SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

Since I am on a futuristic kick this week I figured why not talk about some futuristic kicks. As usual, the swoosh brand is the leader of the pack with a Quickstrike release of Air Max called The Running Man pack.

Twenty years ago the movie ‘The Running Man’ described a futuristic dystopia where contestants of a highly rated game show had to run for their lives to escape the grasp of bloodthirsty executioners called “hunters”.

You might do a good job of running with a pair of these funky Air Max 90 on your feet. NIKE collaborated with a few streetwear designers to come up with these crazy colorways. Trust me, these look waaaay better in person.

The colorway of these Air Max 95 appears to have been inspired by the corporate chump mockneck look of JESSE VENTURA. The Air Max 95 is one of NIKE’s supremely iconographic designs. The details I like on these shoes are the the use of textile materials, Kevlar I believe, on the mudguard. The clear gum outsole is a nice touch on a subtle note. These joints here are straight flavor for your instep.

    oh snap! All up in that azz, pause, metaphorically speakin.

    if i recall correct, the 95’s were co-designed with Patta, an Amsterdam sneaker spot. They do some fresh ish… I know Reed space carries their collabo’s and etc.

    those AM1’s are the flyness though. the green reminds me (i wonder if it’s identical to) the green on the Skull Pack 1’s (copped for 15 on the pair… haters can S[t]FU!).

    Those 90s look way more like Donatellos than the dunks that actually bear the name.

    90s are kind of busted…never really got with those. Besides the TMNT thing, I get a Kermit vibe off them. Although maybe now that Kermit is down with Supreme that means they’re cool or something.

    Anyway, agree the 95s are H.Y.P.E.

    oops. ones, nineties, my b.

    i was never into the shoe game for real, but we were in Hong Kong in May and I never saw so many shoe stores with limited edition shits i never knew existed. You know I had to get a few…HK is the shoe collector’s heaven.

  8. Casey says:

    The 95s are cool. Not worth the prices they fetch.

  9. Dan Love says:

    The 95s are killer, not so keen on the 90s. It’s just the ticket price that puts me off…
