Yesterday was Air Max Day although, for many, it was one of the saddest Air Max Day’s in recent memory. Of course, this is because we are all stuck in quarantine. Not as many people are trying to buy shoes and the day wasn’t celebrated like it normally is. Regardless, some athletes took the opportunity to show off their collections to their followers. LeBron James is a Nike athlete and was one of the highest-profile people to take us through their closets.

In the 9-minute video below, LeBron can be seen going through a plethora of Air Max sneakers that range from rare to general release. Fans in the comments were pretty excited about what he was showing off and we don’t blame them. LeBron has an incredible collection that will surely make sneakerheads everywhere jealous.

One thing that’s important to remember here is the fact that LeBron is able to get pairs early and for free. As a Nike athlete, you are afforded certain privileges, especially if you’re as good as LeBron. Regardless, it was pretty cool to see all of the old pairs he has. His collection is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and if you’re a sneakerhead, his video was a must-watch.

Tell us in the comments below which Air Max shoe is your favorite.

Air Max Day is just a couple of weeks away, at this point. Yes, that’s right, the holiday sneakerheads all know and love is finally here and it doesn’t seem like it will be canceled. Air Max Day will see the global launch of the Nike Air Max 2090 which promises to be a futuristic take on the Air Max 90.

One of the colorways that will be dropping is this “Infrared Duck Camo” offering, below. The shoe is a part of the “Duck Camo” pack which will feature an Air Max 90 with similar aesthetics. The difference with this sneaker is the fact that the “Duck Camo” is hidden under a black layer of material on the upper. From there, Infrared detailing is placed on the back half of the midsole, as well as the back heel. Overall, it’s a clean aesthetic that will certainly appeal to all of the Air Max stans out there.

According to Sneaker News, you will be able to cop these on March 26th for $140 USD. Let us know in the comments below what you think of this model and whether or not you plan on copping.

Back in 2013, Nike and Atmos teamed up for a special edition of the Air Max 90. The colorway in question was called "Duck Camo" and immediately became a huge hit. For the uninitiated, the sneaker featured an orange toe box and cuff while the rest of the shoe was covered in camo. Now, Nike is bringing the sneaker back, just in time for Air Max Day on March 26th. The big difference here is that the shoe isn't an Atmos collab. Instead, it's an interpretation of the 2013 model. 

What makes this particular version different is that the orange has been swapped out for an "infrared" aesthetic. This makes the shoe stand out just a bit more while the contrast between colors is completely revamped. The official images for these kicks were recently revealed and you can take a look at them, below.

Nike and Japanese sneaker boutique Atmos have reportedly teamed up for an exclusive Air Max Pack in celebration of the annual "Air Max Day" festivities on March 26th. According to sneaker source Py_Rates, the Atmos x Nike Air Max Pack will consist of the recently revealed "Reverse Duck Camo" Air Max 90, as well as a special edition Air Max 2090. The latter will reportedly feature an 'Infrared/Black/Dark Sage/Baroque Brown" color scheme. 

Check out the IG post embedded below to get an idea of what the Atmos x Air Max Pack will look like.

The "Reverse Duck Camo" Air Max 90 is essentially an alternate take on the exclusive "Duck Camo" Air Max 90 that released in 2013 as part of Nike's collaboration with the Japanese sneaker boutique. Both AM90 collabs share the familiar camo print upper, but the 2020 version opts for bright orange detailing on the toe box, ankle collar and outsole rather than the black used on the OG pair. Overall, the kicks appear to be much more of an "alternate" than a "reverse," but we're not here to argue semantics.

With Air Max Day approaching on March 26th we expect official images to be revealed sooner than later. Check out the upcoming AM90s below, and click here for a rundown of all the best sneakers dropping this month.

Sneaker brands across the board brought the heat in February in celebration of the NBA’s All Star festivities and that momentum will carry over into March as there are a plethora of highly anticipated styles set to release.

As always, there are a number of Air Jordan retros on deck – including the “UNC” Air Jordan 3s and Air Max 95 inspired Air Jordan 4s – but that’s not all. In celebration of Air Max Day (March 26th) Nike will be introducing their “shoe of the future” and reports suggest a Nike Kobe V Protro is on the way as well. Additionally, sneakerheads can look forward to a festive Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2, “Safari” Dunks and a sleek Nike LeBron 17 Low.

