[@davidhunternyc1]

Of all the sneakers you reviewed, what sneaker is the most advanced in terms of technology that actually works better than any other sneaker? The other part of the question is, does "technology" even matter in sneaker design or is it all a gimmick?

This was so cool to see, the big bubble really has a much bigger bubble, I really hope you go through the Air Maxes over the years, I kinda grew up with them and it’d be awesome to see how they changed over the years!

[@BMChico]

Been following you since the beginning and so proud to see how far you’ve come. This is the best review channel for shoes on KZbin hand ms down!

[@atzellan]

Weston gotta go in for a quick sniff of the air from the air unit. Ps: you might wanna consider cutting open famous fashion boots (Margiela Tabis, SLP Wyatts) to see how they’re made. It would be a nice fresh (and expensive) wave of content from the channel, and the Dior AW07 “navigate” combat boots might be a decent start; they’re clearly fashion boots and advertised as fashion boots, but they’re still a pair of “combat” boots. Therefore, seeing how they were made and whether they met the standard of a pair of standard combat boots would be nice. Plus, there aren’t much content made about these boots, so your video (if it happens) would attract attention pretty well, imo.

[@Sean-Ax]

some MM GAT's since people are obsessed with those too

[@gonzo6174]

second that. high end fashion brands defintely use high quality leather, but while they're tempting, can't resist the idea of cutting them in half...Weston rules

[@oneup8405]

haha navigates in good condition go for thousands of dollars, maybe start on the lower scale of designer boots that some people can access

[@FriedEgg101]

I pretty much only wear air max 1s or 90s. You've always been able to get them in various colourways, and even design your own colourway. I have some air max 1s in colours that I chose, right down to the inside colour of the bubble. I just like the shape of them. The last few years it's been getting harder to find them though, and they've been getting more expensive. Nike uk seems to love selling them to golfers now. They're a great sneaker for £70, but nobody needs to be paying 150 for them, and they don't need a re-release when they've always been available.

[@ChickenNugSenpai]

I'd love to see some skate shoes cut apart. I have the lizzie vans and thanks to your channel I'm so curious to see what's inside. I'm already looking forward to my next pair but I have no idea which brand to get!

[@mikerizzo7750]

Great video brother! Air max 90’s would be great to see the difference in bubbles! Keep them coming!

[@Adayinthelife2025]

Omg I’ve been waiting so long for you to do these . Best trainer ever made . Along side BWs and 95s

[@bengerendash]

Yes do the series. Super high nostalgia factor for so many folks...

[@Kieffer3000]

Would be really happy if you're going to do the air max series! Watching your vids for a couple of years and I'm curious what's inside the maxes fr and how good of quality they are. Normal max 1's and 90's my favorites, wanna see that and the 95/97's for sure!

[@PinoGietermaai]

Finally the air max! In the Netherlands (and i think in most European countries) these shoes are extremely populair and have been for decades. I hope you will continue, i think the airmax 90 are the most populair.

[@rommac1907]

I'd love to see a complete series about the Air Max, especially the Air 180 and Air Max 93 are my favorite from the bunch. :)

[@mrkiki2023]

I am so so so glad I found your channel! It is so unique, very informative, but you cover so many brands and materials that I could transfer over to my hobby! Thank you!

[@shifty220]

Thanks for featuring the air max 1, it's my go-to sneaker for looks alone, so was intrigued to see this one!!

[@michaellovell6679]

Just wanted to say thank you. A couple of years ago I picked up some Redback UBOK boots based on your video reveiw. They cost A$115.90 / ~US$78 delivered inc tax. Best shoes I've every bought - wear them pretty much everyday, they hardly wear and are super comfortable and IMO look good with jeans.

