Chris by far does the best reviews. Well spoken very informative with history of whatever shoe he reviews. He gets to point right away. Hes talking throughout the video. Not like the other people on youtube. That fill the videos with pointless loud music cut aways. Keep it up. Chris
Facts… and the one thing about Chris he unbias. He going to review the shoe no matter the brand… and his review will be genuine not hype based all. Been a fan since 2011
Just wanted to say bro you’re a true sneaker head love all types of shoes and different brands and super knowledge we can see how much passion you have
Love Chris’ reviews after all this time, has knowledge of every sneaker, and if he doesn’t, he digs into it for us and is as accurate as ever, love the reviews guys!
The way Chris was praising the team that worked on this shoe as well as the person responsible for writing up the 3 paragraph description of its history was very nice. It even made me feel good to hear those words!
I'm still on the fence about getting these. Good to know that they're comfortable though. That's kind of swaying me towards going for it. 😅 OAN, I need to know where I can get that X-men sweatshirt! 🔥
Watching Chris review shoes feels like i’m taking an Honors class for sneakers. Been watching sneaker RUclipsrs since 2011 (Shout out Eddie Win and YoAnty), but when I need a refresh or want to learn a new fact I always come back here.
I love AM1s. Was lucky enough to get the Safari's, Atmos Tiffany colorway and Pattas but the midsole and airbags just gave out. Every now and then I have to spend a bomb to sole swap them... Now I'll just get a pair every couple of years if I see something I like. Might just get this but not sure if I'll wear them often.
Love your reviews. Was looking forward to this one. I also have been hearing all this new (to me) information about the cold and the change mid year. Very interesting. Love seeing the compression in the heal here. Like you can see the give I wonder how it will last.
I've been waiting for you to drop this review, I was excited to hear your thoughts and opinions on this, and it didn't disappoint. Chris always delivers the best sneaker content, love the channel!
My first pair of Nikes where the Nike Air Max BW in the Marina colourway. I saw that they came back last year on the app but I missed out on a pair. Do you know if they intend on bringing them out again?
I’ve never owned a pair of any Nike Air Max’s and today (On Air Max day) I copped this Big Bubble pair on SNKRS for retail, as my very first! And an ‘86 OG classic. So excited!
What I like about your reviews is they are very technical and specific. That sets you apart from other reviewers. You and your wife are very cute together too!
These are dope! I copped the AM1 Anniversary royals back in 2017. Only wore them twice. I’m scared to wear them because of the materials. One small drop of anything on the toe box and you will catch hell trying to clean them. Nice comfortable shoe though.
Great review, it’s funny but I wait to see your review before I decide on if I’m going for a shoe that I’m on the fence about! Thanks for what you do much love !
I hope this is a one off, I really think it’s niche and really cool that they brought this back and told their story right. I was watching the heating up segment on SNKRS and the dude from the archive team did an amazing job. These are dope 🔥
Great vid 💯and history 💯definitely a classic I keep in rotation in this colorway. I’ve returned to Nike in the past for defects but will they cover crumbled mid soles?
I'm pleasantly surprised they actually made the midsole material soft again. The midsole material was also softer in the early air max releases. (up till about 91-92) The same soft midsole material that was used in the air stab and air structure, windrunner, air max light, air max 90, and big window, The 180 and the Huarache midsoles were already a little harder.. The softer midsole crumbled quicker. The 86 am1 also looks better I think because the laceholes were separated a bit further from each other horizontally like many other high end 80's nike runners. Kinda like the sides of the shoes were lower.
Just to point out, there was the Royal Blue colourway in this big bubble/prototype shape back in 1986. It was the OG women’s release with images you can find on Google! Either way, great video!
Great Review Chris! This is my shoe of the year. Decided to grab before they came out for a little extra💸. And depending on how much I like themI may just end up doubling up on these bad boys.
They finally fulfilled Chris’s wishes of going back to the bigger air bubbles which are closer to the OG’s!! Hopefully they start doing these with the 80s/90s Nike basketball models next!
@weartesters brooo I ❤ much your reviews how u break down each meaning of the shoes thank u so much . BUT DAMMM the sweatshirt 🤤🤤🤤 broooo Wolverine & Gambling " I believe I hope ain't wrong " special that yellow color , I wld wear those with those Nike Air max 1 ❤✌🏾💪🏾
When I was in middle school (early 90s) you could take ANY Nike to the original Nike town on 6th and salmon and get in store credit if the air sole “popped” They stopped doing it around 98 and people abused the system of course but come to find out Nike was using all those shoes to build new basketball courts around the Portland area so it is was a win/win for everybody.
Hey WearTesters! Awesome video and review, can you please tell me where you get your cool looking comic book shirts that you wear all the time in your videos!?
They do fit narrow. However I was able to fit a 9 even though it was too snug, but staying true to size shouldn't be a problem for narrow footers as I'm a 9.5 also.
I bought these and the GOLF pair and I must say...the GOLF pair needs a comparison video because it's the winner. The midsole is a gloss white, the air bag has a blue tint and overall it's slightly slimmer height. The traction is a plus to me and the biggest win is the toebox is WATERPROOF.
Watched Dj sneakerhead's DNA interview with a couple of the product managers/designers of this shoe and they said that the original '86 big bubble didn't get recalled, they just left it out and stores just sold their remaining stock. So basically there was a bunch of really rare, legit pairs floating out there.
I need a pair of these in my life! They look just about perfect. I do hope we get a few more other colourways, blue, green, yellow. I remember Nike's guarantee from the early 90's. Had the tongue on my 1st ever pair completely detach and they replaced the pair, no questions, no quibbles. Ended up with the Air Structure Triax which were a higher priced pair.

