The Official Nike Air Max 90 Thread

What a let down if thats the case, not even close to the ogs

I wouldnt say not even close. All they really need is a slightly slimmer toe. Its much better than what was going on before. In proper og materials it might look pretty damn good. Not sure about the swoosh though at all. Why would they expose it at the top like that all of a sudden? I cant tell if i like it more that way or less since it isnt og...

O

Im optimistic.

Gonna be good.

Did some research and these are the initial differences/improvements that I was able to find.

-OG stitching over the swoosh on the side panel

-OG style “stitch delete” at forefoot bend

-Overall sleeker, more streamlined mudguard going toward the toe box.

That stitch over the swoosh on the side is going to go a long way. Gives the shoe an extra dynamic that retros have never had. Never noticed that detail was missing from retros.

Pics of OGs for reference.

Nice, very nice, ican notice already
-the swoosh is different, closer to the OGs
-the stitch on the side, like the OGs also
-the smaller toebox that will allow to have this shape on feet

looking foward to see the spruce colorway with the new shape if they ever produce them

Not close because you're comparing to a non OG model.

Remember trying to buy these from a vintage AM fb group as i thought they were size 10...unfortunately they were size 11 and the guy wouldn't sell anyways

All Nike has to do is release all the older colorways on this page in about the same shape and I’d be a happy camper.

I don’t feel like that’s asking too much.

 

[donjuan513]

The guy that spearheaded the remastered 90s really went all out making these a “stitch for stitch” retro. The final sample I saw was pretty spot on. Holding them for me was like finding a pair of wearable OGs in the stockroom.

Pretty sure thats exactly what theyre doing.

I never cared for the stitch line.

But’ll considering I probably have and have had more 90s than any other shoe, ill take what they offer gladly.

Well this is very encouraging.

 

[modzzilla]

Bored...something a little different.

this would be a dream come true

i never knew that the insole and the lining behind the tongue from the coral rose was orange, i always thought it was pink just like the swoosh

 

[rob1ne]

The angle of the mudguard must be a lot more "agressive" so it gets that og aerodynamic shape..we'll see
But im not counting on any major improvement

 

[donjuan513]

any pics mate?

Naw no pics. Can’t go to heaven and take pics. I remember seeing them on the wall and I’m like “Oh y’all bringing those back” thinking they had an OG on the shelf for reference purposes, then my guy goes “That’s the retooled retro dropping next year”. Mouth dropped after that.

 

[carlcarlsson]

Really really looking forward getting my hands on a new pair of infrareds. Hope they drop earlier than december 2020.

 

[doxen5703]

I don’t care when they drop, this will probably be my first time ever doubling up on shoes.

 

[bundy888]

In for Laser Blues and Spruces. Already have 2015 Infrareds and probably won't double up.
