It’s always tickled me that in Liverpool and surrounding areas, these are universally known as “One-Tens”, because they were £110 when they were originally released.

really proud of the Rose Anvil team. The video format is just perfect -- from shoe info to jokes and memes and even to ads. So many tiny details. Thank you!

The ones from the 90s felt way different than these current ones do. The air units were larger and generally the shoe was quite a bit more flexible for whatever reason. They also gave you arch inserts. The new ones are too rigid up front and for whatever reason, slightly narrower. The worst aspect of the 95s is that shank where if you step on a curb with metal binding wrong and connect with it shank first, you are going skating-especially in the wet.

The first retro's of these had the PSI % marked on the bottom of the shoes. New pairs (like the one you cut) have much smaller bags than even the 2010 retro's

Huge fan of the air max line, especially the 1, 90, 95, 97, and plus. It's great that you're giving an educated review of the shoes compared to other shoe review channels cause most of them have never burnished or skived a day in their lives! Your opinions and conclusions are worth more to viewers and potential buyers than the rest of these guys

In the Netherlands everything with air that came out was instantly liked. They were part of the uniform of the 'gabber' rave culture in combination with Cafello or Australian brightly coloured tracksuits and black bomber jackets.

I LOVE how this channel is getting more and more famous, and constantly improving. We're learning A LOT! Please don't stop making videos

[adamlipsky]

What you didn't mention is that the original ones used gas that was environmentally dangerous but actually improved the performance but they had to do away with it. I vaguely remember watching a vid with a scientist explaining this and he managed to get the original pair and confirmed the presence of that chemical.

I wore mine popped for a few years lol
Eventually water got sucked into the air pockets and the shoes wheezed every step I took 😂

Absolute iconic European kicks . Loving it . I have owned and worn a pair of 95s and bws since 1994 for bws and 1997 for 95s . My feet are actually shaped to fit inside . Like binding I guess . What you don’t see in modern 95s is the extra arch support that was in the ogs . Literally the only runner for high intensity training . Ie boxing, sprinting or kicking a ball . Plus the wedge shaped design pushes your weight forward onto the balls of your feet . Honestly you need to try these for skipping, boxing and explosive sports .
Side note . Wearing these actually cured my shin splints . Between straightening my arch and pushing the weight onto the front of my feet . I would recommend these for anyone who needs a high performance workout runner

Great analysis and video as always!

The AirMax 95, is part of a long set of shoes from Nike with horrible quality foam materials with terrible long term durability (especially compared to other brands including Adidas). There are hundreds of stories in articles and sneaker forums about Nike shoes, including the AirMax 95 degrading after a couple of years into a mushy mess and the shoes falling apart, even without ever being used. Quoting from Wired Magazine's excellent article "The Sneakerheads Racing to Save Their Kicks From Decay" it's common for Nike shoes made with this type of foam to crumble away to nothing as they sit tucked in boxes or hidden in closets. The materials used to make them degrade over time, causing the shoes to fall apart, rendering them worthless.

Nike clearly benefits from millions in sales from sneaker collectors and the AirMax 95 is one of the most popular for that market for them. There are kids that save up their hard earned cash to buy and collect Nike shoes, only to see them disintegrate from nothing but sitting in a cool, quiet closet. If they won't correct the issue, Nike should put a disclosure about this aspect of their materials, and "use by" date in their sneaker boxes.

Loved my 95’s! Bought both the B&W and Neon Green fade pairs when they released and then again when they first re-released. Made a few custom pairs thru NikeID too. We’re easily some of the longest lasting/resilient and comfortable Max’s I’ve owned, only being outlasted by 97’s. One downside is the tendency for the laces to untie without feeling it happen and then they’d inevitably get dragged thru the muck and dirt before ya realised!

i'm 47 year old man that really isn't into the sneaker thing like i was 20 years ago but love your channel and just now getting into it. i have older shoes from decades ago and this channel has me curious about them. 😂😂😂 keep up the amazing work.

I wanted these shoes for so long. They make me nostalgic for the mid 90s when I saw everyone wearing them in the classic black grey and neon green. But when I finally bought them the plastic spine on the bottom would click against the ground or linoleum flooring when I walked with them. I ended up having to sand it down with sandpaper so I wouldn't hear and feel the plastic clicking against the ground.

Binned my originals back in the day. Caused my feet too much pain with the neutral gait.

Didn’t need to sell them. Didn’t know they were so sought after. Just thought they were a pretty shoe without substance. correction insoles weren’t widely available those days.

[jacobshields]

King shoe, I’ve been commenting to do this for awhile! Some of them like the 2015 seem more cushiony than the newer ones which seem stiff. Hard to really compare the modern to the og cos they change so much quality wise. They are not doing much for the 95 legacy these days with ugly colours and fabrics. My favourite, I prefer it than newer shoes because it’s so sturdy on foot and the design is crazy.

[virtualyme]

I attribute the spike in 2018 to Roger Federer's "new" Nike Court Vapor 10 performance tennis model. Offered in two new Air Max 95 'greedy' and 'neon' shoe collaborations.

Nike has actually been using thin felt panels with no stitching lately. It's not the worst thing maybe. My favorite's the free rn 5.0 been wearing mine for 2 years. Although they can soak up water in these sections and and take a bit longer to dry out. But of course it's a shoe that's made for heel first running so the sole's a wedgelike shape, not great for your knees. I've even used them for running on rocks and getting up on a train. I have a little ptsd when I see 'punk boots' but I find cutting everything in half very calming. Thanks again!

The squeeky sole sound made my dog come look for his toy with a hopeful and happy face.
