Chris by far does the best reviews. Well spoken very informative with history of whatever shoe he reviews. He gets to point right away. Hes talking throughout the video. Not like the other people on youtube. That fill the videos with pointless loud music cut aways. Keep it up. Chris
Facts… and the one thing about Chris he unbias. He going to review the shoe no matter the brand… and his review will be genuine not hype based all. Been a fan since 2011
The way Chris was praising the team that worked on this shoe as well as the person responsible for writing up the 3 paragraph description of its history was very nice. It even made me feel good to hear those words!
Love Chris’ reviews after all this time, has knowledge of every sneaker, and if he doesn’t, he digs into it for us and is as accurate as ever, love the reviews guys!
Just wanted to say bro you’re a true sneaker head love all types of shoes and different brands and super knowledge we can see how much passion you have
Watching Chris review shoes feels like i’m taking an Honors class for sneakers. Been watching sneaker UA-camrs since 2011 (Shout out Eddie Win and YoAnty), but when I need a refresh or want to learn a new fact I always come back here.
I'm still on the fence about getting these. Good to know that they're comfortable though. That's kind of swaying me towards going for it. 😅 OAN, I need to know where I can get that X-men sweatshirt! 🔥
I hope this is a one off, I really think it’s niche and really cool that they brought this back and told their story right. I was watching the heating up segment on SNKRS and the dude from the archive team did an amazing job. These are dope 🔥
They finally fulfilled Chris’s wishes of going back to the bigger air bubbles which are closer to the OG’s!! Hopefully they start doing these with the 80s/90s Nike basketball models next!
I’ve never owned a pair of any Nike Air Max’s and today (On Air Max day) I copped this Big Bubble pair on SNKRS for retail, as my very first! And an ‘86 OG classic. So excited!
What I like about your reviews is they are very technical and specific. That sets you apart from other reviewers. You and your wife are very cute together too!
Just to point out, there was the Royal Blue colourway in this big bubble/prototype shape back in 1986. It was the OG women’s release with images you can find on Google! Either way, great video!
Love your reviews. Was looking forward to this one. I also have been hearing all this new (to me) information about the cold and the change mid year. Very interesting. Love seeing the compression in the heal here. Like you can see the give I wonder how it will last.
I love AM1s. Was lucky enough to get the Safari's, Atmos Tiffany colorway and Pattas but the midsole and airbags just gave out. Every now and then I have to spend a bomb to sole swap them... Now I'll just get a pair every couple of years if I see something I like. Might just get this but not sure if I'll wear them often.
I'm pleasantly surprised they actually made the midsole material soft again. The midsole material was also softer in the early air max releases. (up till about 91-92) The same soft midsole material that was used in the air stab and air structure, windrunner, air max light, air max 90, and big window, The 180 and the Huarache midsoles were already a little harder.. The softer midsole crumbled quicker. The 86 am1 also looks better I think because the laceholes were separated a bit further from each other horizontally like many other high end 80's nike runners. Kinda like the sides of the shoes were lower.
I've been waiting for you to drop this review, I was excited to hear your thoughts and opinions on this, and it didn't disappoint. Chris always delivers the best sneaker content, love the channel!
These are dope! I copped the AM1 Anniversary royals back in 2017. Only wore them twice. I’m scared to wear them because of the materials. One small drop of anything on the toe box and you will catch hell trying to clean them. Nice comfortable shoe though.
786K subscribers now. It’s finally picking up. Hopefully we will see you hit 1 million by the end of the year! As always, thank you for the review and contents
Watched Dj sneakerhead's DNA interview with a couple of the product managers/designers of this shoe and they said that the original '86 big bubble didn't get recalled, they just left it out and stores just sold their remaining stock. So basically there was a bunch of really rare, legit pairs floating out there.
I need a pair of these in my life! They look just about perfect. I do hope we get a few more other colourways, blue, green, yellow. I remember Nike's guarantee from the early 90's. Had the tongue on my 1st ever pair completely detach and they replaced the pair, no questions, no quibbles. Ended up with the Air Structure Triax which were a higher priced pair.
I bought these and the GOLF pair and I must say...the GOLF pair needs a comparison video because it's the winner. The midsole is a gloss white, the air bag has a blue tint and overall it's slightly slimmer height. The traction is a plus to me and the biggest win is the toebox is WATERPROOF.
