I remember being in Portugal watching your review on the lowcate when it first dropped. 2 years later I’m buying my tickets to go back to Portugal to visit family and still considering the lowcates lol 😂
Silver bullets are iconic but TN's in the early 2000's were the absolute nuts the colourways and the way they looked I definitely think TN over 97 IMO. nice video.
97's worldwide aren't as highly rated as Tn's. They went missing for years as well while Tn's stayed in FootLocker. The main condition for what constitutes a grail, is rarity/availability (based on where the term came from), but the term is rinsed out to just mean pairs you like a lot.
I feel that this list although i would probably say all air max are great is a bit long the 97,180,air max 1,96 scream green and the og tn are the true s teir models,i know i know shock horror ive omitted the 95 but for me the 95 has became what the bw was here in the 1990s they are made to cheaply and are too common,maybe once the recraft happens ill change my mind. The air max90 is great but only in og form i.e infrared,kaser blue etc
For me comfort is very important, almost as much as looks. Not that air max retro’s are that comfortable, but for me the 90s are at the top. 97s and Tns are way too narrow for me.
When a sneaker or any inanimate object transcends culture and time, I think you would know it's going or has arrived to level grail. I'd rate it AM90, AM1, AM95 and AM97.
I've watched the whole episode, and I loved it just like their Jordans ranking. But one thing they failed to mention is that their ranking is very North American centric. They said the TN is the highest shoe on the A tier. But if you live in europe (I live in France) you'll see way more TN's than any other air maxes. AM1 would be close second and 95s would be third. But yeah, again their whole list make sens if you live in the US, but should not be interpreted as a Worlwide list.
Here in Brazil is not even a discussion, we love the TNs over any other Air Max. The only other Nike sneakers that can go over TNs in Brazil are probably the Nike Shox R4 and Nike Shox TL. But talking about Air Max my top 5 would go: 1. Air Max 95s 2. Air Max Plus 3. Air Max 1 4. Air Max 90 5. Air Max 98 Honorable mention to the DNs that im in love with. Im not a big fan of the 97s
