Happy Air Max Day!—Coveteur Weighs In on Our Favorite Pairs of All Time
Remember the Bacons?

Happy Air Max Day, friends! When the rarest, forgotten, and most popular range of Air Maxes will be spotted on the feet of almost every other person you pass on the sidewalk. A little bit of a history lesson: The first Air Max model (the Air Max 1) was released by legendary designer Tinker Hatfield on this exact day in 1987, and it’s been a fan favorite ever since. This year Nike won’t be releasing any new sneakers—instead they’re focusing their efforts on their Give Fresh Air campaign. Don’t fret; we can still reminisce about the best colorways and styles that have been released over the last 32 years. Below, we weigh in on our favorites of all time. Feel free to slide in our DMs to let us know yours.

Air Max 97 LX, $170
Despite the fact that they sold out eons ago, I was able to get my hands on the perfected version of my gold Air Max 97s (I’ve ruined those from too much wear). This elevated version is a mix between peach, tan, and gold. Catch me in camel-colored dresses, crop tops, and more all summer with nothing but these on my feet.