Love the wedding crashers edit lol. Anyway, stellar review as always guys. Love the AM1 in general and this release is no exception. Absolutely have to have these to go with the Royal anniversary pair in the collection.
Those look fantastic! Takes me back when I first saw this. I was in 4th grade I believe. It WA the 1st time I saw shoes in that price... It was the price that really caught my eye..😂 but I'd buy 4 pairs of them now for what they cost then. 😁
These came back out in the 90s. With the regular air bubbles, I had the red and the blue pairs. Not too many people had them at my school. Now they got the big bubbles got to get them..
@weartesters brooo I ❤ much your reviews how u break down each meaning of the shoes thank u so much . BUT DAMMM the sweatshirt 🤤🤤🤤 broooo Wolverine & Gambling " I believe I hope ain't wrong " special that yellow color , I wld wear those with those Nike Air max 1 ❤✌🏾💪🏾
This was such a tough pass when I definitely could have hit the shock drop. I already have the last release of these without the big bubble, and the sketch version, so a third pair was hard for me to justify. Excellent pair though.
Great review, it’s funny but I wait to see your review before I decide on if I’m going for a shoe that I’m on the fence about! Thanks for what you do much love !
When I was in middle school (early 90s) you could take ANY Nike to the original Nike town on 6th and salmon and get in store credit if the air sole “popped” They stopped doing it around 98 and people abused the system of course but come to find out Nike was using all those shoes to build new basketball courts around the Portland area so it is was a win/win for everybody.
Great Review Chris! This is my shoe of the year. Decided to grab before they came out for a little extra💸. And depending on how much I like themI may just end up doubling up on these bad boys.
Was wearing Nike Airs in the early 90s and they do break apart in 3-5 years especially if they get wet a lot, dry, and get wet again. They were way more comfortable though.
I'm actually geeking out over these! I remember when they looked like this back in the 80s! Back then we called air bubbles "windows". LOL Having visible air was the gold standard once these came out! I just hope I can cop a pair for retail. Getting increasingly harder to do these days. 😩

lmao i know who you’re talking about
Sean Go too have really good reviews because minimalist and detailed with first plans camera
Right bro ...👍👍
Well Said 👏👏👏👏👏
The way Chris was praising the team that worked on this shoe as well as the person responsible for writing up the 3 paragraph description of its history was very nice. It even made me feel good to hear those words!
Love Chris’ reviews after all this time, has knowledge of every sneaker, and if he doesn’t, he digs into it for us and is as accurate as ever, love the reviews guys!
The reviewer? Awesome. The editor? Awesome. Both of them as a duo? Legendary. Keep it up guys!
Much appreciated!
Just wanted to say bro you’re a true sneaker head love all types of shoes and different brands and super knowledge we can see how much passion you have
Appreciate that
We just got the J3 WC Reimagined, then the J4 Nike SB, and now these AM1 OG 86?
Wow. Nike releasing banger after banger after banger!
You’re killing it with these reviews man. Good stuff
Thank you 😊
The breakdown we deserve on such a special pair, not all heroes wear capes!
Watching Chris review shoes feels like i’m taking an Honors class for sneakers. Been watching sneaker UA-camrs since 2011 (Shout out Eddie Win and YoAnty), but when I need a refresh or want to learn a new fact I always come back here.
We’ve been here since 2009.
This dude is my go-to for any sneaker review. Appreciate you!
I'm still on the fence about getting these. Good to know that they're comfortable though. That's kind of swaying me towards going for it. 😅 OAN, I need to know where I can get that X-men sweatshirt! 🔥
Best reviews on the planet! Thanks :)
Came here to learn about these shoes and I definitely did receive just what I was looking for!
AirMax 1 for life….gotta have these 😀
I hope this is a one off, I really think it’s niche and really cool that they brought this back and told their story right. I was watching the heating up segment on SNKRS and the dude from the archive team did an amazing job. These are dope 🔥
The Royals are coming next year for Air Max Day
i hope they mass produce these, in like 10000000 different colors
@@jaer.6540 We only need the Reds, Royals, Aquas, Obsidians and Triple Blacks
They finally fulfilled Chris’s wishes of going back to the bigger air bubbles which are closer to the OG’s!! Hopefully they start doing these with the 80s/90s Nike basketball models next!
