Infared 90s, and neon 95s are pure classics. Forget the hype, these cws create the two greatest air maxes ever released.

I'm not denying it but I still think it's an ugly colorway. The design of the shoe was what made it hot, not the color. Well, to someI'm sure it was the color, but the staying power was the design.Originally Posted by Mayhemgatz
the shoe is only as classic as it's OG colorways defined it to be.Originally Posted by LeronJames
The model of the shoe has nothing to do with the color. AM90's are a classic model, Infrared is a hyped color on an AM 90.Originally Posted by ultrasur1
sure, it's been hyped a bit, but it's a simply a timeless & classic model that's still popular among diehards
the infrared colorway is as important to the AM90 as the royal is to the foamposite one, just like neon to the 95, the varsity red to the AM87, blk/red to any jordan, blk/blue to any penny and so on and so on.....
Yeah, they just look so dope to me for some reason. I don't know why, but they just seem to stand out so well on my feet. Appreciated, indeed.Originally Posted by ultrasur1

The way I always saw it were two reasons. Back when bright colors were in, around the late 80's/early 90's (watch Fresh Prince episodes and you can see how the style was back then), anything with neon colors were "in" style. Since retro everything are in now, that's explains why infrareds, as well as neon yellow, and other loud colors are in. Nobody wanted these in say, 2000. Plus, throughout the years, air maxes remained in, especially the OG's (infrared).
This is the other reason why I think infrared is popular. It has just remained a staple color for Nike. A bright, standout (or accent) color (just a hint, not on the whole sneaker), over plain neutral colors like black, white or grey, just plain "stand out" and looks good.
