Nike Celebrates Air Max Day 2018 With 9 Killer New Kicks
Air Max obsessives, take note.
You might not have gotten off work for it, but March 26th marks Air Max Day, which diehard sneaker obsessives observe to honor one of Nike‘s most iconic creations.
The groundbreaking sneaker style with the unmistakable soles date back to 1991, when legendary NIke designer Tinker Hatfield made it possible to walk on air with the introduction of a chunky sole with transparent air bags.
They have been healing the pained ankles of athletes ever since and definitely provide a spring to your step. What’s more, those signature rubber soles can make for some seriously eye-catching kicks.
In the lead-up to Air Max Day, Nike dropped new takes of some of its most classic Air Max drops, including the original Air Max 180 from 1991, the Air Max 93 and several iterations of the VaporMax, which matches the air-packed soles with mesh uppers.
Here, nine Nike sneaker drops to honor Air Max Day. Check out Nike.com to cop your pair (warning: some have already sold out).