I’ve never owned a pair of any Nike Air Max’s and today (On Air Max day) I copped this Big Bubble pair on SNKRS for retail, as my very first! And an ‘86 OG classic. So excited!
Another amazing review!!!!
What I like about your reviews is they are very technical and specific. That sets you apart from other reviewers. You and your wife are very cute together too!
BRUH my eyes about popped out of my head 🤯 I NEED to add these to my Air Max 1 collection. Absolute must have
Just to point out, there was the Royal Blue colourway in this big bubble/prototype shape back in 1986. It was the OG women’s release with images you can find on Google! Either way, great video!
Love your reviews. Was looking forward to this one.
I also have been hearing all this new (to me) information about the cold and the change mid year. Very interesting. Love seeing the compression in the heal here. Like you can see the give I wonder how it will last.
Great review, as always. I love AM1s, and I can't wait to get my pair from the shock drop in hand and put them straight to toe.
They really need to make the big bubble a standard again.
Awesome review as always! 🔥
Chris and his reviews are among the Best if not, THE BEST! He knows his stuff but you’re right, there are wayyyy too many shoes these days.
I love AM1s. Was lucky enough to get the Safari's, Atmos Tiffany colorway and Pattas but the midsole and airbags just gave out. Every now and then I have to spend a bomb to sole swap them... Now I'll just get a pair every couple of years if I see something I like. Might just get this but not sure if I'll wear them often.

Those look amazing... Would love to see some more color layouts
I've been waiting for you to drop this review, I was excited to hear your thoughts and opinions on this, and it didn't disappoint. Chris always delivers the best sneaker content, love the channel!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Got my pair! Waiting for it to be delivered. Glad to have picked up a piece of sneaker history!
These are dope! I copped the AM1 Anniversary royals back in 2017. Only wore them twice. I’m scared to wear them because of the materials. One small drop of anything on the toe box and you will catch hell trying to clean them. Nice comfortable shoe though.
Man I wish I had a pair but agreed that toe box looked like a oil stain waiting to happen lol
Chris I need to know where U buy your shirts and sweaters🔥🔥🔥🔥
These are a cop for me I love the story behind the shoe thanks Tinker and great review guys
I was waiting for this review!
786K subscribers now. It’s finally picking up. Hopefully we will see you hit 1 million by the end of the year! As always, thank you for the review and contents
Another great review!!! An OG I wish I still had was the original Air Revolution high tops. Why won’t Nike bring them back in OG form??
Watched Dj sneakerhead's DNA interview with a couple of the product managers/designers of this shoe and they said that the original '86 big bubble didn't get recalled, they just left it out and stores just sold their remaining stock. So basically there was a bunch of really rare, legit pairs floating out there.
I am so excited for these. Even happier to hear you say they are comfortable. Can't wait for this drop.
Simple. When the GOAT speaks, I listen! Can’t wait for my pair. Great review as always !
I need a pair of these in my life! They look just about perfect. I do hope we get a few more other colourways, blue, green, yellow.
I remember Nike's guarantee from the early 90's. Had the tongue on my 1st ever pair completely detach and they replaced the pair, no questions, no quibbles. Ended up with the Air Structure Triax which were a higher priced pair.
That Xmen golden yellow crewneck with those Airmax 🔥 🔥
I bought these and the GOLF pair and I must say...the GOLF pair needs a comparison video because it's the winner. The midsole is a gloss white, the air bag has a blue tint and overall it's slightly slimmer height. The traction is a plus to me and the biggest win is the toebox is WATERPROOF.
Man I am so excited for Sunday!😊😊😊
Great video as always, now I can't wait to get mine this Friday and wear ASAP!
Are you going to get your hands on the Air Max Pulses’
That sweater is fire!!!
Great review, love that pair. Air Max month just keeps on giving
Definitely some must haves
As a sneakerhead and a Swiftie, I love the ending of the vid 😂😂
One of, if not my favorite air max shoes of all time. Only fitting it's my very first double up!!
I hope they do a sport blue big bubble but if this is the only one I’ll be happy. Got my pair en route now I can’t wait to see these in person.
Love the wedding crashers edit lol. Anyway, stellar review as always guys. Love the AM1 in general and this release is no exception. Absolutely have to have these to go with the Royal anniversary pair in the collection.