Without further adieu, scroll down to check out 10 of the most popular sneakers set to release over the next four weeks.

Nike LeBron 7 “Fairfax”

Release Date: March 6

Retail Price: $200

Originally created in honor of the famed Los Angeles high school in 2010, the “Fairfax” Nike LeBron 7 will be releasing for the first time ever this month. 

The special edition colorway features a predominately black upper, highlighted by glossy, black patent leather overlays with varsity red and varsity maize accents strewn throughout. As a further nod to the Lions, “Fairfax” branding can be seen on the medial side of both shoes.

Air Jordan 3 “UNC”

Release Date: March 7

Retail Price: $200

Just like the player exclusive UNC 3s given to Tar Heels student athletes, the retail release features white leather uppers, equipped with the classic elephant print detailing and UNC blue accents on the mudguard, tongue and heel.

The kicks also include “Heart & Soul” text printed upside down behind the tongues. What separates this retail colorway from the exclusive the Tar Heels’ PE, is that it will not feature any direct UNC branding, and will instead opt for a Carolina blue Jumpman on the tongue.

Nike SB Dunk Low “Safari”

Release Date: March 14

Retail Price: $100

Although the details have not yet been confirmed by Nike, sneaker source Py_Rates reports that the highly anticipated “Safari” Nike SB Dunk Low will be making it’s way to retailers on March 14th for the retail price of $100.

The kicks, featuring brown tones and the unmistakeable grey safari print, pull inspiration from Atmos’ Nike Air Max 1 “Safari” collab that debuted back in 2002.

Air Jordan 1 High Zoom “Racer Blue”

Release Date: March 14

Retail Price: $175

Jordan Brand has another Air Jordan 1 Retro High Zoom colorway in the works, following up the black/iridescent iteration that recently launched as part of the “Fearless” collection.

This forthcoming “Racer Blue” version comes equipped with a predominately white leather upper accompanied by glossy, grey patent leather overlays and a unique, mesh ankle collar. The kicks are also highlighted by an eye-catching racer blue inner lining with a combination of red and blue on the outsole. Like the first AJ1 Zoom, this pair features a full-length Zoom Air unit, hence the name.

Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 “Desert Sage”

Release Date: March 14

Retail Price: $220

The “Desert Sage” Yeezy Boost 350 V2 will come equipped with a sage green primeknit, a perfect fit for any pre-Saint Patrick’s Day release.

Additional details include a reflective streak on the lateral side, a bright orange sock liner and a light gum outsole beneath the Boost cushioning, which is encased in a semi-translucent sage green shell.

Nike LeBron 17 Low “Bred”

Release Date: March 15

Retail Price: $170

It’s that time of the NBA season for Nike to start releasing the low-top version of LeBron James’ signature shoe, following the grand unveiling of the Space Jam inspired “Tune Squad” Nike LeBron 17 Low.

Up next is a “Bred” iteration featuring a blacked out upper, offset by a dark grey midsole/outsole combination, while splashes of red add some flair to the stealth construction. The red Nike swoosh also comes equipped with a black pinstripe detailing, which we’re sure has a deeper meaning rather than just a random design element, although Nike has not yet announced the official release details.

Air Jordan 4 SE “Neon” (Air Max 95)

Release Date: March 21

Retail Price: $225

As a tribute to the OG Air Max 95 colorway, the Air Jordan 4 is outfitted in varying shades of grey suede, highlighted by eye-catching neon detailing on the tongue, lace clips, insole and outsole.

As a further nod to the iconic Air Max 95, the kicks come equipped with thin, speckled rope laces and “Nike Air” branding on the reflective heel just as it appears on the AM95.

Nike Air Max 2090

Release Date: March 26

Retail Price: $225

Billed as the company’s “shoe of the future,” Nike is set to officially introduce the Air Max 2090 on March 26th, better known in the sneaker community as Air Max Day. According to Nike, the kicks utilize colors typically seen in electric cars, and the overall design of the AM2090 represents what Nike designers think cars will look like in 2090.

