Running On Air

just got the re-release of the first airmax in its original colorway.

i wanted to get them back in 2005 when they retroed them but i already bought 2 pairs of kicks that time- infrared air max 90's and neon air max 95's. i was 16, so the only the money i had was the money my parents gave me and i knew my parents wouldnt get me another pair after buying 2 in a month. by default i had to pass.

this time around i got them for $55 compared to the $92 retail thanks for my hook up.

here's an interview with the creator- tinker hatfield, about his inspiration behind the creation of the air max.