I was on the fence about these, but Chris convinced me! Definitely going to try and cop them 🎉
LETS GO OG AIR MAX 1
Those look fantastic! Takes me back when I first saw this. I was in 4th grade I believe. It WA the 1st time I saw shoes in that price... It was the price that really caught my eye..😂 but I'd buy 4 pairs of them now for what they cost then. 😁
🔥🔥🔥 Somebody need to give Chris a raise cause this man 🧠 is amazing.
These came back out in the 90s. With the regular air bubbles, I had the red and the blue pairs. Not too many people had them at my school. Now they got the big bubbles got to get them..
Man I really want and appreciate these now 😊
@weartesters brooo I ❤ much your reviews how u break down each meaning of the shoes thank u so much . BUT DAMMM the sweatshirt 🤤🤤🤤 broooo Wolverine & Gambling " I believe I hope ain't wrong " special that yellow color , I wld wear those with those Nike Air max 1 ❤✌🏾💪🏾
That crew neck shirt is tough! 👌
This was such a tough pass when I definitely could have hit the shock drop. I already have the last release of these without the big bubble, and the sketch version, so a third pair was hard for me to justify. Excellent pair though.
It's just amazing that they actually made this. It's obviously not a big money maker for Nike long term but just an awesome nod to their history.
💯
1 of my favorite Nike sneakers awesome video
Great review, it’s funny but I wait to see your review before I decide on if I’m going for a shoe that I’m on the fence about! Thanks for what you do much love !
I always thought you didn't like air maxes, I'm surprised to see this review here 😅 awesome as always
We’ve reviewed so many Air Maxes that it’d be weird if we didn’t review them.
Luv ya reviews bro
great information in the video...A++....I was lucky enough to hit on the shock drop last week...can't wait to have in hand!!!
10:05 😂 BTW these are dope. Another great review 👌🏽
When I was in middle school (early 90s) you could take ANY Nike to the original Nike town on 6th and salmon and get in store credit if the air sole “popped” They stopped doing it around 98 and people abused the system of course but come to find out Nike was using all those shoes to build new basketball courts around the Portland area so it is was a win/win for everybody.
So glad I was able to cop a pair from the shock drop. Might go for second pair
Nice hoodie!! Love it!
Where you get that shirt from my dude
AMAZING crewneck!!!!!
Finally man, I knew you were gonna do a review on these bad boys,
Great Review Chris! This is my shoe of the year. Decided to grab before they came out for a little extra💸. And depending on how much I like themI may just end up doubling up on these bad boys.
Awesome vid, but where did you get that shirt. Its awesome
That sweater is NICE!!
Wasn't able to wear my laces loose like that. Just a bit too loose on the heel but its a great look here.
I want the blue pair too but I'm copping em for the first time really digging the ogs
Damn I missed this drop today wonder if theyll restock getting these regardless classic fire 🔥 these definitely pop
I'm now highly considering picking these up
Looks great.
Really decent work on this review. These look to be a really well thoughtout design and build for this classic.
Love this review! After trying the shima shima pair though I decided they weren’t for me aesthetically
The sweater is straight 🔥
I’m glad I hit on the shock drop 🙏🏽😭🍀
There's so much many shoes men, its getting harder and harder😂
they totally could put this foam in the jordan retros the 5s that came out in 2006-2007 had soft comfy midsoles in my opinion
Was wearing Nike Airs in the early 90s and they do break apart in 3-5 years especially if they get wet a lot, dry, and get wet again. They were way more comfortable though.
I couldn’t even focus on the shoe. I just kept staring at that sweatshirt 😂 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Awesome review! Definitely will try to cop them
I'm actually geeking out over these! I remember when they looked like this back in the 80s! Back then we called air bubbles "windows". LOL Having visible air was the gold standard once these came out! I just hope I can cop a pair for retail. Getting increasingly harder to do these days. 😩
They looked like these for less than 18 months…
There’s a model of air max called bw for big window.
That sweater 😮💨🔥
Gonna wait for the next colorway of these badboyz
I love y’all’s reviews man. Pure class.
Thank you 😊
I didn’t get EA (early access), but my time will come 3/26! I loved the review!
Great detailed review! "That's what she said" part 😅
Man this colourway looks so dope on feet.
Great Review 🙏In France no review on this jewel! Hope they size TTS.. I heard it could be smaller compare to other AM1.
Dope review!! Can't wait to get them in hand.
