Three magic numbers. A date which made history. The release date of the first Air Max in 1987. For 10 days we prepared you with our Air Max History Countdown in the buildup to what's probably the most important day for a Nike Air Max collector, hunter and lover. Iceberg, Mister Air Max himself, was kind enough to allow us to exhibit his stunning Air Max collection. Not only that, he also graced us with his presence on the evening which turned into something extraordinary. After all, there aren't many people out there who can claim to own almost all the OG Air Max models in all of their colourways. We're impressed! A nice display surrounded by old Nike advertising clippings made the perfect setting for the OG collection. Around 200 guests found their way to our event. Music, delicious food, drinks, good shoes and a relaxed atmosphere complemented the vernissage. Our biggest thank you goes out to ICEBERG. We take our hat off to you for owning such a unique collection! The Air Max Day exhibition can still be visited until April, 4. Monday - Saturday 11AM - 20PM.