[@davynguyen2496]

I'm a bit of a sneaker head and I really enjoy these series. Keep it up

[@kendressel1608]

Amazing video definitely the best air max 1 video I’ve seen by far I love how you test all the components and totally dismantle the shoe to actually see how well it’s made I would love to see more content like this

[@realBkay]

Bought a pair of these (big window-1987) as my “jogging only” shoes and wasted my money. I was running a minimum of 30 minutes/day and when I was cooling down (walking) after my first run w/them, was the first time my knees began to hurt. Bought a pair of Reebok cross-trainers and I wish I had bought 10 pair of Reebok’s. The most comfortable tennis shoe/sneaker I have ever worn, to this day.

[@lunargorp]

I’m here for an air max series! Would love to see different bubbles compared. Also would love to see the acg gaiadome Boot with some air

[@Nemioke]

Nike was not the first one to have an air cushioned sole in a running shoe. Finnish brand Karhu - yes, the same company that sold then-small Adidas it's three stripes - did the first running shoes with air cushioned heels. They also made air cushioned basketball shoes later. Karhu's air sole running shoe predates Nike by at least one year - Karhu released it's shoes in 1976 while Nike released their first shoe (as a limited release for Honolulu marathon) in 1978, having started to research the technology in 1977. Karhu was also the first company to use Nylon as a running shoe material. Nowadays Karhu is more of a fashionable, hipster directed brand, but it was for a considerable time on the cutting edge of sports shoe technology. You might want to look into that.

[@patmann9363]

Thanks for the info.

[@tyarnold4088]

You know a little bit about shoes huh? I still like Nike for air shoes though.

[@Nemioke]

@@tyarnold4088 Oh, I do too, I did not post that to discredit Nike in any way. I am quite fond of Nike's shoes and wear them daily in my sports hobbies (outside that it's dress shoes, due to being involved with fashion & bespoke industry as a tailor and a designer). I just think that the Karhu story - with its undeniable firsts - is also something that is often not heard. I played basketball back in the 80's wearing Karhu Harlems (and Air Jordans), partied wearing Adidas and have run & skated through more Nikes than I care to remember. I just think that, as Rose Anvil is doing excellent job sharing sneaker history, he could check into that. After all, Beastie Boys wore them in one point and the brand has had quite an effect.

[@J_SonOfTheRight]

First to do an exposed unit...

[@Nemioke]

@J_SonOfTheRight Purely a visual thing, then. Not functional. Well, American "first", thus...

[@johnmcduggle4032]

I'm very glad that you're trying to do an Air Max Series!!! I'm already well versed in the History of Air, but I'm stoked that you guys are trying to educate others and cutting them in half to dispell some myths!!

[@robingp]

Yeah, better late than never to show that Nike shoes are overhyped and overpriced and have nothing great to them…..

[@Michael_Kiss]

Keep the series going pls🙏🏿 i’m curious about the Air Max 360s

[@FredyMcfly]

Nice video as always, I will personally like to see the vapormax from 2017 as they had basically the complete sole made with bubbles and some of them are completely independent

[@four71]

I literally just bought a pair of AirMax’s on Saturday, based solely on looks and comfort. I knew nothing about them until I came home and did some research. I do hope you continue this series. I got the less expensive SC model BTW. I would interested to see how those compare to the more expensive models.

[@appelscha23]

how much height do they give?

[@Scotter4536]

@@appelscha23 I've got 3 pairs of them. I'd say they lift about 1.5". I'm really curious about the quality of the SC vs the Max 1. There are a lot of people that think the Max 1 is superior quality because of the pricing, but at least the SC has real leather. I do think the Max 1 looks better, but the SC is by far the most comfortable shoe I've ever owned. I think people have hyped the original for so long that they've created this myth that. the original is better than it really is.

[@alanwoodrow5836]

Please do a series.. I've been waiting for you to touch the Air Max's, so excited for this.

[@vijayshah212]

i would love to see a video on a newer "premium" release. The Brown Curry retro seems to have a nubuck upper, and they are "premium". Also another great pair to check would be the Pendleton Collaboration. Or, the newer Patta release. Either way loved watching it. Cannot wait to see the other air max videos.

