Seattle might be the one people bring up first when they talk about how good these nights got.
The shoe was an Air Max 95 with two completely different faces. A then-new black buffalo print with green contrast stitching on the lateral side, a nod to the Emerald City, and a medial side that turned into a rainbow, each rand a color from the History of Air pack, the AM1 red, the 180 ultramarine, the 93 teal, the 95 neon yellow. Three hundred pairs, each numbered. But the event itself is what people replay. ESPN came through and filmed a segment for It’s The Shoes, going table to table. Alan Tisch won with a stacked collection, Fat Joe Forces and Ray Allen XXs and more. Zac Dubasik had a table of 90s gold. Mike, The Jester, brought customs that had the whole room talking, tennis ball Dunks and a digi camo pack. A lot of the Nike crew drove up from Portland.
It had the feeling of the whole sneaker world pointing itself at one city for a weekend.
Were you in Seattle for that one, and whose collection table do you still remember walking past?
