The Official Nike Air Max 90 Thread

That sucks! Look for another sale and return those?

Hibbett's got 25% off right now to bring it down to $90. Was thinking about getting those and returning the wonky shoe back to them.

Finally unboxed these...

I didn't know those were packaged with Black laces!

Received turq pair from UBIQ a few weeks back and the sole on the left shoe is kinda wonky and off-centered. For $80 I can't really complain but it just looks weird from looking down.

I have some Volts that have that EXACT issue. Everything else is fine, but it's just off center on one side that's only noticeable looking down. I bought these from Bloomingdales and since I already wore them, I won't want to deal with trying to return them. Contacted Nike and they said I can put a claim in and if they determine it's a factory defect they will credit me back the amount the NDC has them for, which would be enough to purchase a new pair. I don't know if I want to waste time if they think it's fine and end up returning them back to me.

Got the lime colorway in. Some more views and on feet in the vid:

Spoiler

I did a hard comparison and to me the grey uppers between the OG box pairs and these are the same except for the swoosh which seems to be lighter on the orange pair (and darker on the turks). Making the overall upper of the orange pair seem darker, if that makes sense. At glance it looks darker because of this and honestly maybe it is by like 0.00001% but it is ever so slight, if at all. Can’t really tell in person.

So is the quality really hit or miss on these retros?

 

[zombiejohnny]

Im dying to cop a pair of one of these og style am90s but that white mesh toebox look like legit dirt magnets. Do they really get dirty that easily?

 

[us3less]

There's gotta be a way for me to clean this stain off... right? Jason Markk wipes?

Or soap, water, and toothbrush

 

[crumps brother]

I doubt you'll be able to remove the stain completely

throw in the idea of using a Mr Clean magic eraser as well

That’s easy. Get the heavy dirt off first with soap/small amount of laundry detergent & water. Do this with light gentle strokes (don’t want to damage or further stain the fabric) using a light bristle brush or a tooth brush (a wash cloth will work too just try to make sure it’s a white one if you do that). Let dry a little then come back over it a tide pen or magic eraser and you should be good. Try to use as less water as possible during the process. That doesn’t look that bad honestly. Easy work if you can finesse it.

More miss than hit

God damn jjs

 

[tonytobacco]

Jjs seems to have forgotten to mind the length of the gray toe rands from rubber to mesh on the 2 new colors. Everything else is ok-ish. My orange has the ol uneven mudguards and a weird tiny striped pattern on the gray suede of the right shoe. Just get em out there, Nike i guess

Just had to be the orange one

 

[KnowTheLedge]

Both came today.

 

[Nipsey3000]

Just waiting on the orange pair now...still hasn't shipped yet. Hope they don't cancel the order.

 

[KnowTheLedge]

I thought the grey was darker but it isn’t. They’re just the same as the others from the first wave of anniversary pack. NBY id’s are still darker. Kind of glad finish line didn’t cancel my order greens were kind of iffy

Its the swoosh bro.

Its the swoosh bro.

True it’s the same color though in my opinion.

 

[AirLoMax614]

No complaints my way.. best $20 or so bucks I've ever spent (discount + gift card)

 

[us3less]

AirLoMax614 dhtowng crumps brother - thanks for the tip, guys! Will give it a try tonight. Yeah, it honestly doesn't look too bad, but when you see it up close... haha. Perspectives.

 

[tonytobacco]

So the oranges are definitely happening again in a couple weeks?

Probably dumping my pair on sx/ebay if so
