Air Max 90 Infrared (1989)

This auction needs some special attention: a deadstock pair of vintage Nike Air Max Infrared ’90. (look at what the official colorway of these was: White/Black/Cool Grey/Red)


Winning bid: $490.
The price is defintely not over the top. Besides,  it’s a piece of history you have bought. Almost deadstock, with original box, and leaflet. The only thing that is missing is the Nike Air hangtag……



this is a museum piece and should be displayed in a museum, and not in the hands of a kid with rich parents asking the seller if this shoe is still wearable…


The seller’s answer to Nic’s question also worries me:

Hi Nic, I can tell they are still good to wear. Tried them on inside the house just to make sure. Still solid”

Probably some readers won’t agree with me, but a pair like these isn’t meant to be worn, you know it will crack like a cookie, although the seller thinks it’s not gonna happen: It’s gonna happen, for sure!
