今年的 3/26 Air Max Day 除了發售了未上市就話題性很高的 Nike Air VaporMax Flyknit 之外，也復刻了去年 Vote Back 活動最高票的 Nike Air Max “Atmos”。而 Nike 也依照去年的模式開啟了投票活動，要大家票選出明年 Air Max Day 登場的「特別款式」。

2017 Air Max Day 如果大家還記得的話，在 Vote Forward 活動中候選鞋款都是廣邀世界各地的設計師來設計的新款，不只是新的外觀設計，更訴說著個設計師想法、文化背景。

而最後脫穎而出的就是由洛杉磯藝術家 Sean Wotherspoon 所設計的合體 Air Max 97 x Air Max 1，雖是新穎的設計，但用色與材質可說是呈現出 90 年代的街頭流行文化 (相關靈感可見站內報導)，而這樣新舊的交融便成功獲得最高票，成為即將於明年發售的款式。近期 Sean Wotherspoon 更親自在個人社群貼出鞋款的實著照與設計細節之含意。

@oglukemook took this picture months ago. If it was up to me, I would have posted it that day. This was the first complete sample Nike sent to me of my Air Max 97/1’s. ?Limited releases in VA and LA next month! Air Max Day in March will be the global release. I did everything I could to make Nike produce as many as possible and make them available to every part of the world. Just know, I did my best! MORE AIR

可以發現鞋面多層次的材質運用，大膽的用色更顯得鞋款特別。也可以發現鞋舌魔鬼氈的小細節，不知道實際販售會不會更多魔鬼氈款式供大家替換。Nike Air Max 97 x Air Max 1 預定將於 2018 年 3 月 26 日上市，但如果你身在維吉尼亞州或是洛杉磯的話，便可以在下個月於他的店舖 Round Two vintage sportswear stores 搶先入手，而目前尚未有相關售價的資訊。
