Back in 2018, hundreds of participants descended upon Nike’s On Air workshops in six of the safari’s biggest footwear metropolises — New York City, London, Paris, Seoul, Shanghai and Tokyo — to conceptualize Air Max designs inspired by their hometowns, communities, and local culture. Out of the hundreds that attended and created, one representative from each city was chosen to come to Beaverton and work alongside Nike’s design team to bring their ideas to life. We’ve seen sketches, drafts, and samples of the half dozen homage packed shoes — but today, the final version of each was revealed. From Gabrielle Serrano’s “La Mezcla”-inspired free nike shoes giveaway women boots amazon from New York to Cash Ru’s “Kaleidoscope” nike dunks denim high topss from Shanghai, each design presents an important part the creator’s city in a unique and eye-catching way. Check a gallery of images and inspirations for each shoe below, and expect the On Air pack to begin releasing this April.
