The Official Nike Air Max 90 Thread

[MAIN INGREDIENT]

I figured if i wanted them distressed, i would rather do it myself.

Yeah - Judging by the right Air Force posted, it's a gamble.. that huge rip / weird white patch on the tip / mudguard sucks.. Light distressing is ok I guess, but like you said just beat 'em.

seandon23 , The reps are required send requests like these to corporate. Like I said, near 0% chance it moves the needle, but it’s better than nothing and takes about 2 minutes.

Agreed regarding the distressed look.

Both of my pairs have it. I’m just hoping they didn’t distress them to that degree (seen on the right AF1). The mild distressed look (left AF1) doesn’t look bad at all, IMO. I just hope we get another opportunity to order more.

Isnt it the levis company that provides the materials for the shoe? If so, we'd be waiting on them, i would assume. Nike wouldnt be able to do anything without having the denim to produce these.

I thought the way they had laid the distressing down looked too mechanically applied, and doing it isnt really that hard, just gotta have the right tools.

I thought they had pre-distressed material as opposed to distressing the shoe after build? Bleaching pairs might look good as well.. Some folks made some quality AM1 pairs a while back..

Thatd be the easiest way, but it would also be harder to apply the distress to places on the shoe that would be more natural for it to be distressed.

Seeing the AF1 made me think that.. Why would you have that terrible fraying on the tip? Looks random to me..

 

[migu420]

Kinda looks like someone kicked a big spiderweb and it got stuck on the shoe. I imagine theres gonna be a ton of "would haves, should haves, could haves". It actually shows how good these options were. Which is crazy because with all the options, they sure didnt have a lot of the actual materials.

eh I guess but it seems like a waste of time for both you and the reps to have to deal with this. This situation is out of their control and I doubt trying to move it up to corporate is going to shed light on anything. But do what you think is necessary

Wow.. "sherpa lining" and orthopedic shape First there's not enough shoes.. then there's these shoes, this drop is beyond bizarre..

[agrizzly21]

Thanks for posting those. Sherpa is so bad those look like fakes to me. Glad to see that change to be made on mine if these make it back.

Yep. Don’t even care that I missed out anymore.

[KnowTheLedge]

Pass on those Levi’s, for sure.

More Levi’s photos from IG

They look very very bad, right. But I still hope with the right color/material combo good pairs are possible.

Shape is awful, but we know what a bad angle can do.

Okay, pretty naive I know.
