THE OFFICIAL AIR MAX 1 THREAD

[perfectchaosrei]

Been eyeing the SR-019

Tried those on first and loved them but opted for the 13s cuz they’re slimmer

On topic: collabs have been fire this year and they’re more limited than GRs so understandable that they’d sell out versus a nice GR at the same price .

Plus folks are broke out here and or being more responsible with their purchasing habits. And I think resellers have been burned too many times and aren’t buying up everything

Have there been a lot of fakes floating around of the Cncpts Heavy pair? Stockx makes me a little nervous these days due to the allegations of their being tons of fakes being sold there.

I haven’t seen any. Why not use another platform top cop; StockX is definitely more suspect than others IMO

Do the pecans come with a second set of laces?

Brown laces. They definitely tone them down a bit.

Anyone got pics of the pecans with brown laces?

There’s pics of them with brown laces from the SNKRS feature posted in this thread on December 11th.

We moved houses 2 years ago. I kept 200 in my shoe room and the rest were in storage. In theory it would be great taking pairs to and from storage but it never happened for. The stuff in storage just sat there. And the mew boxes coming in mostly stacked in corners in my shoe room. 30 worn pairs scattered across the floor bc they won't fit on my wall and I'm too lazy to take stuff off the wall and take it to storage. It just became a mess and that room became a disaster. I want to get it back under control so I can enjoy tjay room instead of it just causing stress.

Im pretty much in the same boat but to a slightly lesser extent. Im sat on about 400-450 pairs I estimate. Its just become too much in the last 6 months or so. Im considering dumping a few hundred at least. The older pairs most likely first.

Its either spend a load on extra storage space at home or downsize.

I want to do a group photo before I start getting rid but even that will be a mammoth task.

Doesnt help that I live on a muddy farm in rural England. Pairs tend to get filthy even after 1 or 2 wears.

Assume these big bubble Golfs have been posted, not checking back 14 pages though….

2 Pair For Certain!

 

[dhtowng]

Buttery smooth

My honey dews are a day behind on shipping

 

[redblack35]

Was tricked by the second piece of paper inside lol. But glad i did go a half size up on these banger.

 

[rafbuddy]

If they ever did there would be changes

Glad these were kinda underrated but one of my fave AM1s from this year.

The only problem I had with these was the toebox. Straight cheese block

 

[aceofjays]

I’m actually about to let my Blueprints find a new home lol

Respect dblplay1212

I am also moving into the next phase of my admiration for sneakers and air max 1s specifically.

And...

While my "collection" is nowhere as extensive as yours and some of my true am1 slack brethren also here on NT, I'm to the point now where I'm getting off pairs that have no chance of being worn by me.

In addition, from now on, I'll be super selective on what I cop. I may even adopt a 1 for 1 policy to limit myself moving fwd. (If I cop one, I have to sell one)

At some point, enough is enough.

Imo

I agree, sometimes even now, when I buy one, I immediately think will I actually wear this or does it just have a shade different than another pair I have to justify the purchase but not justify keeping them. We mock the hype but it gets us as well.

The sneaker support group talk coming timely with the New Year.

 

[jc5123]

haha we all go through it. I've purged a few times over the years. Had a few hundred jordans at one point and sold them all to move to a new city. Then had pretty much every asics and diadora worth having and sold all of those to fund the reno's on buying our first house.

they come they go but some how nike always pulls me back in

 

[vinnuendo]

Yeah werd I wouldn't amass any of these shoes if they wouldn't give me some kind of return in case of emergency or bigger/better things. I just did the math on all my 2022 cops (old and new releases), 17 pairs for about $3,000 give or take. Ebay steals and sales helped balance out some resale cops I made but overall not too bad. Next year's gonna be slow though I'm going to Japan trip of a lifetime, big thanks to ta2and0 for some info about that

Nike has done that a few times to me too, but we'll see.....we'll all be 70 year olds rocking heat lol

Damn, and here I am trying to go from 22 pairs of shoes to 12. No lie, that's what I've been trying to do for awhile. Very tough when there are still shoes to enjoy while not wanting to have more than a 4x3 set-up of shoes/shoe boxes.

I envy you...

I’m still lookin for that “sweet spot”, when it comes to number of pairs. I’m thinkin gettin down to 50 may be it, triple digits sure ain’t for me no more

I'm with you, I barely have chances to wear it as it is

When I went up to 63 pairs about 5.5 years ago, I was like "dear God, this is too much" and took a trip that just got me to offload 35+ pairs.

It's funny... when you ask an average person how many shoes they got and what for, they'll say "oh I just have 2 pairs of shoes: my everyday shoes/boots and my gym shoes." You ask a sneakerhead this question, we'll say "oh we have 10 pairs for the rain, 30 pairs for fancy occasions, 90 pairs for beaters, and 1 pair for wedding shoes." Not exactly like that, but conceptually ridiculous-sounding.

On that note though, that's honestly how I'm trying to narrow my pairs down. The few dailys to rotate, a few weekend shoes to rotate, 1 for workout, and 1 or 2 for hiking and inclement weather. Sounds easy, but again... so many good choices out there that it's hard to keep that collection small.
