THE OFFICIAL AIR MAX 1 THREAD

what did you have to be so persistent with them about? regarding scheduling? did they ask for something down before your appt? did the total cost of the shoe vary based on materials or was it a flat 1k?

Because I wasn't getting responses back, and then when I did, that dude went on vacation or some **** so then I had to go back to the normal mercer email and ask them what the deal was and I think I eventually just found Jonathan's email on google or some **** and then he helped me finally get something set in stone. Even with that I was semi nervous bc I asked for some sort of email confirmation or something to ensure I was good but all I got was an email saying "you're good" - so I just went for it ha. Of course my wife and I walk in 10 min early and then they come up to me and say "you here for bespoke Am1? Well Jonathan is sick and he's not feeling well..." I wish they had my face on camera bc I about threw up. But he just ended up having a migraine and walked into the appoint 20-30 late and a new trainee had already got me started showing me all materials and what not. Thats what takes some time...going through all the drawers bc you don't NOT want to see whats all to offer you know?

$1K + Tax is the price

Mine were $1,000 flat. That included everything, the shoes and box with 3 sets of laces and shoe trees plus shipping from factory to mercer and them from mercer to me, $1,000 straight up.

Do you wear them sparingly or regularly?

Ive worn them 3 times so far, I got them in the middle of winter and I live in Indiana and it's been all dirty and slushy out so waiting for spring or semi nice weather to really start wearing them. The design consultant had told me he think the shape actually gets better the more you wear them.

Nope that was my first question.

I was going to do powerwall print, and the have a clear sole with the big swoosh under it like on Jewel's or like the foot pic on Clots but you can't do either of those...trust me I had some awesome ideas and they all got shot down haha

I ordered it through

Mh... On that site says that they don't ship to Italy, but in the atmos site they ship here(I know that because I accidentally ordered a pair and cancelled the order after 5 mins... LOL). Maybe I'll just use that crappy english translation and hope for the best if I'll purchase that pair.

@rawdawg34  i was thinking about doing all waxed canvas upper with a wool or a leather mud guard for my second pair.  whats your thoughts between the two.  waxed canvas go better with the pendleton leather or pendleton wool?

I think waxed canvas and/or wool with a leather mud guard create a good classic looking toe box. There are a few pics of good examples a few pages back. One guy did a great black and grey pair. Take a look.
 
My ID came in today
Wanted to do something with a black midsole and i thought about returning these the first time i opened them. Putting them on feet changed my mind :D
The denim is nice and soft. Leather is pretty nice too.
@Sneaker Savant my bad never got back to you but majority of people would say true to size or .5 up if you got wide feet.

some direct sunlight pics, which also suck. the royal blue leather is really nice

i really wish this iD shape was adopted across the board with releases. the pendleton iD has really reinvigorated my enthusiasm for the AM1 aside from the jordan VI, it is my favorite shoe of all time.
