Air Force 1 History

Two VERY interesting vids on the history and background of Air Force 1s.

Came across them on NT.

Definitely worth checking out.



Parra AM1

"Nike Air Max Parra 1 Raffle Release Date 3/17/2010"
If you don’t know, now you know. Your chance to get these for retail might be over if your in NYC. This is what the crowd was looking like outside 21 Mercer at 1:21 PM Eastern Standard time.

Straight from DefyNewYork.wordpress.com.
That was a week ago today, when Mercer dropped the highly anticipated "Parras" without warning, sending many of New York and New Jersey's sneakerheads into a frenzy as word got out that they were being released in the middle of a weekday.

Word on the street is the spot ended up selling (well, raffling) around 48 pairs to the public after receiving over 100 but there is no concrete info regarding that estimation.

Thanks to an assist from a good friend, I was able to end up with a pair for myself which you see here.
The release was wild, and definitely mishandled but luckily for me I was in the right place at the right time and walked away satisfied.

I've been left in the dark on more exclusive releases than I care to remember, so maybe this was karma workin its magic.

Who knows?

Stay up and God Bless.

Foamposite History

Vid is a little dated but I came across this on NT and had to post it up.

Probably damn near all of yall can appreciate this.

The Foamoposite is easily my favorite shoe of all time (prefer the Pros, but Ones get love too).

Enjoy.

Unbelievable.

Crazy. Stupid. Amazing. Wow.

Air Max Family

How yall doin? Its been a while...

I knew for the last few weeks though that once my last pair of AM1 IDs came in that I wanted to gather all my air maxes and snap some pics.
I took the one that came out the best and well, what you'll see below is my air max collection.

On another note,

I came across these 95s on the JDsports site a couple weeks back, for those of you who dont know JD is a company/site/store based in the UK. They're pretty much a clothing/sneaker store but they regularly get exclusive Nike colorways that you cant find ANYWHERE else. So even though that US dollar to GBP conversion rate is a bitch, soon as I saw these I knew I had to have em.

I say it all the time, I go crazy for Knicks/Mets colorways (that are done right).
So after a couple weeks, a major hit on my bank account, and some BS customs fees I got my hands on these...

Final Air Max topic for today -

Retro Neon 95's are droppin tomorrow - 2/27. Originally slated for March, they got pushed up a little earlier. Should be at local shops and footlockers, as well as Eastbay. Nike.com should have em too. Regardless of whether or not the shades of grey/neon have changed over the years, these are a true classic you can't go wrong in purchasing.

(The windrunner is a must too, if you can get your hands on it)
