This coming Saturday October 18th, 2008, Nike Sportswear will be releasing two Air Max 90 sneakers designed by artist KAWS. One of them is the above Air Max 90 Current which received technical updates by KAWS and Nike Sportswear Footwear Design Director Jesse Leyva. This black colorway features innovative 4-way stretch textiles and takes inspirations from Nike ACG. Unfortunately for most, this along with the White Volt OriginalFake Air Max 90 will release exclusively at Nike Sportswear at 21 Mercer and Nike Sportswear at The Montalbán.

anyone know what time on the 18th these drop and what time I should line up to get a pair?

edit: the store opens at 11.. any info on an expected line up time would help.

 

I got excited for a second, then I saw the photos, man, ugly, what a let down.

 

they look like fucking sketchers...

forget about Nike, its all about the shell top Adidas.

 

How average is this? A big fucking ZING to everyone who hated on the Marc Jacobs collab - these make that look like a genius move. What's next - KAWS X Pepsi cans?

 

I like em. hopefully not too high of a pricetag.

 

That was done years ago. Seriously.

 

Love the AM90s.
Just don't need a Kaws x Nike AM90s.

 

Agreed big fat

 

not really up to much.

 

I hate to say this. But it seems to me, as of late, Kaws has been a one trick pony, releasing the same look over and over again. I'd like to see him do something that really breaks his mold.

 

+20

 

Real talk.

 

I like them, but have no interest in the hunt for them

 

I would be out there the night before at least..I have seen some crazy sneaker lines at undefeated before and they started lining up the afternoon before the day and with any kaws release people will know it's worth it to their wallets to wait

 

I like these better than the AF1s he did.

 

no way. those Forces are on display at Premium Laces in NY- much better than these. No doubt.

 

i love AM90's and these are pretty dope but like others have said, i'm not interested in the hunt/inflated prices.

 

Not Vegan.
Do Not Want.

 

The sets are popping up on ebay for $1600! FUCK THAT!

I don't like these anyway, I wish they would have produced the AF1s. What was the retail on these?

 

That's about $133 per 'X'.

 

I'm seriously considering getting a pair of these bad boys to wear to the gym.

...

 

i liked the AF1s better.

that would be cool, i could display them next to my bapepsi cans.
