It would be nice to find some Air Max 90s that aren't in a hideous colour way and under hundreds of dollars. I'm going to safely assume all the ones I see on sale for $50-$90 are fakes. Friggin' Nike.

Awesome, I appreciate that link Kosy. Reasonable price and not the weird Andre Agassi-ish colours I've seen every time I come near a shoe store.

I rock Circa AL805s. Black and Red with phantom icons.

I'd really like to find a pair of Nike Shox :45s though. YOu know, the one's Iggy and Naslund were wearing a few years back?

Any colors you'd prefer?

Make sure you get a pair with a Mesh toebox.

These are a pretty solid substitute for the Air Max 90. I would have to say that even being the shoe head and Nike Dunk whore that I am, I actually like to do things a little different sometimes. When I bought My Fox's from DK, it was like a month ago. I got the Kelly Green/Wht and the Black/Rd for like $97 shipped to Alaska. Pretty solid deal in my opinion.

I like the grey/white/red versions the most. What's up with the mesh toebox? I've seen a lot of all-leather ones, is that a sure sign of fake or something?

Fastbrother-

Appreciate the link, thanks.

Mack-

No problem. I would also keep an eye out on ebay, these high-positive and high total feedback sellers usually have great prices, decent shipping and a good authentic selection of a few different Nikes including the AM90:

Shoe Depot

I have ordered from each of them at least two times, and have been satisfied 100%.

Fake? Nah. Actually Nike uses leather on the 90's alot more than mesh, nowadays.

As far as whats wrong, they use probably the worst quality leather I've ever seen on the new(er) AM90's. Wear them 1 or 2 times and they'll look horrific. Alot of them will even rip right out of the stitching, leaving it flapping in the wind. Not pretty.

Mesh on the other hand is more durable, allows plenty of breathability, IMO just looks better.

Does anyone know what shoe this is and where to get it? I tried looking on nike's website, but I couldn't find it.

budro727,

It is the Nike Free Dynamic Trainer. If you are looking for the "Supreme" or "Canada" colors with the NBH branding, they are only available in Canada. Nike Canada also released the 7.0 Free Trainer with the Hockey Canada logo (which in my personal opinion is a better shoe than the FDT).

Alright thanks iceman. I'm guessing the second shoe you're talking about is a "Canada exclusive" too?

Yes. I don't know if they ship outside of Canada but you can try SportChek (www.sportchek.ca) and if you go to niketraining.ca, they have the Canadian shoes and apparel on the site (but I don't know if you can purchase from there).

Holy crap, I appreciate all the links. Now I don't see me coming out of this with less than two pairs of shoes at least.

I'm starting to agree with THockey on the pros of mesh. I like these colours and I think this guy gets large sizes, but for $40 BIN is this a scam pair or what?

Forgot the seller's name but his feedback did have one guy saying he sold some fake Kobes or something like that, but that's the only chink in the armor. Those are some of the colours I'd want but that leather does look off compared to the mesh ones.

Those are fake.

The swoosh is way off, and shouldnt overlap the mudguard. The shape of the airbubble surround is also the wrong shape.
