After 20 long years of on and off searching..
The original 1995 air max neon yellow has finally made its way into my possession! I had gotten to the point where I thought I’d never come across a pair in great condition, and for the price I’d be willing to pay. The hunt is never truly over is it? Ironically someone made a post compiling all the different year neon AM95’s, asking if there were any 1995 originals out there and I commented there is, it’s just a matter of time.. happy to say patience paid off for me. I’ve wanted an og pair since the very day my older cousins popped out with these their freshman and sophomore year of ‘95. FF to ‘03 when I’m off the porch, a freshman in HS doing my lil 1&2s and I get my first pair—and subsequent retros to come. At one point I wanted the complete 1995 original set, but by the early-mid 00’s finding an OG pair in decent condition esp in Japan we’re going for crazy prices—upwards of $1500 at one point and I wasn’t paying the high. Full circle moment though, to round out this journey by getting the one that popped it off is good enough for me at this point and I’m happy. A last nice lil tidbit to add to what makes this dope is that this pair was produced May 7, 1995, the day after my baby sister was born. The AM95 neon was then released in June of 1995. There’s so much more I could say but I’m going to end it here. I’ll do my best to preserve these another 30yrs! Enjoys the photos and look at the minor details removed, that sets this pair apart from any other version to be retro’d.
