Gross...don't do it!  There are too many AI1 of all flavors on ebay and even retail (ex. FNL) for less than retail.  Are these special to you for some reason, or are you just looking for an inexpensive pair of AM1?

they deff can but nike is not gonna use the old AM1 mould cuz it would take more materials to manufacture the upper

and more materials means that i will cost more money, they will maybe save 1-2 dollars by using the new mould

but if you multiply that with 200000 pairs of shoes it will be a lot money what they have saved

i think keep complaining about  the shape/quality is a good thing, cuz nike is deff monitoring NT

maybe 1 day they will gonna remaster the AM1s like what they are now planning to do with the Jordans

Why do you think the newer mold uses less material?  There's still the same number of pieces from what I can see.  I think it has to do with old molds deteriorating, and the new ones are off, along with quality control issues.  No?
 
What's a good way to clean dirt from the standard white midsole?  Scrubbing with baby wipes gets a lot of dirt off, but not everything that's inside the texturing.  I'm really starting to hate all of the white misdole AMs and Jays that I've been purchasing recently!

the new mould indeed use the same amount of pieces, you are right about that, but those pieces dont have the same dimensions as the pieces from the old mould, go compare a 2005 pair with a 2010 pair and you will see what i mean, and even if the old mould are so called deteriorating (what they arent imo

) they can easily replicate exact the same mould with nowadays technology, but fcking Nike refuse to do that and try to be smart and create a new crappy mould to maximize their profit and keep on squeezing the money out of the (loyal) consumers, they also changed the mould for the AM90 in 2011, a lot of people dont know that because the differences in shape are not very noticable on the AM90s, if you compare the AM90 laser blue from 2010 with the 2012 release you will see the differences, the backtab is smaller the height from the shoe is lower etc etc, i also have dropped a post with comparison pics in the AM90 thread but i cant find it right now, the only thing what we can do is complaining about it and hopefully Nike will change their mind and will go back to the old shape with some decent materials
 
eBay item number: 151370688016

saw these on evilbay for 140 BIN sz 10.5

deff a nice deal imo, the seller is dumb as hell to let them go for that price

^sweet baby Jesus those unluckys are beautiful. I'm a bigger fan of the original luckys but those AM1s don't do it for me. Beautiful customs either way.
