Nike Air Max Day 2022: Where to get the latest shoes before they run out of stock
Nike's Air Max Day is celebrated on 26th March every year by sneakerheads around the globe. But do you know the significance of Air Max Day and why it's one of the most iconic sneakers in history?
According to Nike, former aerospace engineer Marion Franklin Rudy left his career in the late ’60s to pursue creative solutions for other industries. Among his more audacious ideas: placing tiny air bags in the soles of athletic shoes to soften the impact. He pitched his air-bag innovation to 23 shoe companies; however, all rejected him.
Then, in 1977, he presented his vision to Phil Knight. The Nike co-founder took an air-cushioned prototype for a test run around the Beaverton campus, and returned to his office intrigued — Rudy’s shoe had an unprecedentedly smooth ride and history was made. Now, Nike is known in the industry as a leader in innovation and design.