Thanks for confirming the improved comfort of the midsole. I too, being a "geezer", can't(won't) wear the regular AM1s because they're so uncomfortable. My 2008 Atmos pair have been stilling in the closet for a long time unfortunately because of this, among my other AM1s. They're also slightly too narrow for my feet. Heard these are slightly roomier in the midfoot, is that true? Again, thanks for the informative review!
Yeah man, I have the same issue with them even though I love the friggin look of the shoe I would have to cut off my pinky toes. I tried another pair about two years ago….walked downtown and back, which was about an hour total plus while downtown and got home with a blister on each of my pinky toes….gave them to my old roommate. I guess I could go up a size but then I have to find 14 and 13 is hard enough at times
Love the wedding crashers edit lol. Anyway, stellar review as always guys. Love the AM1 in general and this release is no exception. Absolutely have to have these to go with the Royal anniversary pair in the collection.
Those look fantastic! Takes me back when I first saw this. I was in 4th grade I believe. It WA the 1st time I saw shoes in that price... It was the price that really caught my eye..😂 but I'd buy 4 pairs of them now for what they cost then. 😁

Well Said 👏👏👏👏👏

The reviewer? Awesome. The editor? Awesome. Both of them as a duo? Legendary. Keep it up guys!
Much appreciated!
You’re killing it with these reviews man. Good stuff
Thank you 😊
The breakdown we deserve on such a special pair, not all heroes wear capes!
We just got the J3 WC Reimagined, then the J4 Nike SB, and now these AM1 OG 86?
Wow. Nike releasing banger after banger after banger!
I'm still on the fence about getting these. Good to know that they're comfortable though. That's kind of swaying me towards going for it. 😅 OAN, I need to know where I can get that X-men sweatshirt! 🔥

We’ve been here since 2009.
Are you going to get your hands on the Air Max Pulses’
I love AM1s. Was lucky enough to get the Safari's, Atmos Tiffany colorway and Pattas but the midsole and airbags just gave out. Every now and then I have to spend a bomb to sole swap them... Now I'll just get a pair every couple of years if I see something I like. Might just get this but not sure if I'll wear them often.

