 years but grew tired of the endless failures and started my own small cleaning company and grew a zz top beard .
by then I had no more regular shoes or bosses for that matter .
I'll come to your wedding/funeral or interview in sneakers. no offence intended.

Violet blends from sneaker room just arrived. These things are wild. Not bad for $77. They come in the biggest box too.
