Right now by searching "Air Max 90" in Google shoipping/products, there numerous good deals on sweet color combos. A good deal is operationally defined as being less than 70$, including shipping. The deals do not seem to be limited by size . . . as in the deal is for all or most sizes rather than for just a few awkward sizes.
there are some really nice ones (although i still would not use a cheap fashion-sneaker for serious sports) but i had bad experiences ordering things from china...

Well, according to my "source:"
Where does Nike produce shoes?
1- During the 1970's, most Nike shoes were made in South Korea and Taiwan. When workers there gained new freedom to organize and wages began to rise, Nike looked for "greener pastures." It found them in Indonesia, China and most recently Vietnam - countries with no protective labor laws, endless supplies of cheap labor, and authoritarian leaders who outlaw independent labor unions.
2- By 1992, Nike had eliminated nearly all of their U.S. work force in favor of low-wage Asian producers.
You're not going to find any Air max shoes produced in the USA or Europe. So, I don't see the place of production being a hindrance to buying this product, unless you decide to not buy them on principal.
i did not mean the place of production, i meant the place from where the linked shop would send the ordered shoes... and wether they would really send at all.
theres no adress or imprint given or anything that would make me order a shoe from this very shop. also all the used logos are not-linked and all texts on this site are copied from the good old sneakernews.com.
on the other hand: the retail price for AM90 at a german footlocker is 139.- EUR (that is 185 USD or 227 CAD !!!) so a decent colour combo for 50-70 EUR would be the shit actually!
i love air max 90s and have 3 pairs (in use at this moment, but not for footbag). fact is: they are not sport shoes and have never been. all there is to is good marketing and fancy design.
I see why a lot of people are using them. they are by no means bad for kicking, but having played in proper shoes like brooks addiction GTR or addiction 7 i see a huge difference in stability and durability.
(by the way: i visited a nike factory in indonesia, where some relatives of my best friend worked. i had no problems from a moral piont of view... ok, wages where low but not lower than in indonesia overall and the workers did produce overstocks from the rests of the normal production to sell on their own bill to guys like me.)
so the question: have you (or anybody) had actual experience with the linked shop. because if so, i would definately organize a collect-order for aachen, berlin, frankfurt and anybody else in germany or even europe.
again: i'm really thankful for posting this! a good deal on AM90 is always something. even if i personally would not play in them

I had an experience ordering one on EDITED BY JE for EDITED BY JE and I must say, they really shipped my order. I guess it really depends on there you've placed your order for shoes...
I had an experience ordering one on xxx.com for Brooks Addiction and I must say, they really shipped my order. I guess it really depends on there you've placed your order for shoes...
