"And honestly, over the course of the years, I've never sat down and counted. And over the years, I've definitely passed certain styles onto younger friends or friends that are less fortunate or people that are less fortunate. It's really had me think more so..."

"...quality over quantity. So, it's less how many pairs and more how much wear will I get out of said pairs?"

"This is the Nike Air Max 1 Dover Street Market. These are a personal favorite of mine. One, I'm a big fan of Comme Des Garçons and obviously by connection Dover Street Market."

"These are actually made of ventile, which is a tight weave waterproof, windproof cotton. So, that adds a performance element to these shoes. These have definitely held me down on more than a few occasions."

"So, we have the Nike VaporMax Off-White™. The second version of the VaporMax that Virgil did for the team."

"Great for travel, extremely lightweight, and the process that it takes to make the VaporMax bubble makes them very durable. But yeah, definitely a personal favorite."

"Here we have the Nike Air Max 1 Atmos, part of the Animal Pack. I'm a fan of the various animal prints on the upper. These are definitely a very interesting silhouette, always eye catching, one of the more notable and visually distinct Air Max collabs over the years."

"And here we have the Nike Woven Footscape 360, part of the One Time Only pack. Every now and then and over the years, they'll pair..."

"...an Air Max sole to a unexpected or unorthodox silhouette. And in this instance, the Air Max 360 sole paired with the Nike Woven Footscape. You can pretty much wear them with almost anything."

"Here we have the Nike Air Max 97 Ultra Skepta Edition. Some of the details I do love and appreciate on these is the orange braiding..."

"...on the laces and on the tail end of the shoe. Something you can definitely walk around in all day. Do you want to wear something fun or comfortable?"

"So, here we have the Nike Air Max 1 Atmos 'Tiger Camo'. The colors on these are super clean between the olive, the black, the beige and then you have the safety orange."

"Definitely over the years these have become a favorite. One of my favorite Air Max collabs, definitely top five. I think maybe between these and Virgil's VaporMax, maybe one and two."

"Overall, Air Max has always been something significant to me. It was the magazine ads, the print ads, things of that nature, classic Nike commercials, classic Air Max marketing. Air Max is synonymous with classic, timelessness almost if you will."

"Thanks for watching. I'm David Rasool Robinson and this is what I got."
