THE OFFICIAL AIR MAX 1 THREAD

[APLUS]

umm have you not read any of my post since ive joined?  i hate all things new tech.  hahaha, nah im joking. but real talk, some heads can confirm that im the first one to cast shade on tapes, moires, ultras, BRs, hyperfuses or anything else thats new age super techy.  i dont even like zeros.  i dont believe it was a design put away and forgotten by hatfield.  the numbers dont add up. its a conspiracy to get yall to be hyped about everything he does.  the materials and design is just a deviated anomaly in the sequence of chronology.  just doesnt look like it fits where they say it does.  

ford didnt draw up the delorian with 2.21 gigawatts on the flux capacitor, put away the design and said, ehh lets go with the model T instead.  thats what the zero feels like to me.  

anyway, htm are blah in my opnion.  alll new tech hybrids lack that timeless, clean cut design.  they all look like just a cool variant of an OG design that i would rock as gym sneaker.  the only newish thing ive even remotely considered is the am 1 v patch paris.  and i wouldnt break a date for its ending bid.  

rant over.  

I partially agree with you. The design of the Zero doesn't seem too crazy for 1987 though. It's the fact that Nike is using 2015/2016 materials on the final product.

If they would use the OG AM1 mid/outsole and materials more time specific to the late 80's then it would be an entirely different shoe.

Instead, they're using the Ultra mid/outsole and what appears to be their tape material on the upper.

Either way, I'm not a fan of the Zero but it would be interesting to see a version that's more accurate to it's original sketches.....if it was in fact designed in the late 80's.

As for the Air Max 1's with new technology- the Air Max 1 Lunar (OG Red) has become one of my favorite pairs in recent memory. That Lunar midsole makes it the most comfortable of my pairs in the AM1 family.

this should happen.  just to see how diff it would look.

My favorite recent 2016 iD (because its original ha) but don't let shape fool you, these have been slightly reshaped by owner

These right here are beautiful. May need to have a pair for myself.

 

[liveinam]

Wrong size so these are being returned.

Pendletons came in, quite pleased with them

Yeah, agreed...for the most part. Diggin' the zero's though. Well, kinda. My Zero's are super comfy and look pretty dope EXCEPT FOR THAT TOE BOX!! They are looking like they are barking at moon right now. Pointed straight to the sky!! Drives me crazy.

But yeah, not a big fan of most of what you mentioned. I do like the lightness and the comfort of the moir bottoms though.

Does Nike outlet accept returns after being worn?
My girl has some Flyknit Zooms that are killing her feet. She has wore them out (1 time). She got them about 2 weeks ago.

wrong thread?  

they will if it looks like you havent worn them thoroughly.  even if they have, ive seen cases of accepting a return when the customer was hella nasty.  dont be that guy tho.

I've done a complete 180 on ultra essentials and hyperfuse in general. I picked up a pair of the OG reds and I love them. They look great, the toe is nice, they're comfortable, and the fit is great. I even wore them to the gym. These are now my go to.

I've had my eye on the red and blue ultras for awhile now, just hoping I can catch them on sale. Would you say the am1 ultras fit TTS?

 

[dtb00201]

TTS for me

for those with air max 1 safaris. If you shaved down the suede on the toebox, how did you do it?
Nail clippers, buzzer/trimmer or just flattened and heated it?

Pics I've seen with the suede trimmed down look great. Just worried I'll take too much off or mess it up.

I believe you can return worn merchandise up to 30 days, and unworn anytime.

Hair trimmer with the guard off, fairly easily process and I'm completely happy with the results.

Thanks

I've return shoes that I haven't worn in a year. As long as you still have your original receipt. They have no problem with. I've also return used pairs with the original receipt. Depends on the person behind the cash register
