It’s March, and for many Nike fans, it’s time for another series of new releases from the Air Max Day Collection. This is that time of year when new Nike Air models are released throughout the month, leading up to its culmination, an annual celebration known as — you guessed it — Air Max Day on March 26.
I’m a huge fan of the Nike Air Max. First released in 1987, the Air Max is somewhat of a cultural phenomenon and a must-have among sneaker enthusiasts. Being a cross between a training and a street shoe, the Air Max is equal parts functional and fashionable. And with its signature air cushioning unit, it helps short guys like me stand a little bit taller.
