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. Dont 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.

Atmos x Nike Air Max 2 Lights, $180
On April 5th we'll be given the gift of Atmos Air Max 2 Lights. Plastered in the most vibrant of colors, the patchwork design (with clear overlay detailing) makes these guys my go-to sneakers for all of my summer outfits. For my travel days, I’ll be matching them with an all-grey tracksuit, and when I feel like getting dressed up, I’ll toss them on with a colorful mini dress. Bring on the sunshine.
