Finally, Spring has arrived!
We usually say this because, after the cold, the rain and the frost nature return colours and the sun to warm us up. This time, however, we say this because this season will be a packed spring of Nike releases and they are all of the absolute level, some of which are also very hyped.
So we decided to put together the 5 most anticipated Nikes of this spring:
Air Max 1 "Susan"
These particular
Air Max 1s are a tribute to
Missing Link, the latest short film produced by Laika Entertainment, an American stop-motion animation studio of which
Phil Knight (Nike co-founder and former president) is the owner. The Air "
Susan" is inspired by the characters of Mr Link and Susan, to an extend that the materials and colours represent the clothes and details of the two protagonists. The
Air Max 1 "Susan" will be available from
April 9th, only three days after from the theatrical release. Call me Susan!
DATE: APRIL 9th 2019
