Bro I will tell u this, my snakes just came in from Hanon. I dont really ever get excited about a shoe when i get it but holy **** the quality of these snakes is so damn lovely!! Leather is like Tillamook butter soft and even the damn laces are nice quality and made me hesitant to swap with the blk w/ infrared tip set i bought for them haha. They ended up being $165 shipped. As of now i think they have 10.5 as biggest. Theyre worth the extra $35 above retail. 
 
So did Nike just randomly pushed back the release date of the Infrareds? All these stores are claiming that they are releasing on the 28th now. smh
 
Was at house of hoops MOA last night and they said the still releasing this Sat. Wish I was still there this weekend to get a pair.

I'm of going to call my local FTL in the morning.
 
Just scooped up a pair of the Infrared 90's @ Finish Line. Got a pair of DS 2010's to compare them to as well. I can readily see the toe mesh is different. Will do a side by side when I get settled in @ home.

Beware. My photo game isn't that nice.

my shop got both men's and GS sizes and they're releasing this Saturday. if you're in or around the Pasadena area, hit up neo39. it's FCFS.

the leather on the GS is really shiny for some reason. wish they used the same material as the men's. passing on GS.

2010 boxing on the left, 2015 boxing on the right. As you might be able to notice after blowing up the pic, I got my 2010 DS pair from a outlet for $59.99

2010 on the left, 2015 on the right. The immediate noticeable difference is the mesh.

Bottom view. The color of the infrared is distinguishable to the trained eye.

Mud guard texture on the 2015 pair. Has a Members Only leather jacket vibe to it. Also notice the frayed cut around the "Air Max" logo.

2010 mud guard view. I like the cleaner cut around the logo better on this pair.

Only shot where the 2015 pair is on the left. Infrared color darker and glossier on the 2015 pair.



Final Thoughts

As always the differences are subtle. May be a little too extreme for some but at the end of the day it's an Infrared 90. I have no complaints but would I pay $120 for another pair? Probably not. If I can catch some pairs under $100 I probably would. With that being said, these will be placed at the end of the Infrared 90 rotation and will be worn proudly when that time comes. Peace NT Fam!!!

Big fan of this shoe so it's hard for me to be harsh on it. Might be one of my top 3 sneakers of all-time. Always like to keep a fresh pair of these on deck. Even the beaters get love depending on the occasion.

Ill tell you what they did, they found cheaper materials and manufacturing techniques and then charge us $20 more.

Thats what they did.

Mesh is junk.

Wont be buying this years for me. Will grab for a friend though.
 
Has anyone seen the AM90 Liberty's on foot? I know its a women's shoe but I was thinking of coping them anyway. Just wondering if anyone has already got them and what they think?
 
Will these Infareds be limited? Been wanting a pair & I'm hella late, just found out they coming out Sat.
 
Did anyone just get a notification on the SNKRS app that the AM 90 Infrared will release on the app?

I clicked out of it before I read the whole thing