Glad you enjoyed it!
This dude is my go-to for any sneaker review. Appreciate you!
Great review, as always. I love AM1s, and I can't wait to get my pair from the shock drop in hand and put them straight to toe.
Chris I need to know where U buy your shirts and sweaters🔥🔥🔥🔥
Best reviews on the planet! Thanks :)
Luv ya reviews bro
Another great review!!! An OG I wish I still had was the original Air Revolution high tops. Why won’t Nike bring them back in OG form??
My first pair of Nikes where the Nike Air Max BW in the Marina colourway. I saw that they came back last year on the app but I missed out on a pair. Do you know if they intend on bringing them out again?
Looks great.
Hello!! I just want to ask if there’s a difference between men’s and women’s in the shoe.
I’ve never owned a pair of any Nike Air Max’s and today (On Air Max day) I copped this Big Bubble pair on SNKRS for retail, as my very first! And an ‘86 OG classic. So excited!
Another amazing review!!!!
Would you say they fit true to size and best places to get them?
Came here to learn about these shoes and I definitely did receive just what I was looking for!
BRUH my eyes about popped out of my head 🤯 I NEED to add these to my Air Max 1 collection. Absolute must have
difference between man and woman? only size?
What I like about your reviews is they are very technical and specific. That sets you apart from other reviewers. You and your wife are very cute together too!
These are dope! I copped the AM1 Anniversary royals back in 2017. Only wore them twice. I’m scared to wear them because of the materials. One small drop of anything on the toe box and you will catch hell trying to clean them. Nice comfortable shoe though.
Man I wish I had a pair but agreed that toe box looked like a oil stain waiting to happen lol
Is there a difference between these and the women’s pair?
Hey man , nice review ! Also where is this hoodie from ? Much love from Greece ❤
Awesome vid, but where did you get that shirt. Its awesome
Great review, it’s funny but I wait to see your review before I decide on if I’m going for a shoe that I’m on the fence about! Thanks for what you do much love !
AirMax 1 for life….gotta have these 😀
I hope this is a one off, I really think it’s niche and really cool that they brought this back and told their story right. I was watching the heating up segment on SNKRS and the dude from the archive team did an amazing job. These are dope 🔥
The Royals are coming next year for Air Max Day
i hope they mass produce these, in like 10000000 different colors
@@jaer.6540 We only need the Reds, Royals, Aquas, Obsidians and Triple Blacks
Those look amazing... Would love to see some more color layouts
Where you get that shirt from my dude
These are a cop for me I love the story behind the shoe thanks Tinker and great review guys
Great video as always, now I can't wait to get mine this Friday and wear ASAP!
Great vid 💯and history 💯definitely a classic I keep in rotation in this colorway. I’ve returned to Nike in the past for defects but will they cover crumbled mid soles?

Did this big bubble air max 1 ever come out in white/blue or white/black/grey?
Great Review Chris! This is my shoe of the year. Decided to grab before they came out for a little extra💸. And depending on how much I like themI may just end up doubling up on these bad boys.
Is there a difference from the men and women? I know in some shoes they make the women’s more narrow but it’s wondering on these?
They finally fulfilled Chris’s wishes of going back to the bigger air bubbles which are closer to the OG’s!! Hopefully they start doing these with the 80s/90s Nike basketball models next!
Sorry to trouble u , chris… I’m a size 8.5M for a Jordan 1 high. Should I size up by 1 for the airmax 1 big bubble ?.. thanks
@weartesters brooo I ❤ much your reviews how u break down each meaning of the shoes thank u so much . BUT DAMMM the sweatshirt 🤤🤤🤤 broooo Wolverine & Gambling " I believe I hope ain't wrong " special that yellow color , I wld wear those with those Nike Air max 1 ❤✌🏾💪🏾
Where can I get that sweater, Wing? 🤩🤩🤩
With the heel padded lining thinned out compared to the other ones, will these fit TTS now? I have to buy .5 bigger in all AMs.
Same!! 😂
When I was in middle school (early 90s) you could take ANY Nike to the original Nike town on 6th and salmon and get in store credit if the air sole “popped” They stopped doing it around 98 and people abused the system of course but come to find out Nike was using all those shoes to build new basketball courts around the Portland area so it is was a win/win for everybody.
im afraid the suede may bleed? does it though?
Hey WearTesters! Awesome video and review, can you please tell me where you get your cool looking comic book shirts that you wear all the time in your videos!?
I am so excited for these. Even happier to hear you say they are comfortable. Can't wait for this drop.
Chris and his reviews are among the Best if not, THE BEST! He knows his stuff but you’re right, there are wayyyy too many shoes these days.
New guy.... Great video as usual..... Air max 1 BB golf is available in my size wonder if there same. Opinions?
They really need to make the big bubble a standard again.
Awesome review as always! 🔥
I hope they do a sport blue big bubble but if this is the only one I’ll be happy. Got my pair en route now I can’t wait to see these in person.
Thanks for the awesome review. How do AM1 fit compared to AM90? I wear 9.5 in the AM90 and Js. Are 1s narrower? Thanks in advance
They do fit narrow. However I was able to fit a 9 even though it was too snug, but staying true to size shouldn't be a problem for narrow footers as I'm a 9.5 also.

