quickstrike amsterdam air max one

exclusive review to revive the love for this holy grail of mine. this was released back in september 2005 a collaboration from nike and Amsterdam based graphic designer and illustrator Pieter 'Parra' Janssen is one of the key players in Amsterdam's contemporary youth culture. Designer of RockWell Clothing and responsible for the most remarkable party flyers and posters around town he's in the pit of both the sneakerhead community as well as Hollands best party syndicates. There are 24 pairs stitched with the wording Parra on it.

As for the rumours: The Albert Heijn (Hollands biggest supermarket chain) -colour way fell through, because Albert Heijn dropped their orange and changed their colours back to just blue & white! Just a few Nike employees own a pair. A petition was brought up to Nike to bring these samples back. Props to the mad love from sneakerheads.
