Is the shiny material on these just a coated suede same as the Fear 5s?
I really dig the colorway but don't like the shiny material. I'm wondering if I can just hit them with a stiff bristle wave brush like I did my Fears to get rid of the shine and pluck up the natural suede underneath...
Willing to bet they are actually mens.
Nike likes to do this sometimes, with Air Maxes in particular. Snipes is a European company. For some reason, Euro accounts will occasionally get womens colorways in actual men's sizing with actual mens lables. They've done this with a number of Air Max...
Eh, the milky blue tint helps them from yellowing so fast. People used to complain about how Reebok clear soles stayed fresh so much longer than Jordans, so JB started using a similar formula/tint.
Anyone remember how early retros had crystal clear glossy soles? Looked great new but turned...
Yeah, somehow a spot of yellow made its way pretty high up the sole in thr casting process. Happens a lot on 2 tone clear/solid soles like 5s and 6s, but usually a lot closer to where the 2 rubbers meet.
^Bet
For those still without, CHECK LOCAL FOOT ACTIONS!
All their phone lines down since covid for some reason but after checking the mall and finding small sizes at one spot, hit up another one and got em in store no hassle.
Dude said they've had them out on the floor over a week. So looks...
Oh and I'm sure it's been mentioned, but GPs PEs were made with the original molds/lasts/castings until 2012/2013 when the ball got rolling on the retro. At which point, any PEs for him or his son were made just like the cheaper retros.
The Flight 98 is a strange shoe in a few regards. It...
Interestingly, OGs had 4 independent Zoom units per shoe. They were divided in a similar manner as the outsole pattern. 1 in heel, large forefoot, then 1 small one directly under big toe and other small one under other 4 toes.
I can't confirm whether any other early Zoom shoes used a similar...
Good look! Thanks.
And sorry for the confusion :lol: its billy with the Air Max library. Shows how long it's been since I've been here but these Tuned 99s brought me out of retirement.
Weird. I sent an offer, seller accepted... Shoes have been "Authenticating" for nearly a week now.
Tbh, I wish there was an option as a buyer to opt out of having them authenticated. I just want my ****.
The entire reason I prefer eBay for shoes is most sellers post pics of the actual pair...
Had the Broncos colorway in these but I can live without them. Never been a huge fan.
The AM2000 though, now those I'd like to see again.
Airmaxdisciple, I know you have a huge library of old Maxes. Do you have a pic of the Black/neon colorway? Searched for it but couldn't turn anything up...
