From Kaoru Takami to saltyegg, an inside look at the personal archives of Air Max collectors across Japan, Korea and China.
Air Maxes aren’t just sneakers. They’re a movement that reaches all corners of the globe. On March 26, 1987, Nike released the first of countless models, igniting a cultural legacy that would revolutionize not only footwear design, but the very nature of collector culture.

The result is a visual trip through personal style and cultural identity that displays passion, creativity and, of course, an unwavering love for all things Air.
