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?

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.

[@DaringDomino3s]

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!

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.

[@mikerizzo7750]

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

[@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. :)

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

[@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.

[@jcorrance]

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.

[@blaowskiton]

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

[@TheRetroManRandySavage]

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.

[@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!

[@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'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!

[@shifty220]

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

[@StarTrewper]

@RoseAnvil. I can confirm that the bubble does crack in the cold. Your freezer is nowhere near cold enough, it's maybe -3 -4 F. I wore mine in -37c here in Winnipeg, Manitoba and they shattered.

[@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

Can’t wait review of the Air Max 95,97 and 98 model comparisons~

[@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.

[@meangene1980]

I owned a few pairs of white Air Max 90s mid and loved them, only had to throw them out once the soles wore out.

[@StevOPelO]

Busted out with lol with the cold Jack Nicholson in the bubble.... Perfect. Almost missed it! 12:00

[@Tang-qi6zw]

It would be interesting to see the nike tailwind 79 cut in half (since that was the first nike air shoe ever). Also something like the onitsuka tiger mexico '66, since it was a big running shoe in its day, and Blue Ribbon Sports (later nike) started by selling those then-cheap japanese shoes in america. But that's a very simple shoe like the Nike Cortez.

[@bartjeuhh790]

Unless it's winter, I wear Air Max 1's every single day. I have multiple LE's with premium leather uppers that are more than a decade old. These OG's I have too but the quality is indeed severely lower, yet the comfiness is still A++

[@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

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.

[@fatherprime1397]

[@DanielSzilagyi]

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

[@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.

[@appelscha23]

how much height do they give?

[@UnknownUser-rb9pd]

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.

Never owned the originals. I recently got the OG big bubble. I love the shoe. My first AM1 and second ever AM shoe It’s so comfortable, looks good, and it’s hard to get it dirty. Only complaint is that it’s hard to find a matching outfit/look that goes with the shoe. I use the shoe for trail walking and it has yet to get scuffed, despite the terrain being composed of small pebbles, dirt, mud, etc.

You cannot wear them if the air is popped. Thery will cave in rather quickly if you keep walking on them. And with the old ones the air bubble will fully rip in the length too walking on them.

I had an off-brand version of these, from ShopKo, in the 90's. I was curious what was inside. They deflated after about 2 years of regular wear.

[@DSiri0039]

I weigh 100kgs and these are one of the most comfortable all day shoes for me. Boost and zoom are too soft/unstable for me causing foot fatigue after several hours of wear plus they bottom out really quick. These big bubbles are they way if you are looking for more stable feel with some cushioning
