New Balance’s $1 million ‘intern’ Darius Bazley has designed his own colourway of the 997, coming through with a patriotic red, white and blue take that celebrates ‘creativity and individuality’. Highsnobiety headed to NB HQ to capture the shoe’s creation.

Earlier this month we saw that Kish Kash, alongside Mutha and Brixton Soup Kitchen, was pushing us sneakerheads to get more involved with the community by turning Air Max Day into SpAir Max Day. Instead of just stunting in our finest pair on Nike's special day, Kish Kash encouraged us to donate our unused Maxes to those who are less fortunate. While 300 pairs were donated, they will not be totally satisfied until they reach 1000 gifted pairs. 

Take a look at the process above, and stay tuned to the SpAir Max day IG for more info on how to get involved!

Nike's legendary Air Max Day has come and gone for another year. Releases were copped, and old classics were busted out. Inspired by this, globally recognised sneakerhead, Kish Kash, spearheaded a movement known as ‘SpAir Max Day’ – allowing sneakerheads to donate their old Air Maxes to those less fortunate. 

This is an amazing way to push the sneaker and streetwear community to get more involved with the community.
