I think everyone had a "Darrin Hudson" in their lives. Darrin Hudson was in my high school, back in Marlboro, NJ. You know, that person that you had to one-up all the time. Didn't matter what it was: Gear, hair, grades, sports, whatever...it was ON. Well for Darrin and I...it was kicks. Plain and simple. Oddly enough, in a school with over 1000 kids, me and him were the only 2 really into sneakers back then. This is my blog dedicated to Darrin. This is to tell Darrin that I'm still out there, and if he wants to battle, here it is son!! Bring it!! I've since lost touch with Darrin, but thanks to him, you all get to check out the kicks I have amassed over the years. So it is here, that I will archive every pair of shoes I own. It’ll include detailed photos, a grading system, a little tidbit behind each one and every single one will be available for purchase. (Simply POST A COMMENT with your offer). Some other little goodies sprinkled throughout also. Even if I updated a different shoe every week, it would take me about 3 years to complete this project. So sit back and enjoy! The project begins January 1st, 2006...

NIKE AIR MAX 95.



COMPANY: Nike
STYLE NAME: Air Max 95
ALIAS: AM95
COLOR: Grey/Orange
STYLE #: 604069 081
SIZE: US 10
COUNTRY OF MANUFACTURE: Korea
DATE MANUFACTURED: 11/1/1997
CONDITION: B
ACQUIRED: Paragon Sports
OTHER COMMENTS: I have about 400 or so kicks in my collection. Guess how many AM95s? One.
I'm just not a big fan. I think the toe box is too sharp. To the point where it almost causes pain for my wide ass feet. And of course, as everyone knows; THEY SQUEAK! You'd think that with all the new versions of this style, they would have fixed the squeaking problem. I didn't even bother trying with the ones that just recently dropped this year. Does anyone have a field test? Do the '06 verisons squeak? But regardless, from a design stand point, these are 10.0. Visually, graphically, colors...just perfection. I don't fault the shoe because of my biological podiatric shortcomings.

hey jeff, i'm from indonesia and hooked to your blog dude... i had a pair of air max 95 produced sometime in 2000 i think. it didn't squeak even until the air cushion torn apart. i bought another one about 2 months ago, and it doesn't squeak too, well at least untill now it doesn't.
and i totally agree with you, from design stand point, a perfect 10, and performance wise even better. my favourite air max up till now.

Original 95's are the shit. Back then, i was into the whole Rave thing. Wore the 2nd edition of 95's- got them in the beginning of 96'- had the teal, blue and white ones. They were not as fresh as the original colors- neon green, grey, and black, but they were super rare after they sold through in 95'. Those kicks lasted me two years. I think I love kicks as much as you do.

I have about 6 pairs of air max 95's and I have to say I think they are the greatest sneaker ever produced. I started out liking them when I moved to London in 96 and saw that all my cousins wearing them but I could never afford them. Now I can but my feet are too wide to have a comfortable fit no matter what sizei get, but I guess they're worth the pain.

Does anybody know where I can find the air max 95's that were all different shades of blue?

You guys should checkout the shoes that came out from Nike with Ipod applications. Nike and Apple coming together is a perfect combination and if this can motivate a healthier lifestyle than more power to them.

AIR MAX 95'S ARE BY FAR THE BEST SHOE EVER MADE. I HAVE OWNED MORE THEN 40 PAIRS IN THE LAST 10 YEARS. EVEN AT 26, I CONTINUE TO PURCHASE THESE SHOES OVER JORDANS AND FORCES AND ETC. EVEN WITH A WIDE FOOT I STILL SLIDE RIGHT INTO THEM AND LOVE EM.

DOES ANYONE HAVE AN IDEA OF A AIRMAX SITE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DESIGN OR EDIT YOUR OWN SNEAKER?
