Will Nike ever reach its 90s level of glory again?

Breh you have to look at it from the persepctive of the bench mark of today;

Muiltiple air max shoes.

And for them to do a USA Olympic collection (Pack) - Ahead of their time.

I personally thought that out of their huge catalouge for that year these were commercially their stand out shoes.

I'd love to see some AM 96 retros in different colorways.

Naw

I hope The hypebeast era fade out tho

Also the vapor max are fukk in horrible

Love the 270s tho

Agreed about Vapormax, I'm not a fan either. The 2090s are my favorite of the new Air Maxes

And they've been retroing the Air Max Plus 3s which are hard, but they're 30 more dollars than the regular Pluses for some reason.

Someone mentioned that the designs take inspiration from previous ones, which is true

But what made some of the 90s designs really pop was starting from scratch

Allegedly the 95 was inspired by the human body for instance, and it looke nothing like the Air Max 94s. The official Air Max year models of late just look the same more or less, just with the swoosh in a different place
the 97's were inspired by the bullet train designs in hong kong

The 90’s was the peak for everything!

Kicks
Music (all-modern genres)
Fashion
Movies
TV (sitcoms/cartoons/talk shows/ game shows)
Social gatherings (pre smartphones)

the 90s was not the peak for fashion at all. Every single decade was more fashionable than the 90s and 00s for that matter

I'm sure the tech has gotten better, but as far as appearance I much prefer the 90s silhouettes. I don't think any of their recent running shoes look as nice as the AM95.



The Jordan 23 maybe?



The Kyrie and PG aren't bad but I'm not a fan of the Vapormax at all
The Off-White VaporMax are fire
