    The Nike Air Max 1/97 is a masterpiece. It's a collectors piece and Sean should have worked on more Nike silhouettes. As for his work for Adidas, it's not his best and they are going for retail, within 40 days will end up on sale. So in my opinion I was expecting more, but just got average.

    Love the Nike collab, but really the ZX 8000 collab is so underrated. I understand people not loving it, and i know the materials aren't top-tier and the comfort isnt amazing either BUT i love the boldness and all the different materials. It's a wild pair for sure, but it's worthy of more attention than its gotten.
    as for all his other adidas collabs, they are fine but underwhelming.

Because the AM97 is my second fav AM model and the AM1 is my 4th fav AM + I love the upper of the AM97 but the midsole was not my fav and with the AM1 I really like the midsole but the upper is too boring for me so the hybrid is the perfect Matchup for me personal

With a different crepe sole. I still want SW airmax but for 1,000... And these airmax crepe in my size are 500 on stockx. I did well. Not skepta airmax BW well. But close.

    Silhouette popularity makes the difference. Adidas doesn't have as many silhouettes that rival Nike popularity in each space. The SW 1/97 is special on many levels, the contest, a technical collab, the hybrid, his design, the materials, the story all culminated in one of the best hype shoes ever. Definitely his best work, w/ the Asics a close underrated 2nd.