where can I get that sweater? might be easier to cop than the air max 1
Any differences in the women's and men's pairs?
Yo, where are you getting these dope sweaters/shirts? I LOVE me some Jim Lee clothing!
Are the men and women on these the same shoe/shape?
Damn I missed this drop today wonder if theyll restock getting these regardless classic fire 🔥 these definitely pop
Watched Dj sneakerhead's DNA interview with a couple of the product managers/designers of this shoe and they said that the original '86 big bubble didn't get recalled, they just left it out and stores just sold their remaining stock. So basically there was a bunch of really rare, legit pairs floating out there.
So with the air bubble being big does it fit different from the previous airmax 1?
Great Review 🙏In France no review on this jewel! Hope they size TTS.. I heard it could be smaller compare to other AM1.
Are they doing a raffle for these or is it first come first serve
Are they as narrow as other Air max 1's or are they a bit wider?
I need a pair of these in my life! They look just about perfect. I do hope we get a few more other colourways, blue, green, yellow.
I remember Nike's guarantee from the early 90's. Had the tongue on my 1st ever pair completely detach and they replaced the pair, no questions, no quibbles. Ended up with the Air Structure Triax which were a higher priced pair.

That shirt is 🔥 where did you get it?
Such a great rundown. Do we have any idea of quantities? I’m so tired of taking L’s on SNKRS
Great review, love that pair. Air Max month just keeps on giving
Any difference between the men's and women's color blocking???
Got my pair! Waiting for it to be delivered. Glad to have picked up a piece of sneaker history!
True to size?
Love this review! After trying the shima shima pair though I decided they weren’t for me aesthetically
Not feeling the shape of these. I think its the wider toebox which puts me off. The anniversary pair looks a lot sleeker.
great information in the video...A++....I was lucky enough to hit on the shock drop last week...can't wait to have in hand!!!
Awesome review! Definitely will try to cop them
true to size?
Wouldn’t this be very difficult to clean? 😢 So one to stock and one to rock situation?
I love y’all’s reviews man. Pure class.
Thank you 😊
Thanks for confirming the improved comfort of the midsole. I too, being a "geezer", can't(won't) wear the regular AM1s because they're so uncomfortable.

As a sneakerhead and a Swiftie, I love the ending of the vid 😂😂
Nice hoodie!! Love it!
Sizing?
If you don't tie the shoelaces, how does the foot(heel) stay in the shoe?
I was on the fence about these, but Chris convinced me! Definitely going to try and cop them 🎉
Wasn't able to wear my laces loose like that. Just a bit too loose on the heel but its a great look here.
Those look fantastic! Takes me back when I first saw this. I was in 4th grade I believe. It WA the 1st time I saw shoes in that price... It was the price that really caught my eye..😂 but I'd buy 4 pairs of them now for what they cost then. 😁
That Xmen golden yellow crewneck with those Airmax 🔥 🔥
Man I am so excited for Sunday!😊😊😊
Might have to grab these.. also that sweatshirt is 🔥, send the link
