Conjuring comparisons to the Nike Vote Forward contest that birthed the Sean Wotherspoon x Nike Air Max 1/97, the Nike: On Air sneaker design contest is similar but more specific.
Calling on designers from Paris, London, New York, Seoul, Shanghai and Tokyo, each city will see a winner with pairs produced for consumption. Just the same, each city’s candidates use design language true to their community and culture.
Narrowed down to 18 finalists — three from each city — voting is live now HERE and via the SNKRS App. You have the chance to pick which pairs win with the ability to vote once a day until voting closes at the end of May 13th.
The winners for each city will be announced on May 14th with pairs later made and produced. While an Air Max Day launch is assumed, no date is confirmed at this point. Peep all 18 designs below.
