Criminally underrated sneaker. Might be favorite airmax honestly
Not even close to my favorite air max but it is definitely criminally underrated
Super underrated
Fax!
I have one in the university red cw and I LOVE IT
Love the looks of my 98’s, but the 97/98 full air unit makes them feel so clunky compared to, say, 95’s
I’ve never seen these in person, from photos they look so nice. To me they’ve always felt like a less known 97’. So underrated
They’re super nice in person. Feel super lite in hand too
I think they are better than the 97 and wayyyyy better than the 95s
@@JmasTheKilla215man... 95's are so fucking ugly bro... i dont get the hype. And im old enough to know.
@@JmasTheKilla215alright there not that good
Overlooked because 97 is so popular and iconic.
I love the 97's, but the 98's look better.
My FAVOURITE air max model! Loooooooove the 98s so much! Dope vid fellas!!!! 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾
Def one the best and most unique Air Maxes! Thanks for watching mang
I love my michigan 98s to death! Sad to see that its so underrated
@@qodfrev So underrated
Exactly, this shoe slept on I don’t know 🤷♂️ why??? When these were brought back in 2014 I bought 4 Pairs of the OG Color(White/Grey/Volt) they were on sale at Jimmy Jazz and I scooped them up! And as far the Nike Air Max 96, I got them as well, lmao 😆 the Black/Purple and the Scream Green for dirt cheap when everyone was on the Air Max 97 I picked them up on eBay for dirt cheap. I don’t know 🤷♂️ what’s wrong with modern day Sneakerhead’s of this era. I’ve been doing this since 2003 and the 90’s had REAL GEMS 💎!!!!!!
Air max 98 is the most underrated in the nike's history of shoes. NO DOUBTS
edit: you when you say last air max pair do you mean like there will be no more air max
Underrated forever
i think he means the most recent air max to release
my top 3 98s (no specific order)
1. Teal’s
2. La Mezcla’s
3. Mbappe’s
Ye the mbappes are so nice
This channel is so underrated
I appreciate that dude
one of the biggest regrets i'll ever make was not picking up a pair of gundam 98s when i was still working at a sneaker shop
Just got a pair of the 98 raptors and was blown away by the quality. Absolute steal of a buy ❤
The AM98 is great. For me I like how wide it is without feeling loose. The 97 air bubble is my favorite so that combined with a more comfy upper works great
Aside from the plus/TN this is one of the most creative shoes they have ever made
I am so glad you guys talked about this shoe one of the greatest
Yooo dope, i was waiting for you to make a video about the 98s, absolutely love them!!
I’m glad we could come through man. Thanks for watching!
You guys deserve a lot more subs. Much love from the Netherlands 🇳🇱!
I was looking for this video in the channel like 4 days ago. Really love the content, great job guys! Salve do Brasil
Haha Glad we could deliver bro! Thank you mang 🇧🇷
DOPE video. Always appreciate the history and nostalgia.
you know its a good weekend when nacho and brian uploads a video, love it homie🔥✌️
Ive been collecting for a longgg time but the first pair i ever bought for resale was the gundam 98s back in 2018. It just looks too good in that cw! Love the video again brothers! Keep pumpin out these videos!
Just saw this,it's as great as the ones before keep up the great work guys and as always thanks for the info
I use to have these as my first air maxes as a kid and would call these my gameboy shoes since I always use to play pokemon green, red, and blue games on it
I quite fancy a pair of 98s, just haven’t found a colourway yet that I really want
Start with the OGs is you can afford it 😎
this makes the day better
This comment makes my day better!
Love y'all content man got me thru some bad times
Hey Louis! Keep your head up G. Glad we can provide some quality entertainment for you. We got more on the way! Have a good day man
I bought my first pair of 98s at a goodwill in perfect condition (real) and since then i fell in love with the design. Definitely most underrated model
I had a pair of Air Max 98's And I absolutly loved them!
Great video once again! Big up 🙌
Thank You 🙏 for this Video As Always, Appreciate this Video!!!
98s are super sick! Because of the mesh they are way more comfortable than the 97s. Also the Gundam Colorway is one of my faves of all time. What a great shoe!
I need a pair before the hype jacks up the prices.
So you will always make videos and Nacho will post on Instagram?
You are great in what you do. But Nacho is my personal favourite.
