#3. NIKE AIR MAX 90 “INFRARED”
(Released in 2012)
This is a straight-up classic which, in my opinion, every sneakerfreaker should carry in their collection. It has such a big, cultural history. The combination of colours and materials are beautiful. And the Nike air max 90 is one of the comfiest air maxes.
I bought this pair after a long search, deadstock, at Marktplaats for €150,-

#2. NIKE AIR MAX 96
(Released in 2016)
I love this retro-look. The white and blue makes it a subtle colourway. My feet match perfectly with this silhouette, which makes it the most comfortable pair I own.
I coincidentally came across this pair when the whole retro-wave was popping up a while back. But this silhouette you rarely saw on people’s feet, which made it only more attractive to me. So it was a must-have at the time and still is.

#1. NIKE AIR JORDAN 1 “OLD LOVE/NEW LOVE”
(Released in 2007)
For every person that loves basketball, this is a true gem. Growing up with basketball and Michael Jordan as my hero this pair reflects my love for the game.
These two pairs belong together. They came in a special packaging which already made my heart skipped a beat. There is also a special, foldable card in the box; I love those kinda extra’s and details.
It is the first pair of Jordan's I bought with my own money with which I did not play basketball. And retail was only €200,- which you cannot imagine anymore these days.
"This pair reflects my love for the game."
