I can’t tell you how much I love Nike Air Max 90 Infrared trainers. I have a huge emotional attachment to them. About ten years ago, when I was 12, my mum’s new boyfriend, Jack, bought me a pair of these trainers as a gift. I was a working class lad and my mum could never afford to buy any branded trainers, so when I got these I just felt like a king. I couldn't believe how lucky I was. I was a shy and anxious sort of lad, and so Jack encouraged me to wear my trainers to school, even though it wasn’t allowed. I was too timid to do so, for fear of being told off, so one day he ‘mislaid’ my school shoes so that I’d have no choice but to wear my trainers. As silly as it might sound, that day truly helped bring me out of my shell, with all the compliments I received from my mates, classmates, and even from the older kids, who thought my trainers were amazing. As it happens, I never wore a pair of school shoes to school again! Jack became my stepdad later the same year and he has been an amazing influence in my life - and it all started with these trainers! I bought the Gore-Tex ones as soon as they were released, and needless to say, my stepdad was very pleased to see that! I love having them to wear.
That’s such a cool story! Very similar to my experience, but I couldn’t get them when I was 15, I waited until I was 38 to finally get them and the nostalgia was epic! Check out my full reaction and unboxing here ua-cam.com/video/bEGDs7il8VE/v-deo.htmlsi=AUdPCGm6-nAz3Pi_ my favourite air max 90 ever 🔥🔥🔥
@@ryanskicks What was your experience? It would be really cool to hear about it. Maybe you could do a video on it maybe? Thanks for the link! They are without doubt the most beautiful trainers ever made!
That’s ok 👍🏻 pretty much a simalar story except couldn’t afford them, I never asked for them, I wanted them when I was in school but ended up getting the air more uptempo black white instead, the Infareds always seemed to evade me and by the time I I could afford them they had sold out . Finally last year I picked them up and rock them a lot! my most complimented and looked at sneaker 👟 I’ll b making a update video on them at some point in the near future that will b worth a watch! if you enjoy my passion for air max 90 please share with your friends and family they may like the love I have for them I have many vides👍🏻
These are great, and your review was totally on point. I have a different color way of this GORETEX 90 and just about everything you mention here was true for me as well. They were not very comfortable at first, but once you break them in there are wonderful, and they have saved my feet in rain puddles on many occasions. Love em!
Same happened to me. I wore them from about 15 days in the last 21 and now they're super comfortable. However, they got dirty very quickly. The way they crease are annoying too
Just bought my pair and I can’t wait to get them in the mail. I went up half a sz just like how you mentioned. Thanks for the great sneaker review. Super excited to get these on feet. 👊🏾
The gore-tex are meant to be wear in the rainy season. That is why I bought the other colors vs this color. I have to wash my feet every-time after each wear because of the smelly feet. This one is selling way below retail on Stock X - I wonder why?
The sweaty part is a bit vexing, but I think there great! splashing in massive puddles and not getting wet in my favourite colorway of all time I’m happy to put up with it lol 😂
@@ryanskicks I only walk to school with my kids in them. I thought I'd test them for rain but they can't handle it. I also have the light blue and black non gortex ones and Air max 87 but the infrared are ruined quickly.
@@stevengreig4386 that’s why I think there dodgy I use mine in really bad rain 🌧️ and they’ve cleaned up nice no issues with outsole or materials I’d take them back where did u get them from
I bought the Goretex infrared like a month ago and I didn't like the fact that my feet kept sweating. Then I watched your video and I really liked what you said about the Kiss My Airs Infrared AM90. Now that I got both versions, I can clearly say that the Kiss My Airs are way better than the Goretex ones.
Did you loose lace them? it kinda helps ! They’ll b great for winter mind lol 😂 the kiss my airs are perfectly made 10/10 update in the near future appreciate your support thank you
Nice! ... good to hear they break in well. 100% with you on the nostalgia, these were my first Nike's as a kid, just holding Infrareds or putting them on is a flood of awesome memories. My favourite sneaker/colorway of all time. I was frothed to add the Gortex version to the collection ... but when I tried them on, the toebox shape and slightly different hues and vs my 2020's put me off a bit tbh. Also saw reviews saying they are stain magnets if it is wet/muddy, and hard to cleanup ... so ive held of until they go on sale as they are sitting everwhere over here . Hopefully they keep sitting and I can grab a pair or 2 for a steal! 😁. Seems like a good one for trips to the snow maybe? Never enough AM90s ... 2020 reissue still my favourite though 🙌
I can’t explain how much fun it is the jump in puddles in infrared for that reason alone there worth a cop, the 2020 rec raft is my fave of all time hands down have you seen my reaction unboxing them thanks for watching 👍🏻
Please help me how to clean this pair, white part except lace and mid sole is getting yellow is this a stain? how to back it on white color. Thank you guys!
Crepe protect is the best for cleaning but the yellowing is a natural aging effect there is a way to remove with acetone and uk light but I’ve never tried
Are the red parts painted or the color of the plastic? Bc one thing I hate is when it’s painted and starts to chip off easy. I do like the newer shape with the trimmer black panel as they did with the crafted AM 90’s. Since I have the last he last infrared from a few years ago and stick with them for now, I also have a blue pair with the infrared trim. Funny how sneaker heads are really into details like the red bottom, but you don’t even see the bottom and eventually get dirty and messy.
I have some infrared airmax from like 5 years ago with infrared and bleached denim. They look SO good. They look a lot like this, but where the leather is on this shoe, there's bleached denim
Man appreciate you making this video. I need to get a pair I live in Florida 100 year round but it’ll rain and I gotta keep wearing my infrareds from. 2020 but I need this pair toi
Its strange that the Gore-tex on these trainers prevents breathability considering the very point of Gore-Tex technology is to be waterproof without preventing breathability. What have Nike done with these trainers if they've messed up that very technology that they have licensed into their product??
You must have soft feet dude. They’re sneakers. Not boots. Have nearly 50 pairs of 90’s and none of them need breaking in. No sneakers I’ve ever had needed breaking in, and I wear Red Wing boots so I know about breaking in. And I have these by the way. The leather 90’s are brilliant shoes.
Soft feet 😂😂 everyone fits things differently mate I’ve had to break in many 90s it all depends on materials for me mainly leather annoys me the am90 terrascapes felt crap at first now there awesome I was born in the 80s nothing soft here my dude
@@ryanskicks Of course. No offence meant it’s just that runners/ trainers/sneakers never feel like they need breaking in,unlike boots for example. Always just ready to go right outta the box. For me anyway. Born in the 60’s. 🫣😬
@@davidhilliard4777 a great era no offense taken mate! I think tougher materials agitate my feet more, being a am90 lover if it’s not top tier every time I’m harsh on them for the community and this is my favourite colorway so had to be done
@@ryanskicks Like watching your channel man. Keep it going. I’m just old school. Again it was not meant to be offensive,I love the AM 90’s Oh and I got the Safety Orange pair today. And the Camo’s last week. Delighted