He's my favorite too! We're just separated in different cities cause covid and we are being careful not to travel. But he helps with these videos in a big way as well
Im gonna watch all of your videos tonight!
Let’s gooo! I hope you enjoy them man! Got plenty more on the way
I'm an old school sneaker head. I was a fan of the 95s and 97s since release, but always hated the 98s. 95s and 97s have a nice symmetry to them while 98s look like they placed patches and parts of various shoes together.
I have some friends who feel the same way about the 98s’. Personally I like them but I’m definitely more into the 95s and 97s 😎
I felt the same way about the 98 aesthetic until I started copping them under retail earlier this year. What made me change my mind is they feel a little better on feet (roomier/taller) for me than say the 97s. Great to see the 98 get a little love.
@@EdsHead Bro I always wanted the 95, 97, and 98 also the Plus Tn. I have a pair of LV8 95 and bloody love them. Can't find any of the other AM's I / we mentioned for a fair price. To put it short, I paid under retail for the barely used still new pair of 95.
Love the La Mezcla and the story behind it. I bought two pairs my gf and I when they were on deep discount
Very well done and thoroughly researched video on the Air Max 98!
You guys should consider making a video on the Nike Roshe run. What happened to those sneakers? It was poppin for a couple years. Then, next thing you know... pff, gone!
the 90s were a golden age for nike...great video bro!
I love this channel man pls keep up🔥
Great vid as always
Ahh a fresh new relaxing Air Max Vid. Thanks
Thank you for watching man. Glad you found it to be relaxing 😎
I would love to see a history vid about the not just forgotten but downright denied air max 91/bw classic.
Great breakdown...I own the OG Orlando and the Cork 98 colorways.. I bought my daughters mom 3 pair of 98s back in 98 Total Orange, Orlando, and TL Green Blue in this video...
No one are you kidding. During lockdown I saw a ton of nike vids with countless guys reviewing them. I would like a pair.
That OG colorway is noice...🤘🏼💯✔️
Damn you REALLY did your homework bruv! I've been rockin the 720-818's this year...720+98=818. Another slept on update on another classic
i literally have 4 cw of 98s. I love them so much
Let’s go! That’s dope dude. Time to get 4 more lol
Same Here I Have The La Mezcla’s, NYC, Charlotte Hornets & The Martin Lawrence CW
@@oluwasolaadenekan533 the martin ones go so hard 🔥 got a pair ready to sell once 98's get the love they deserve
This my favorite model by far the most comfortable & best fitting got the Tour Yellow OG but the OG Gundam's man I still need them hoes but retail I ain't paying premium for them great video by the way
The Tour Yellow is just beautiful man. I need me a pair
so happy I picked up the gunndams when they rereleased. I probably should wear them a little less so I won't beat them up too bad
So glad this released before I had to go into work!
Lets go! Glad you could squeeze it in lol I have work soon too. Have a great day man
I own a lot of sneakers. Whiles the AM95 is aesthetically my favorite in the series, the AM98 is in the top 5 most comfortable sneaker I had ever worn.
Esta gran cultura es para toda la vida te agradezco. El gran esfuerzo por toda la historia que nos demuestras muchas gracias un saludo de Cabo San Lucas mexico
Muchas gracias Chingon!
The 98 is my 2nd favourite air max behind the 95 being from London we love these trainers
They weren't popular, because the design was too busy compared to the previous Air Max's.
Please could you do the history of the Air Max 96 I/II, as they were truly underrated.
I live in Greece and i regularly see 98s, all the shoe needs is some interesting colorways.
Once again this was a great video
Thanks Jeremy!
The 98s(white/yellow/blue shown on feet in this video) are my most recent purchase in my mission to own all of my old favorites. I have the air max 1's, 90's, 95s, 96s & 98s, as well as the LTD 3s and plus TNs...I'm still looking for the perfect 97 colorway
I have 2 pairs, all white with the red swoosh. And a red and grey pair! These and the 97 are my favs
Another classic video!!
Thanks mang!
Best sneaker channel on the internet!
Thanks man!!
Glad u mentioned the la mezclas 👍🏼
Great Video! Facts that since the lack of Swoosh branding on the air max 95, Siergo Lozano has put all the branding like “AIR” and small Swooshes all over the shoes randomly and it turned out perfect on the shoes.
Oh yeah I totally forgot to add that part about the swoosh and air branding!
