Air Max Anniversary

Air Max Day 2020

It’s finally the sneakerhead holiday, Air Max Day. Taking place on March 26th every year, this year Nike had a lot planned for the holiday.

The holiday started on March 26th, 1987 with the release of the first Air Max, Air Max 1.

The most important news is the announcement of a new model of Air Max, the 2090, in 3 colorways.

Nike also released a pack of the Air Max 90 and Air Max 2020 in called “Duck Camo Pack”.

Nike also released a Women’s pack of Air Max 90’s called the “Metallic Pack”.

GOAT is also running a contest to help you win a pair. Instead of the normal retail price, $150, you can get a pair for $3.26. To win the contest you have to scour the website and look for a secret link hyperlinked as an image of an Air Max 2090. The contest brought too much traffic to the site and the contest has been moved to Instagram on their account, goat.

Go out and get you a pair of Air Maxes, you won’t regret it. As always, this is Robbie telling you to keep your laces tight!

Shoe Review: Air Max 1 “Aqua”

I’ve been waiting to do this review all semester and after wearing them one day this week, I’ve decided today was the day.

The Nike Air Max 1, originally released in 1987, have been a constant fan favorite for the last 33 years. With multiple different designs coming out every year, it doesn’t look like it’s going to stop soon.

The pair I’m reviewing, the Aquas, were originally released in 1988. They were released again in 2018 and I grabbed a pair.

On first glance, it’s a very pretty shoe. A very subtle white and light grey is on top with a contrasting aqua blue in the middle. The top lace hole, the Nike logo, and the inside of the shoe are also accented in grape for a nice touch of color.

The shoe consists almost entirely of suede with a mesh design over the toes. Even though the shoe is suede and white, it still looks great after two years of wear and tear. I’ve worn mine multiple times a week since buying and the white still stands out.

These shoes are the only shoes I have right now that truly fit to size. I’m a size 9 and it’s like they were made for my feet. They fit snugly on my feet as well but never rubbing against them so much it starts to irritate me. For other wearers, you may find a little extra room in the toe box but the shoe fits so well everywhere else, you don’t even notice.

They retailed for $140 and the average resale price on GOAT and StockX right now is $150 dollars. In my opinion, it’s a great deal as most shoes don’t ever stay anywhere close to retail price.

The shoe is a great addition to my closet and a comfortable pair of shoes I can wear anywhere. I definitely plan on buying another if these ever fall apart.

Go out and get you a pair of Air Maxes, you won’t regret it. As always, this is Robbie telling you to keep your laces tight!
