Nike Prepares For A Week Of Air Max Drops

Air Max Day is finally here. The annual tradition kicked off in 2014 as an ode to the original Air Max genesis — March 26, 1987, with the Air Max 1. Since 2014, however, the Swoosh has embraced the past, present, and future of Air in various ways. From coveted colorways to breathtaking collaborations, 03.26 is circled on every calendar, and rightly so.

This Air Max Day is no different as the return of classics and other nods to the Air Max legacy make their way for this week’s upcoming Air Max Day drops.

Take a look at every Air Max release slated for the monumental holiday. Keep it locked on Snkrs Day and the sneaker release dates page to stay on top of drops, including Nike Air Max release dates.
