The Nike AM1 Amsterdam

The Nike Air Max 1 nicknamed “Amsterdam” was a Nike collaboration with Parra.

Released in 2005

One of the most collectible and dopest Air Max 1 ever.

The Amsterdam AM1 was released only in Amsterdam so the rest of the world struggled to get pairs

Featuring premium suede, leather, and mesh all in tones of burgundy and pink the shoe is accented with baby blue on the swoosh, outsole, visible air unit, eyelets, Amsterdam logo, laces, and crown on the tongue. Pink and blue splatter covers the burgundy midsole while the theme of ‘Amsterdam is King’ is definitely executed

So when the shoe came out the retailprice was €150

But now the prices are way more. On ebay, Marktplaats and on forums the prices are sometimes 4/5 times more than the retailprice( approx. €600/700 sometimes more). Sneakerheads are crazy enough to pay it.

Here an example where you can buy the Amsterdam:
