The name Matt Stevens should certainly ring a bell if you’re a loyalist of Nike’s original Air Max series. His Air Max 1 tributary book called the MAX100 Project displayed his personal favorite sneaker in one hundred different formats by his own interpretations. To celebrate to reinvention of Air Max and the debut of the new Engineered Mesh, Nike Sportswear teamed up with Matt to create #AIRMAX, which expands his already impressive Air Max 1 illustrations into the territory of the Air Max 90, 95, and 97, pinpointing the design inspiration, color, culture, and reinvention of each sneaker. Check out some of his artwork below and be sure to check on the #AIRMAX project on the Nike Sportswear Facebook Page.

Sneaker News is jumping back into the Sneakerpedia archives once again. What’s the topic this time? We wanted to give a little bit more shine to the Visible Air technology, Tinker’s brainchild that quietly celebrated its 25th anniversary as of last year. We dug through the various collections on display over at Sneakerpedia in an attempt to uncover some of the most revered, aesthetically striking, and technologically advanced vis-Air sporting sneakers over the years. The result is a visual history of the progression of Nike’s Air Max revolution from 1987 all the way up to 2012. Join us after the jump for a look at the sneakers selected, some OG and some not, and make sure you head to Sneakerpedia to see what other gems are waiting to be discovered.

The Nike Air Max line has long been a favorite out in Europe and the bubble bottom sneakers are a frequent sight on the streets of any given metropolis across the pond. Celebrating Europe’s embrace of Tinker’s innovation is the new Nike Air Max ‘Home Turf’ collection. The group consists of three separate collections paying tribute to London, Milan, and Paris, respectively. Included are a few OG silhouettes like the Nike Air Max 1 and the Nike Air Max 90, but the set is dominated by hybrid and newer styles such as the Nike Air Max 2013, which even sees its bubble borrowed in the brand new Nike Air Max 1 2013 and the Nike Air Max 97 2013. Continue reading to get a full look at the entire set, which launches at select NSW spots on February 15th, with a wider release scheduled for March 27th.

The Nike Air Max 97 is set to suit up in the Engineered Mesh look this year, but that doesn’t mean that the Nike Air Max 97 Hyperfuse is suddenly going into retirement. Pictured here is a purple pair of the sneakers with a spcckled treatment hovering just above the bubble on bottom. The colorway, together with said speckles, has them looking rather close to the Nike Air Max 97 EM ’600K’ combo but there’s no word yet as to whether or not they’re officially related. Continue reading for a full view and check back with Sneaker News for the first word when this pair arrives in stores.d

There’s still some ways to go for the Air Max 97 to celebrate any major anniversary, but there’s still been some plenty of ’97 action over the last few years. Most recently, the running track-inspired design was given a minor makeover with the Air Max 97 2013 with the Hyperfuse upper and 2013 cushion, but some classic builds are still being produced, like this Black/Red/White that just hit Foot Locker Europe as an exclusive. Some additional angles are right below so take a look and head on over to their online shop to get yours.

Just as the New Year began, Sneaker News showed you a sick collection of Air Max footwear inspired by the 2013 Nike Running “USATF” Collection. Beyond the actual colorway and design of the shoe, the sneaker models involved all incorporated the build of the all-new Air Max+ 2013; there was, of course, the Air Max+ 2013, but also a funky Air Max 1 2013, which featured the 2013 cushion supporting an Air Max 1 Hyperfuse upper. Joining this incredible collection of footwear is the Nike Air Max 97 2013; an Air Max 97 with a Hyperfuse-built upper is joined by the Air Max+ 2013 outsole, offering up quite the fitting upgrade to the first “full-length” visible Max Air running shoe of Nike’s revered heritage. More of this sick release below, so take a look and stay tuned to Sneaker News for potential release info.

Following up on the Hyperfuse trend of the past couple of years, Nike is again remixing some of its most beloved Nike Air Max silhouettes with a brand new technology. That would be Engineered Mesh, a perforated, proprietary material that allows designers to zone out different sections of the sneaker that require more or less flexibility. The Nike Air Max 1, Nike Air Max 90, Nike Air Max 95, and the Nike Air Max 97 are all set to hit in January of 2013 in a group of OG colorways made futuristic by the EM designation.