There’s a way to remove that creasing hot wet towel and iron but I’m to nervous about trying it lol

There so awesome if there still a little tight double sock to full break in mine feel great thanks for watching ✅
@@ryanskicks of course thanks again!
I love that you're doing these updates. Picked these up again on sale for 103 Euros after having returned them previously due to the hefty price.
Thank you a bit steep right best off waiting until Nike gives a discount on the app more updates coming
So glad I was finally able to cop a Goretex variation of a grail!
That’s facts I wearing them right now a beautiful variation of a dope classic

This color is have to clean when you used in the rain with dirt and mud :(
I bought 2 pairs when they released, I've kept one in the box and tye other I rarely wear. Good review
Hey guys, how to clean this shoes i have pair, but idunno how to clean, the white part is yellowing or stain.
My sole has also completely worn through aswell. In 2 months the sole was worn down. My addidas torsion have lasted much longer.
I’d get them legit checked ✅ mate they sound dodgy do you wear them for running ?

@@ryanskicks Bought directly from Nike in the UK. I may contact Nike about them.
@stevengreig4386 I think that’s the best option tbh mine have been fine so far and trust me I’ve put them through the weather and running etc
thank you for your good review, I ordered them in the USA because they are no longer for sale in the Netherlands, or for bizarre prices😢
THANK YOU 😊 A great am90 awesome for rainy days
The 2020 recraft are the best though right?
100 percent imo there my favorite sneaker of all time 🔥🔥🔥

Thank you beautiful 😻
Do you clean the shoe as you normally would? Or is there a way to clean it, considering it has gore tex.
I’ve not cleaned these at all yet bought these to wear in the rain 🌧️ but I use crep protect to freshen my kicks up
