Hiroshi Fujiwara, one third of Nike’s HTM dream team, unveils his mash-up of Nike’s past and present
VIA GQ: This Wednesday, Nike took a great leap into the future by unveiled a ton of new, innovative products. In 2016, Nike will release sneakers that are lighter, more comfortable, and even some that lace themselves. But on March 26, the label will look back by celebrating the the 29th anniversary of the Air Max 1 release with its third annual Air Max Day. To mark the occasion, the label is releasing a host of special edition Air Max sneakers, many of which are designed by some of the brand’s closest partners. One such partner is Hiroshi Fujiwara, a streetwear pioneer and one third of Nike’s HTM sub-brand (a joint design effort between Nike CEO Mark Parker, designer Tinker Hatfield, and Hiroshi) that is known for introducing new Nike technologies via limited-edition releases, such as the Flyknit Racer in 2012. So, for Air Max Day, Hiroshi designed a sneaker that perfectly marries Nike’s classic sneakers from the 1970s with its more recent history. So, without further ado, here’s your exclusive first look at the Nike Air Max LD Zero H.
