The Official Nike Air Max 90 Thread

[purple sneaks]

Probably the most exciting release for me this year

Agreed

but then again any OG cw air max to come out is an excitement for me

 

[2fnquik]

Heating up..

Pair #1 of Infrareds down, at least 2 more to go....

Figured I’ll get one pair outta the way now and then try for MSRP once they drop. I try not to jump the gun but eff it—these are tried and true classics. I won’t regret paying resale once I crack that box open...at least that’s what I’m telling myself.

^ You're paying to get them early + international shipping. Shipping internationally in general is $50-$60 now. That used to be $25-$30 10 years ago! Crazy times...

You go the stock x route?

Indeed.

Finally figured these out. They are an homage to the AS Roma soccer team’s current 3rd jersey. So you can find them by googling “AS Roma air max”.

Got them shipped from soccer.com for $142, after signing up for emails and joining their little buying club for $5.

[MAIN INGREDIENT]

Indeed.

Am tempted to pull trigger on SX as well.. staying strong for now

 

[MrKDes]

Gentlemen

and stay strong. Everyone shall feast.

I’m positive. #optimistic

 

[MAIN INGREDIENT]

I wish you could see the actual pair you're copping on SX.. That's where eBay rules, don't want any dents or creases on the tip yo!

 

[MrKDes]

[nako xl]

Indeed.

Man this is the same conundrum I've faced every year since the Bred 1s dropped in 2013. Do I pay $50-90 more now for less stress later, or take an L and then spend the next year scrambling and end up paying that $90 more later anyway and consider it a win cuz retail by then is $300+

AS Roma doesn't have a soccer team...
They have a football team tho

Pretty sure these will be plentiful like all the other ogs out here. The drop will be anticlimactic as we all rush to get a pair day one only to them see full size runs sitting across the internet in the aftermath.

i have a question that has probably beenasked a million times but how many colorways of the air max 90 were originally released?

 

[ny2dc]

Indeed.

what did that hit for at the end of the day?

Man, I sure hope SO, because I'm REALLY tempted to cop off StockX... But I know I need to wait for the release...

There you go mate
3 women: Eggplant, Hot Coral, Concord (pictured below)
7 men: Infrared, Laser Blue, Spruce Lime, Leather Obsidian, Leather Black, Leather White, Leather Red (pictured below)

You could also add the US President cw, which (I think) we will 100% never get because Nike wouldn't associate their image with Trump
Anyway, it wasn't released to the public...

 

[shawnoen]

#3 is the Sunburst which was one of the original woman's colors.

Coral.

 

[shawnoen]

Interesting. I remember the color what it 1st came out but can't remember the name. Looks like "hot coral" and the "sunburst" are essentially the same.