I had an article about this model in July 2019. Your video is incredible. Would love to help if you need any information
PLEASE DO AN IN DEPTH VIDEO ON THE NIKE AIR MAX 90 - TO ME, THE MOST CLASSIC SNEAKER! 💯
All my favourite sneakers in one video 🙏🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
97 and 98 will always be in my rotation
You guys are the best👍
Thanks so much man
Gosh. Love your videos
Oh, memory lane...I ran the '98 and '99 L.A. Marathon with the Air Max 96 OG. Very light and comfortable shoe. I wonder what's available now that's comparable.
Great Vid!!! Now I’m shopping for the Corduroy!!! Thanx. lol.
Please do another most excellent video - about the Nike Air Vortex!!! I love that shoe PS, Air Max 1, 90, 95, 97, 98 & TN I still F with. I did get a pair of 720s but the thats where it ends.
Air max BW/97 has got to be up there for underrated air max's
i got a pair of 96s people say they look weird but i like em 🤷🏻♂️
the og 96's or the triax?
This is one of my favorite Air Max and I have a few but man Nike made these much smaller than others!
We need that airmax 90 video. New to watching your channel and couldnt find one
Agreed. Especially with this year being the 30th Anniversary and the Infrareds dropping soon.
Keep the fire vids coming bro🔥🔥 u should do a video of the New Balance 992 or Saucony Grid bro classics silhouettes
I stg when copped the gundams they sat on Nike SNKRS for at least 5 to 10 mins. That’s insane for how beautiful that show is
Nice content! Subscribed 😁👍🏽
Thank you!!
Thanks sharing
These are nice kicks very underrated
I had the OG Gundam back in 98. Bought it for 50 USD as it was on sale. Still treated it as a beater. I felt bad that I didn’t cop the 97 Silver Bullet. In that context, I have to give kudos to Nike for creating the hype to sell out this colorway in 2018.
Успел купить 2 пары airmax 98 в 2021 году. Люблю эти кроссовки. А все потому что в 1998 году, когда мне было 10 лет, родители купили мне первые мои airmax 98. Дома есть фотография, где я маленький в этих кроссовках. И я их помню. Airmax 98 - one love
Great video
Love the thumbnail. Honestly, Nike and anime play together more often than you might think. The Jordan 6 is in Slam Dunk! and the Airmax 95 is in Yugioh(renamed the Air Muscle of course.)
Just bought my first pair today, the 97 is my all time favourite shoe, I have high hopes for this one.
It s one of the best
New subby here really a great channel!!!
Hope they bring back the TL's! Nice video 👍🏾
🔥🔥🔥🔥💯me too
i see gundam and airmax in the thumbnail, i click. i wish they have a char's zaku colorways of this.
Fr, I love Gundam. Its the 40th anniversary for Gundam too, it'd be cool to see a Zaku colorway for the 98s.
Still got my Gundams.My girl got em for me and I copped the Bred 1s for her.My favorite sneaker til this day
My favorite colorway and I even have this for the air max axis. 😁😁
I had air max 98 and theyre my favorite by far followed by 97 and 720
Just picked up a pair of 96 Scream Green. I need Court Purple 94s to complete the 90s set
its weird that i came before a thousand views
Hahah It’s not weird. I appreciate it
Nacho Average finds made another bangin video
I'm sooooooooooooo glad I copped the 98 gundams 2 years ago! 😬😬😬
This Is my favorite Channel
When you opening the video during a conversation, 😂the devotion is real. 🤤Airmax 🙋🏾♂️
Damn dude thanks so much haha
That's rude
@@filo5240 yawn, shocker. It's not that serious 😊🎈
man this just beamed me back to my childhood, I had the 97 and the 98 tl, but I did not wanted the 98. :-)
yay new video
Thanks Eagan! I appreciate it mang
Nike should pay you guys. You always make me wanna get every history you put on
Would love to see a review on air max bw, my favourite air max from childhood
We should really start doing reviews
Nice vid
I bloody love my 2090’s. And I love the pure platinum colourway. They deserve to be a future classic.
The 98 I can take or leave. The weird boomerang shape on the front is just that: weird.
So underrated my favorite the most comfortable low key fly if you get the right colorways
Gr8 content Bro’s ☝️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏✌️AS ALLWAYS
Thanks Richard!!!
