Nike Air: 3 Decades of Cushioning by Josh Rubin
I'm dizzy. As a celebration of three decades of Air cushioning, Nike is launching an all out assault on the senses of sneakerheads worldwide. Each of the 8 iconic AirMax models is being produced in 7 different colorway packs all dropping this weekend. I'll let the pros give you the overview and will just share my favorites. From left to right above, the AirMax '93 from the Orange Pack, the AirMax '97 from the Blue Ribbon Sports Pack and the soon-to-be-launched AirMax 360 from the Limited Edition toy inspired pack.
For the best pics, check out Crooked Tongues.
For the best overview of all 56 models, check out Freshness.
For the historical overview (and a desktop wallpaper designed by Chuck Anderson), check out Beinghunted.
