Nike’s London: ON AIR competition is down to the final three designs, and they’ve selected nothing but heat.
Three young Londoners from different areas of the capital have now had their designs hand-picked out of thousands of entrants by a panel of experts, including grime don Skepta.
Their winning designs drop over Air Max 270, Air Max 98 and Air Max 97 silhouettes, and are each inspired by different areas and eras of London’s rich history. But only one-of-a-kind silhouette will be selected to be put into production and then sold on the shelves. Check out the final three below.
Air Max 97 London Summer of Love by Jasmine Lasode
“Lasode’s design celebrates love and summer in the city, with a personal memory – a first date spent on Primrose Hill — as her backdrop.”
Air Max 98 Ode to Layou by Reuben Charters-Bastide
“Based on his grandfather’s journey from the Caribbean to the UK aboard the HMT Empire Windrush, Charters-Bastide’s concept marks the undeniable contribution that immigration has made to shape London’s multicultural landscape.”
Air Max 270 London Darwin by Shamima Ahmed
“The design from the 18-year-old London native brings to life the evolution of Brutalist architecture that has shaped her hometown since the 1950s, revealing the unexpected beauty of the city’s infrastructure.”
