^ The Air Max 2009+ = DP.com Sneaker of the Year
Tune in tonight to Obsessive Sneaker Disorder Radio where the discussion will turn into which sneakers deserve to be listed in the years top 10 releases. I’m riding with the Air Max 2009+. This is one of those great evolutionary shoes that pushes the level so far up it will be several years before Nike can even catch up to itself. The weight of the shoe combined with the incredible strength and look make this shoe instantly a benchmark in the Air Max legacy.
I thought the Air Max 360 platform was as far as the envelope could be pushed but the AM09+ has even more air in the outsole along with a carbonfiber upper that both breathes and secures the foot in place better than any previous Air Max shoe. I also love the wide footbed that doesn’t pinch my foot in any area. Because these shoes are on par with Nike’s more elite designs the pricepoint is similar to a Jordan brand shoe. I would take the Air Max 2009+ over any Jordan shoe that dropped this year (considering the Carmine retro VI was last year).
If I can get anything for holidays from one of my friends at Nike I would like to have the Air Max 2009+ pictured below along with the sweater fleece hoodie. The Nike hoodies have gone high-end with the Loopwheeler cotton construction and I wouldn’t know what to do with a $250 hoodie (oh, don’t get it twisted, I would figure some shit out), but I just want a simple heather grey sweater jacket to complement these Air Max so if someone at the Swoosh fux with DP.com please send them my way.
Thanx internets. Thanx Nike.

co-sig best Nike release of the past 2 years and well worth getting up at 4 am to haul ass to Niketown Chicago to coppage
agree that the shoe above is one of the illest Nike releases but on the strenth, some of the bespoke jawns have been out of this universe
i’m thinking of course about the masta mike bespoke air1 – pure shwag:

BeSpokes are crazy. I don’t really fux with Air Forces but I saw a BeSpoke that just rocked my world.
BeSpokes and IDs are ill, but I love the General Releases just as much because my whole presentation is from head to toe, not just toe.
That shoe is beautiful like walking in my bedroom and finding Halle Berry and Eva Mendez laying in my bed with nothing on…..except for that shoe, ready to grant my every carnal desire (they’d have to have on that shoe for the traction). Halle w/the blue swoosh; Eva with the gold…or vice versa; that’s win-win.
i checked up on this loopwheel joint to see why it cost that much. well a meter of fabric per hour makes mass production a pain in the ass. which means you going be paying out the ass to get one.
Ichigo: These are all vintage sweatshirts, right? How old are they?
Satoshi: They are all made in USA during late 40’s – mid 60’s. They still look great, don’t they?
Ichigo: That’s cool. Are they still wearable?
Satoshi: You bet. Just because they were knitted by a machine called “Loopwheel”. But they can knit only a meter of fabric per hour. I must say it’s awfully inefficient in the light of today’s technology.
yo i think my presentation is shtrictly toe shtatus