Other notable details include (H/T Nike):

• Air Unit: With the aim of all-day comfort, the Air Max 2090 employs a larger Air unit than its originator, with a 200 percent larger window than traditional side-visibility Air units seen 30 years ago. 

• Flexibility: Echoing the Air Max 90’s waffle outsole, the Air Max 2090 also employs distinct grooves for flexibility and takes original tread lines and updates the pattern for performance in 2020. 

• Color Blocking: Color blocking was instrumental in the development of the original Air Max 90, with darker colors underscoring the strength in the shoe’s support structure. In that same vein, the 2090 relays this through levels of opacity — the most supportive materials are 100 percent opaque, and the least supportive (and lighter weight) materials are see-through.

Nike Kobe V Protro “Lakers”

Release Date: March 26

Retail Price: $225

Nike has not yet confirmed the release of the “Lakers” Nike Kobe V Protro, but it would be very remiss of me not to pass on information that the kicks are tentatively slated to launch on the 26th.

The “Lakers” Nike Kobe 5 Protro, featuring the familiar purple, gold and black color scheme, were first introduced by Anthony Davis during the All Star Game. In addition to the obvious Lakers-inspired design, the Kobe V also features special edition LA insoles as well as the Black Mamba’s signature on the heel.

Air Jordan 5 “Fire Red”

Release Date: March 28

Retail Price: $200

In celebration of the 30th anniversary of the day Michael Jordan hung 69 points against the Cleveland Cavaliers (3/28/1990), Jordan Brand will reportedly re-release the beloved “Fire Red” Air Jordan 5. 

As you’d expect, the kicks will come dressed in a smooth, white leather upper equipped with that puffy 3M reflective tongue, a black midsole and fire red detailing throughout. This particular colorway originally debuted in 1990 and last released in 2013, although the retro did not include “Nike Air” branding on the heel.

Nike’s year long celebration of the 30th anniversary of the Air Max 90 will feature the return of several classic colorways, as well as the debut of the brand’s newest AM90-inspired silhouette, the Air Max 2090. Billed as the company’s “shoe of the future,” Nike is set to officially introduce the Air Max 2090 on March 26th, better known in the sneaker community as Air Max Day.

The Air Max 2090 will make it’s debut in the white-based colorway seen below.

Nike

Leveraging the same DNA that made the Air Max 90 so iconic and future-forward 30 years ago, the Air Max 2090 is designed to illustrate what the future holds. According to Nike, the kicks utilize colors typically seen in electric cars, and the overall design of the AM2090 represents what Nike designers think cars will look like in 2090.

Other notable details include (H/T Nike):

• Air Unit: With the aim of all-day comfort, the Air Max 2090 employs a larger Air unit than its originator, with a 200 percent larger window than traditional side-visibility Air units seen 30 years ago. 

• Flexibility: Echoing the Air Max 90’s waffle outsole, the Air Max 2090 also employs distinct grooves for flexibility and takes original tread lines and updates the pattern for performance in 2020. 

• Color Blocking: Color blocking was instrumental in the development of the original Air Max 90, with darker colors underscoring the strength in the shoe’s support structure. In that same vein, the 2090 relays this through levels of opacity — the most supportive materials are 100 percent opaque, and the least supportive (and lighter weight) materials are see-through.

Nike's annual Air Max Day (March 26th) is just four weeks away and we're starting to get an idea for which special edition sneakers will be releasing in celebration of the made up holiday. One of the biggest rumors leading up to Air Max Day is the debut of a "Reverse Duck Camo" Nike Air Max 90.

The kicks in question are essentially an alternate take on the exclusive "Duck Camo" Air Max 90 that released in 2013 as part of Nike's collaboration with Japanese sneaker boutique Atmos. The two sneakers share the familiar camo print upper, but the 2020 version opts for bright orange detailing on the toe box, ankle collar and outsole rather than the black used on the OG pair. Overall, the kicks appear to be much more of an "alternate" than a "reverse," but we're not here to argue semantics. 

Nike has not yet announced official details, so it remains to be seen if this "Reverse Duck Camo" colorway is another project with Atmos. Stay tuned for the release announcement and click here to preview the upcoming Air Max "Bubble Pack."
