      @Tony Bellew @Tony Bellew the top 5 I'd mostly agree with tbf, it's the latter of the list, mostly unknown and way out of touch sneakers that don't belong on here, namely the 180's, 93's, BW and the Burst, and i know they come with the attitude of it inspiring things we see now etc. But that's why they were better on the full top 20 list rather than being put onto this list

    The BW Persian violet is to me the best Air Max of all time. In many countries of Europe, the term AIR MAX was literally confused with the BW. It remained as the Air Max undisputed staple during and way after the 95s and 97s came along.

    The TN's came out in '99. I wore them heavy in 12th grade. Also, my brother is a sneaker addict since '89. He has the original 1st pair of Jordan's crumbled up and refuses to discard them. If you're interested in chatting with him about his million dollar+ collection of originals and his passion for sneakers, please lmk so I can share his info privately with you. I love your series btw. Also, I was a die hard Blazer head until they started selling in Footlocker, etc bc they were boutique sneakers. I also was heavy into 95s until they changed their factory to China in like '09/10 and couldn't tell real from fake. Gr8 show!! Luv it!!

      @@skalawatz To have an opinion is fine, I got no qualms, but for a group of people to collectively decide the 180 is so high seems entirely baseless, especially when calling the list "the best Air Max's' instead of "Complex's favourite Air Max's". The comments section is here for a reason, it's as far as I need to go with the subject.

    Great list! I read some where that storing sneakers with the paper accelerates the shoe breakdown. Apparently, the paper has an acidic quality to it.

    Great list! Like other commenters, I agree that more content like this should be made, it was a great watch and very informative. Top 3 for me in descending order is the AM1, AM95, and the AM 97.

    5:13 - Ay Welty, ‘Tn’ refers to the ‘tuned’ air technology in the shoe. Its name is Air Max Plus, since there are other models that have tuned air too. Look at varpormax plus silhouette, it has a ‘Vm’ abbreviation

    Solid picks & I agree with this list for the most part. Definitely feel Welty on the Deluxe, one of my fav pairs!

    That neon green and grey 95’s are my all time favorite pair of shoes. I’ve had over 4 pairs that look exactly the same. Let’s not forget the dozens and dozens of other colors schemes I have.
