Okay, so, I’ve been wanting to get a new pair of sneakers for a while now. I finally decided to go for it and get a pair of Nike Air Max 90s. The thing is, I really wanted a specific colorway: blue and black. Sounds simple, right? Well, let me tell you, it wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be.

First, I hit up the usual spots, you know, the official stores. I figured they’d have the most options. I went in, browsed around, and asked one of the guys working there if they had the Air Max 90 in blue and black. He checked their stock, and nope, nothing. Said it was probably a limited edition or something and that I might have better luck online. He mentioned something about it being called ‘Black University Blue’, so I made a mental note of that.
Next, I started looking online. I searched for “Air Max 90 blue black” and also “Air Max 90 Black University Blue.” I found a bunch of listings, but a lot of them were either sold out or not in my size. I saw some listed with a style code “FJ4218-001” and the price was around $130, which was what I was expecting to pay.
Then I remembered those websites that sell exclusive or hard-to-find shoes. I checked them out, and finally, I found a pair! They were listed as “Air Max 90 ‘Black Laser Blue’.” They had my size, and the price was a bit higher, but I was just happy to have found them. I double-checked their buyer protection and everything looked good, so I went ahead and placed the order.
A few days later, the shoes arrived. I was so excited to finally have them in my hands. I opened the box, and there they were. The sneakers were perfect, that signature Air Max sole, the black mesh base, and that beautiful blue color. They were exactly what I wanted. I tried them on, and they were super comfy. I’ve been wearing them everywhere since I got them.
