What is your favourite Air Max silhouette?

For me, it’s got to be the Air Max 95.

Why?

I just love the chunkiness of the AM95 and how it can add a classic look to any fit. I’m fairly short, so I love them in the summer with either shorts or a denim skirt to complete the look and give me that longer-looking leg. They’re also a perfect sneaker for all seasons, especially autumn/winter as they have more padding than most and have a grippy outsole so you don’t slip about in the rain.

What makes this silhouette special for you?

The 95 is actually the first style of Air Max I ever bought! My collection has always been more centric around Air Forces, and more recently Jordans and Dunks, so my Air Max collection is not massive. I guess where not many Air Max silhouettes have found their way to my collection, it means the 95s that I do have are even more loved.

The Air Max 90 is my fave AM silhouette!

Why?

For me, it strikes the perfect balance between sporty and stylish and I love that it's not too feminine. Plus, it reminds me of Lily Allen who, ofc, was my 2008 style ICON. Give me some thick gold hoops and AM90s any day of the week.

What is your favourite Air Max silhouette?

My favourite Air Max model is the Nike Air Max 97 because of the choices of colour and streamlined feel.

Why?

The "Have a Nike Day" is my favourite colourway because of the vibrant colours, text detailing and cute Swoosh smiley face on the laces. This was actually my first Air Max silhouette I picked up and so it's super special to me.

What is your favourite Air Max silhouette?

It's got to be the Air Max 97 for me, especially the Silver Bullet which is one of my favourite sneakers in my rotation and has been for years now.

Why?

It's been my go-to favourite pair for years now and I just never get bored of the colourway, design and how timeless this particular pair is. You can style it so many ways, my favourite fit with the AM97 Silver Bullet is always either a pair of sweatpants or baggy trousers, add a cute crop top and oversized coat on top and you're good to go. The easiest, everyday look that's comfy and got a streetwear edge to it that I love. I'm not precious about getting them dirty or a little beat either which makes them a lot more wearable.

What is your favourite Air Max silhouette?

I’ve recently started re-wearing the Air Max silhouette, and I don’t know why this love affair between me and an AM ever took a break!

Why?

The iconic Air Max 90 gives me a ’lil nostalgia, as I remember having a fair few pairs when I was super young - probably in pink! Now though, I love an AM95 for a chunky, yet funky shoe! All-time faves have to be the 270 Cactus Jacks, though!

What is your favourite Air Max silhouette?

Give me a chunky trainer any day of the week! For the summer, I especially love a pastel, pretty-in-pink iteration of the TN Air Max Plus.

Why?

Simply paired with an oversized t-shirt and a pair of biker shorts, you're good to go. For me, comfort is just as important as style, so the exposed Air unit gives me that extra spring in my step. I also live for the 'lil, textured Swooshes on the sidewalls. As much as I love the legendary Air Max 95, there is something about an Air Max Tuned that just hits differently.

What is your favourite Air Max silhouette?

My favourite Air Max silhouette is the Air Max 97. I feel like generally, the love has died down over the past year or so but I’m still loving mine!

Why?

This is my favourite silhouette because of the piping design, the air unit and how comfy they are. They also don’t make my feet look huge which is a pro too!  I remember the confidence I had when I first went to the gym in them - it’s crazy what a pair of shoes can do for you sometimes! I felt like they totally upgraded my outfit, gave me that extra mental boost to exercise and I just felt really cool tbh
