AM 90 "KAWS"
Year: 2008
"You wouldn't buy that if it wasn't a KAWS collab..." Geez, you sound like our mothers. KAWS or not, these are dope. The lace jewel and XX contrast stitch look good, and the pop color is tactical and looks good. This sneaker is a nice example of the 90 taking detail and pop with a bit more grace than the Air Force 1. Designers can get a little wacky on the 90 without generating a clown shoe.

These were retroed in the UK in either 2007 or 2008, easily one of my favourite AM90s of all time!

Wow, this is as close to perfection as I've seen! Nike really need to sort it out and start retroing these simpler colourways rather than issuing shoes with lurid and ugly patterns all over them...

just a shame (BIG SHAME) re: the crackin' pain on the midsole... rendered mine unwearable.

had to cop the Infrareds off g.p. but they run small. toes hurt but the approving nods make it worth the discomfort.

Who made this list???? I dont agree at all. Ive seen enough after the top 10! I have the AM 90 warhawk's and they should have been top 5.
