Tuff. Sometimes I regret selling mine but I never really wore them and needed the cash at the moment. One day I'll have to try and find a DS pair of Anniversarys

I had the 2023 Big Bubbles after wanting the University Red colorway for so long, but I really didn't like the midsole change around the larger air unit. Something about that seam running through it that interrupts the horizontal grooves looks off to me. I didn't mind the shape of the upper, but...

Palaces came in. I know this probably isn't a well-liked shoe in this thread, but I fell in love with the 90s retrofuturistic vibe and the callback to the Silver Bullet 97. Bought a pair of '22s years ago from Flight Club, and the package never arrived

Contender for my personal sneaker of the year honestly

Menthol 93 today

Goddamn both pairs look amazing. Air Max Plus vibes with those colorways

Better look at the Menthols. In bright sunlight, the yellowing isn't too bad and the Swoosh is growing on me

I didn't mind the shape at all, but I couldn't get past the different midsole without the lines/grooves to accommodate the bigger air unit. If they went back to the OG midsole with a big bubble, I'd be all over em

What's this thread's consensus on the Big Bubble? I picked these up when they first dropped cause I always wanted a pair of University Reds. But while I love the 95 BB, something about the 1 throws me off. I think its the midsole; that seam or whatever running from either side of the air unit...

Hopefully they fix the paint on the midsole too with a re-release. I knew the 2018s had yellowing issues from browsing this thread; some folks' pairs started yellowing after just two years. The yellowing on the midsole is especially evident in this pic, compared to my 2020 Infrareds

Yep. They're just over 300 on StockX in my size (taxes/shipping included). Literally couldn't find them anywhere else besides eBay for a decent price, especially in DS condition

Really feeling those Palace 95s. I get how it looks like a greasy car part lol, but the gradient is very 90s. Like an inverse/dark version of the gradient found on the upper of other 90s Maxes, like the Plus/TN

Grabbed a DS pair of 2018 Menthols from eBay. Seller originally had em priced at 315 but there was a 50% discount, so I ended up paying 175ish. No box, and the midsoles, Swoosh, and bottom piping of the tongue are slightly yellowed. Which is all fine by me since I've wanted these for a while...

Maroon 6 today

Wore mine the other day, unDSed. They'll be fine
