Saw this pic on FB a few weeks ago shortly after the AM1 ‘Hemp’ drop…obviously these shoes are of a different size and whoever set up the photo didn’t take that into account, but kind of interesting to see the difference in toe shape (and the color of the suede)…

The original poster was pointing out the differences based on retailer (?)…one was purchased at Nike, the other at Patta…which...I dunno...I suppose that happens. But I don’t know if I buy that…unless…different factories stock goes to different retailers?

Years ago I got a pair of Air Max 90 'Sunsets of Rio' and one shoe was made in a Vietnamese factory and the other shoe was made in an Indonesian factory and the differences were VERY obvious. So much so that I returned them (wish I would have taken pics).

I know the TN heads are keen on factories, and NB heads are uniquely attuned to factory issues (based on continent), but, as far as I know…AM1 heads haven’t gotten there yet…

Thoughts?
