I've been wearing Nike sneakers since I can remember. I've been collecting them for a little over 10 years. But in terms of the Air Max series, I've only been racking them up for about 3 or 4. Most of what I had were Jordans. With JB slipping in the retro market, I wanted to expand my horizons and go beyond the J's and look for a shoe that looked good on my feet and stayed comfortable. New Air Max's were peaking the $200 mark in Canada, I didn't have deep pockets so I tried the retro AMs. My first pair of Air Max's ended up being the AM90. 3 reasons- most GRs in this line were inexpensive, readily available and they were a comfortable pair of shoes for casual wear.

Neutral, Bright Cactus, Flint Grey. This colorway was dope. At this point I was hooked. I needed more. And the more I read about them and saw them on my local shelves, the more I wanted them. And the more I wanted to explore the AM line and start branching off to different ones. Like my J's, I was on the hunt for the classic retro colorways, exclusives and new releases that collectors alike would clear shelves up for. Being in Canada, it was difficult for me to get alot of the stuff that I see in the throusands of pages in the AM thread on NT, let alone even thinking about being a part of such a group when I have very limited access. We have no Undefeateds, no NikeTowns, no FlightClubs, no little independant stores that sold the kind of stuff everyone wants. And with NikeiD restricting shipment to Canada, my only source were the online market and NikeTalk.

From my access to such websites, I've received alot of help from AM members, general NT posters and online stores to get my collection started. I thank those for all the help to get it to where it is. It isn't much, but to me, it's only the beginning and it can only keep going from here. I don't have alot of the limited releases, Tier 0s, or exclusive colorways. I can't do NT meet ups or get Nike iDs. But my interest in the AM line and my participation and contribution to NT and the Fam is growing, and hopefully keeps on growing. Alot of the Fam is close knit and I'm not sure if such a modest collection of AMs or the fact that my love for the AMs is too recent to qualify to be a part of it, but what I do have is a moderately small, but growing contribution and much respect from up north.

So here it is. My official application to Team AM Fam.
