The Official Nike Air Max 90 Thread

'sup fellas. After being a lurker for a very long time I thought I would actually sign up and say hello. I'm Craig, and I'm from the land of Kangaroos and Koalas. Have been wearing AM90's since I was 13 (I'm now 35). Getting ID's to Australia is too much of a mission so every couple of days I trawl eBay for people thinning out their collections or even samples since I'm a size 9. Below are my purchases from the past couple of months. I've only got a small collection (13 in total).

Pretty sure these are my next ID purchase - soles are translucent, but they probably look pretty cool like that - at least until they yellow. 

I'm still debating getting the Sport red or Atomic red, but I'm kinda upset with the durability of my Light Crimson ID's 

some of my issues on my crimsons - which I think look ALOT similar to the Atomic Red. Pretty bad chipping after light wear - wore them probably less than ten times. You can see the chipping get considerably worse with every wear. The photos actually look better than they are in person - the red drowns out the chipping in the photos and makes it harder to see. Probably going with the sport red, if I can talk myself into buying another pair.

bring them to a restorer and let them airbrush the midsole with some red paint

they would need to be stripped of chipping paint and fully redone - or else they will just continue chipping. I'm not sure I want to spend $50-$75 getting a $160 shoe restored.

i think im gonna cop, but any info on a possible US release? disciple where you at? haha

im also iffy on the sizing, since the new 90s have been running long and narrow.