[@Mattblaze1477]

I've been wearing Air Max since I was a kid (mid 90's). IMO there is no shoe that feels better in the heel area. Just pure comfort and style and I love em. I got 12 pairs now my favorites being my Air Max 90 Infrareds.

[@garrettlison4992]

I'll always love my Air Max shoes. Wearing my Infrared AM IIIs right now!

[@ianturnbow7011]

Keep up the series! I recently picked up my first two pairs of the Air Max 1. They’re both “premium” editions with actual suede and nubuck. I’m pretty sure the leather is synthetic, but it’s at least plastic coated. $180 retail for the premium versions is STEEP. There are sales and buying them lightly used will knock off $30-$50+. The arch support was a happy surprise.

[@sufami4513]

I’d recommend a video on the Air Pegasus 83. It’s a remake of the first Pegasus shoe from 1982/1983, which is a line that is still going (they’re on 40 now). I’m curious if the Pegasus 83 actually has the heel air unit.

[@jesseshort8]

An Air Max series would be awesome!

[@jeffmarquardt8173]

PLEASE keep this series goin! I would specifically love to see the difference between the 2020 AirMax 90 recraft (branded as the Air Max III) vs the standard air max 90.

Nice video as always! Please make a video about asics and onitsuka tiger as well please. I really love to watch these shoes get reviewed from the inside.

[@landonjwic1070]

Hey Rose Anvil! I hope you see this recommendation! I would love to see you cut an ISPA MindBody in half to see what it’s all about. They’re fairly cheap and supposed to mimic nature. I’ve heard someone say it feels like walking on grass so it could be interesting to see what’s inside.

[@themrmarkprior]

Love Air Max 1's. They are still my goto sneaker. I was 13 when the Nike Air Max 90's dropped in 1990 and i wanted some so bad. Begged and saved and got 'em. Then a year later in 91 Nike dropped the Nike AIr Max 180 and my mind was blown!!! I though Air Max 180's were the coolest thing EVER. The few (rich) kids in school that had 180's would put them on in the playground at recess and it would gather a crowd. 180's were like spaceships. It would of got less attention if you turned up to school in a Lamborghini with a supermodel.

[@ivanzamojilny9341]

Love this series, can't wait for the air max 180 to get disappointed. Editing is top notch now

[@thewatcher1985]

for a future air max line video, perhaps compare the Air max 90 recraft with the regular non recraft version. I have both and they feel quite different on feet......

[@saeedwazir5949]

Excellent content as usual. I'd love to see an Air Max 95 or 97 cut up.

Awesome work as always, super impressed with how in-depth you go with these and it's great to see just how low-quality these shoes are

[@RayNLA]

The Air Units are made in a St.Louis Mo. Suburb and sent to Oregon and filled with a special gas not just air. Running shoes aren’t typically made of leather because runners run in the rain and wet leather becomes too heavy

the big bibble which you have was actually 1986, and they released only something like 40,000 units and only about 25k were sold i believe the one we know today with the smaller unit was the 1897 pairs

The original Air Max BW had a hidden forefoot air unit too .... they later got rid of it, I'd be really interested to know if the more recent iterations of the BW have also gone back to their roots and have the front unit.

Deff would be fire if he did the BW.

[@pihermoso11]

The original Jordan 6 had an air unit at the forefoot aside from the visible air unit at the heel, I wonder if the new reissues still have them

From my understanding, the remastered BWs from two year's ago have an air unit in the forefoot.

[@TheRetroManRandySavage]

@@pihermoso11 yes, buddy. All retro 6s have an air unit in the forefoot.

[@watchthesix]

I never knew these had a forefoot Air unit! Thanks for doing this and please keep this series going! When you do the Air Max 90, please do the "Air Max III" editions that released in late 2020! It's different than the normal Air Max 90s currently available, because that one is more true to the original AND it also has a forefoot Air unit. The ones currently available do not.

[@KC-kp4vh]

Air pressure is around 14 to 15 psi at sea level depending on weather. So it is likely this air unit is a little bit higher than that. A quick Google suggests later versions were supposed to be at 25 psi.
