Continuing with Classics Revisited is a the tail-end of Nike 97 Air Max a back-t0-back of Nike Air Max 1 No-Liners; "No-Liner" signifies the unpadded upper, giving the ankle collar area a slimmed down appeal much like on the contemporary Deconstruct' models of the Air Force 1 and Dunk High ( NL' has been done with the Dunk High before as well). Although the amount of Air Max 1 NL releases were rather small, the leather-built NL construction provided the sporty Air Max 1 with more of a lifestyle appeal, even when transformed into one of the most iconic basketball shoes of all-time the Air Jordan III.
In New York City, the Air Max 1 Kid Robot' was the perfect mix of the playful Kid Robot charisma with the foreign supercar swag of the 1986 Maserati Quattroporte III Royale, and with the inspiration set in stone, Paul and Chad arrived at the flawless colorway of Black, Metallic Gold, and Hot Pink, with the Kid Robot mascot watching guard on the heel.The Kid Robot Air Max 1 came boxed in a limited edition slide-out package accompanied by a Nike Presto Kid Robot figurine and one of five different blind sockliners packaged in Kid Robot's signature foil bag. The sockliners were all distinct from one another, designed individually by five different artists (Gary Baseman, Dalek, David Horvath, Huck Gee, and Frank Kozik).
In addition to the released version, an unreleased sample with metallic gold thread embroidery on the Kid Robot figurine on the Nike Huarache heel was produced, as well as a Hyperstrike Friends & Family' version with a Hot Pink upper. This 2005 classic was Kid Robot's sole partnership with Nike and continues to be one of the most sought after grails among Air Max fanatics worldwide, and with such a limited number in circulation the hunt will likely see no immediate end. Click below for the full Classics Revisited breakdown of the Kid Robot x Nike Air Max 1 below and let us know where this ranks among the greatest sneaker collaborations in history!
Nike has not been shy with retro'-ing its classic silhouettes so by now, anyone who calls himself a sneakerhead should be well versed in the entire Air Max catalog. Thinking back on Nike Kobe all the colorways of the Air Max 1, 90, 95, and 97 that have released and all the other in-betweeners that have dropped by here and there, such a vast quantity of shoes deserves its own classification system because it's becoming unnervingly easy to overlook some classics that, unfortunately, will never release ever again. Case in point: the Air Max 120. It's hard to describe a shoe that looks like a hybrid between a spider, a gazelle, and one of James Cameron's aliens with a forefoot midsole design that looks as if the concrete you're relentlessly pounding is trying to absorb itself into the shoe, much like Venom's symbiote skin looking for a host.
Not much later, the Black/White pair hit stores as well. Perhaps the best part of the release was the special in-store event set up by Footpatrol; for those who were lucky enough to get the special edition tea mug from the Footpatrol x Air Stab release, an Air Max 90 cake was served up. You heard right an actual edible pastry shaped and colored after the Baroque Brown version. The Air Max 90, like the Air Max 1, is a sneaker that is popular regardless of the collaborative roots or general release' nature, so there's a mass library of other hot gems that deserve attention, but the five pairs featured this week are ones you should definitely have slotted in your internal sneaker archives.
The DQM x Air Max 90 is indeed a playful take on the store's lighthearted theme-park' nature, but the colorway is strictly considered to be one of the greatest of all-time Nike Flyknit and has served as the inspiration for other Air Max releases like the Air Max 95/360 of the One Time Only Pack and the Air Max 90 Current Huarache. In addition, like the three previous Air Max 90s featured prior to tonight, the Bacon 90s are considered to be one of the most memorable sneaker collaborations of all-time and is quite often near the top of best-of' lists for those who reveled in collaboration-driven sneakerhead era, and continues to be a coveted item for sneaker collectors today and hence![[Image: nike%2097%20air%20max-032bjg.jpg]](https://www.suzukinozomu.com/images/large/nike%2097%20air%20max-032bjg.jpg)
