Few kicks have aged as well as Nike’s Air Max line. After almost 25 years, countless models accompanied by that signature cushioned heel have kept Air Max at the forefront of sneaker freakdom. Everyone has their favourite, be it Charles Barkley’s CB 34 or the infamous Air Stab, but most will agree that the O.G. model is second to none. Among those in accordance would be Matt Stevens. The Creative Director and Senior Designer at HAWSE has taken his affection to new, interesting heights with the Air Max 1-a-Day Gallery, an ongoing project featuring a daily reinterpretation of the Nike model. Each entry showcases both Stevens’ skills and the AM1′s endless potential for design opportunity and aesthetic appeal. The highlight is the ‘Tribute Series’ he put together as a shout-out to his “favorite and most personally inspiring designers, illustrators and thinkers.” Pictured above is his homage to The Small Stakes’ Jason Munn; more after the jump.
