John Kim Nike is giving its fans across the globe a head start on what’s to come for Air Max Day 2018. The annual celebration, which falls on March 26th, has been one of the brand’s most important marketing campaigns ever as it has reinvigorated the Air Max classics while catapulting new innovations into the forefront of what’s hot and new. The new model to fawn over this year is, of course, the Air Max 270, a shoe that we heavily previewed in prior weeks in various colorways. However, there are plenty of retro-themed releases such as the return of the Air 180 “Ultramarine”, Air Max 93 “Dusty Cactus”, and of course the wide release of Sean Wotherspoon’s Air Max 97/1.
