Air Max Plus II’s.
In 1999, I convinced my mom to buy me a pair of these for my birthday (you can probably still see the catalog shot @eastbay.archive ) - and she did.
When they arrived, I tried them on - didn’t like how they felt (and also thought she spent too much money on them) so I told her she could just return them instead. She did.
It was kind of a hassle for her - a few days later she said ‘I’m never going to order shoes for you again, so don’t ask.’ I didn’t.
Shoutout to ma, tho.

I created the card because I thought I’d never be able to own the shoe…the thought was ‘why would Nike ever retro such an obscure model?’
Sure enough, we got our retro. So far we’ve seen retros of t

Semi-srs question.
One day, NMDs will be retroed - when will the sneaker world be ready?

My #airmaxday sneakers…
Long story short - commissioned @sailboatsupplies on the sole swap after my stabs started crumbling…97 BWs were just gathering dust so I took a stab and it worked better than

Can’t lie - this one took me forever. It’s a lot of text. But it’s well thought out.
See, my ‘Jordans Buyers Guide’ (second slide) had all types of folks whining about the #6rings and I couldn’t fig

‘Nothing is sacred’ yea yea yea I know I know…but…something had me thinking the other day about the question: “How could Nike theoretically retro classics SB colorways?”
Obviously a lot of these woul

After seeing - yet another - release around the Flu Games sell out, it’s got me wondering when this next batch of ‘stories we must tell and retell and tell again’ will occur. And then just like that -

Was thinking of starting an IG series called ‘what is the worst thing about [this shoe]’…more from a technical aspect but I’m sure most would go over peoples heads…including this one.
Was going to s

Every time I see a pair of these (in this case - @churchofkicks is selling some pairs on his story), I feel that twinge I used to feel before this whole ‘retro everything’ became a thing like 20 years

Feel like I waited forever for this retro cuz the tailwind 5 is a dope shoe. Kinda odd to me that they would just limit it to 6 pairs, tho.
Was the @skepta collab that big of a dud that they couldn’t

One of my favorite (sneaker) things to do is look at old models and say something like ‘damn, those were dope. Are they ever going to get retroed?’
Nike Air Max Solas.
I think I had 3 pairs of thes

The average time for a retro on the first 23 models is about 7-8 years…meaning every model in the first 23 had been retro’d within a relatively short window.
So far, nothing after the 23 has been ret

Kinda shocked these were an absolute dud…I blame the flooding of the ‘35+ year old silhouette’ retro strategy completely ravaged over the last few years…
Too many classic AJ1’s, AM1’s and dunks produ

I swear almost every time I come across a pair of used Flightposite 1’s I always immediately have to check the sole. 9 times out of 10…I swear…the soles are done. Irreparable. Why?
I mean the obvious

Owned a pair of these back in 98/99 kept them for probably 7-10 years…just a dope shoe. One of the metal eyelets popped out on my pair but still a solidly built shoe.
Kinda thought this was one of t

Dunno what ‘THaW’ means in the pic and dunno if that’s even a real pic of real Flightposite 3’s but I definitely think they’re overdue for a retro…this time I hope they can figure out how to make them

My first retail pickup in a lonnnnnnnng time.
If they weren’t a @stussy collab I could have waited til they hit ~$40, but felt the need to pull the trigger as prices didn’t seem to be dropping on the

Is there like a special team at adidas that gets to fly all over the world spending time in different cities and then makes dope silhouettes named after those cities?
Feels like every time I see anot
