Age: 26

Shoe Size: ???

Okay guys, I guess its time I do this and make it official. ...and I want to start out by saying I know by all means my collection has jack on half of you guys, but like most NT's would say "I buy what I like" or more like what I can afford.
So, my name is John, I'll be 26 next month and I live in Dayton, Ohio w/ my girl and our daughter. Ive been into shoes for as long as I can remember but never really started collecting until after high school in 03 when I actually started to get money. Shoes have always been very important to me, I can remember meticulously looking for "that" shoe when my parents would buy me school shoes, of course they would never spend more than $50-75 back then but I would try on shoes until my dad would get mad and make me choose. Once I started out collecting I was wreckless buying a lot of jordans and forces, but after a few years and the internet of course I realized they just weren't my shoe. Although I still have around 50 pairs of J's I hardly ever wear them as I work full time in dress clothes and on the weekends air maxes are the only thing I'm thinking about. I have been browsing NT for almost 5 years reading the wdywt and other dumb stuff but for some reason i always looked past this thread, maybe its size was intimidating to me (I know, I know, I was missing out) but soon realized AM's were for me and this was the spot to be on NT. Nothing but love makes this thread so awesome, I love the camaraderie in here from all you guys and I only hope I get to know everyone just as good. I do know a few ppl just from randomly posting in here and visiting Daves WUW mix and its been nothing but love.I try to check in here atleast once a day I just feel weird posting recycled pics or just saying whats up w/ no real purpose but I can assure you all I'll be posting a lot more.Okay so enough blabbering I guess its time to show what I have so far, and once again fellas remember I have only been buying maxes for a little over a year since finding this thread so take it easy on me, plus having a kid makes it tough for me to buy shoes as much as I would like to, or as much as my girl will let me. I wish I had the "heat" you guys have but help me make it official. Thanks for your time!

I would like to apply for membership to TeAM Fam. I follow the thread everyday and thought I should finally sign up.
My name is Matt White and I live in Dallas, TX. I have been on NT since 2001 and go by the name Fattymagee14, it sounded cooler 9 years ago. I bought my first pair of air maxes in 6th grade, the Air Max Light 2. I have had three pairs of them since and bought each years AM until about 2002. Now I mostly buy 87s but I am always looking for what I can't live without. Like your Patta Black/Green/Gum 87s. Those are too amazing.

That is my collection in the first 2 pics and then the third pic is a bonus pic of my daughter's collection. Real name is Shawn and I am stillhasthedustonem on NT. I have alot of OG basketball kicks and jordans in my collection. As I get older air maxes are growing on me so I am slowly getting rid of the jordans and buying only air maxes. I just love the way they look and my favorite is the AM90.

Well my love for AM did not start to long ago it was actually just this year that I began to gravitate towards AM. Before that I was all about Jordans like I'm sure most here were before. That is a story for another day. I remember seeing the QS AM1 at outlets and I jumped on 2 pairs (they are no longer with me). When I got the shoe I just couldn't put it down. From that day which was only 8 months ago I made up my mind that I would concentrate on purchasing AM instead of any other sneaker. The journey began with and still continues, although my collection does not contain a great quantity I believe most of my pairs are great quality with the exception of a few. Although my favorite model has to be the AM 1 the AM 95 is not far behind I would say they are almost equal with the AM 1 holding a slight advantage. While saying this my favorite pairs are the AM 1 chili and the AM 95 slate. I appreciate the older retros as opposed to the newer versions.

I very much enjoy the AMFAM thread because there is zero bs and everyone shares the same appreciation for the shoes that I now enjoy wearing and seeing by the members of the fam. On to the collection it is at 22 pairs I am sure this is the very small compared to the collections I have seen posted on here but I hope that it is enough no doubt it will continue to grown. I wear 8.5 or 9 I can pretty much fit either or. Well here it is.

My love for Air Maxes goes way back the firat pairs I can remember having, the Air Burst.I've always been a fan of Air Maxes and beat up most of mine through the years. To me AMs are meant to be worn so never really got into the higher limited AMs til recently with my pick up of the Parras AM1. Some of my favorites through the years included emerald AM95, silver 1997s, all navy AM 2003, my two AM 90 iDs, Neon AM95, Air Burst (wht/red and grey/red/navy). Check out my blog post about why I love Air Maxes http://shoeaffliction.blogspot.com/2010/05/air-max.html . AMs never lets me down. I enjoy seeing people wear their AMs cuz to me that shows that they really like that pair of kicks.
Since JB has been putting out trash lately I've been focusing on getting my AM collection up to date. I've been stocking up lately on the recent releases like the wht/red and wht/royal AM1s and thanks to the TAF thread I'm hooked once again on Air Maxes. I trying to get where some of the regulars are like crisuno. I see myself wearing more AMs these days and hope to continue. My collection is growing each day thanks to fellow NTers.See you on NT!
