How are peoples crepe’s wearing in? I had crepe sole on Clark’s desert boots and it got a little funky after a bit.

Like someone else said, it’s not actual crepe.
Just a standard rubber outsole shaped like crepe.

Whats up guys. Since it’s Air Max month I want to share a story. I absolutely fell in love with the Courdoroy AM1 when I saw the first sample pics on NT. Back then I was in college, broke and living near Philadelphia. They released at Ubiq in late fall maybe Oct or Nov and sold out. Resale was around $50-100 above retail. Fast forward 2 months later I’m back in NYC for winter break. One day I randomly checked the Nike Retro Outlet thread in the AM and someone posted that 21Mercer still had a few pairs of AM1 Cordouroys and they were on sale. I headed to Mercer and managed to get the last 3 pairs. None were my size, but I still got them. I figured Id eventually find someone to trafe with. I ended up paying around 170 for these 3 pairs. They were 50% off so they were 55 or 65 each. I cant remember exactly. Unfortunately I dont own any pairs any more. I sold them within the same year for a little above retail. The most I got for a pair was like $175. Moral of the story kids. Dont sell your Air Maxes. The tag is my Twitter name.

I just got an invite for the On Air workshop in NYC. I guess they are calling it "Dept of Unimaginable" this year. I did it last year and had a blast but the invite is for Monday and not sure I can swing flying up for it on such short notice this time. Going to see if a buddy can sub in for me. If anyone else signed up, check your emails.

Just saw the Have a Nike Day in store.... quality is a 3.2/10. The panels look like they were cut with dull scissors and the mesh was like sandpaper. I wanted to like them, but easy pass.

That's why I haven't copped yet. It's not the money, it's the principle. If I could get them for $100+ tax or less, I'll bite. (I did, actually, but Finish Line canceled my order).

Meh, I'd argue the moral of the story is "wear your Air Maxes." I'm sure the three people you sold to wore them and were verry happy, and you made a solid profit considering what you paid for them and market value at the time. Sucks you didn't get your size, but if you really wanted them you could've bought your size after selling those three pairs, so I'm guessing you didn't really want them that badly for yourself at the time.

It’s hit or miss with this pair. I’ve returned 2 pair already because of horrible quality. I have seen some really nice pair in person tho; unfortunately not my size. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hit or miss with every Nike release imo. Really annoying but at least they drop and drop nice CWs.

Your post inspired a look back for me. Here is my rotation from 2007. I have only a couple of these left. I assumed the wave of great releases and collaborations would continue so I sold most.

First pair of "Tokyo Maze" I've seen from actual production run (ie not a sample), shown by Yuta Takuman - the designer of the shoe.
