Never Go Faux Vintage

None

1.

Call me a purist but hey Nike, what the fuck? Why are you giving the beloved Infrared Air Max 90 the vintage treatment? I know you're kind of running out of ideas and the whole vintage thing has been doing well for you guys, but this is a timeless runner you're messing with and we really don't need your artificially yellowed soles to remind us of the good old sneakerhead days of yore. It's already been retroed thrice within the last decade, and that's more times than I've had sex this year alone. And you know what the worst part is? I know once it drops next year, I'll see it in person and actually like it. Then I'll have to remind myself I still have a deadstock pair hidden in my basement from 2005 that's already reached prime oxidation levels. So take that Nike, my Infrareds are already vintage, son.
