I'm not understanding why the 96 Air Max doesn't get any love? I would like to hear some opinions. I'm biased because when I was in high school the 95,96, and 97's were the most dope air maxes ever. Nike promotes the hell out of the 95's and 97's but why not the 96's?

BC they don't want to produce the OG midsole. It'll be another mold they can't reproduce and mass produce.

Sandwhiched between 2 classics.

The 97 came out real quick after the 96 too.

Dope tho.

Thanks for the clarification but what I've read is that they have swapped the 96 midsole with the 95 so why or how could they not mass produce? It was an interesting year for Nike. Two Air Max 96's that year. I'm still a huge fan of them.
