The shoe that started it all (my collection at least) is a pair of OG vintage Air Max 180. Bought on sale in a store in 2002. At that time ignorant of midsole yellowing of even midsole cracking and separating midsoles, I bought them because a) they looked fantastic and b) back in the days these were quasi unaffordable, with a price tag of over 150 euro’s (an that was in 1991 a LOT OF MONEY!)
