OffspringHQ presents Air Max Day 2022

Please Read First 3.0

Sneaker lovers from 3 cities (London, Amsterdam, and Berlin) came together to play for Nike-funded donations to give back and spotlight purposeful causes in their city.
In collaboration with SNKRS, we gave away tickets to Give Fresh Air: The Game Show, live in London on Air Max Day 3.26.

Give Fresh Air is a rallying cry to unify sneaker culture around a shared passion to ignite change. Kicking off in 2019, Give Fresh Air was started as an initiative where Nike and partners created ways to give “Air” to support local organizations and champion the power of the community.

Teaming up with PAQ for the third year running we produced an Offspring Community Air Max Day Zine, featuring Air Max themed artwork from the Community. The artwork was also featured at the Nike event…

Artwork created by three of our community members was displayed on the day.

Big thanks to @m._fernandes @byteganprice & @rakitecht

Also big ups to all who contribute to the digital version.

Vol. 3 is a very limited release featuring artwork from the community.

Nike ACG Air Mowabb

Introducing Offspring Outdoors. Being active outside has never been more important, so we took some of the Offspring Community across the city for an epic ACG city trail to celebrate the Mowabb’s 30th anniversary.

Community members were pulled all over London, trekking through all conditions, trying to stay ahead by solving clues as quickly as possible.

With members split into two teams, blue and orange, the spirit of exploration and discovery that ACG represents was in full flow. The day reached its peak with an incredible skywalk across an iconic North London landmark.

 

After taking in the breath-taking 360 views of the city’s skyline our community concluded with a daring drop as they abseiled down over 46m. Friendly team rivalries aside, it was a great day for our community to get together and see London from a new perspective whilst embracing the energy of ACG

Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG ‘Court Purple’

Another beautifully clean sneaker with premium detail, this women’s exclusive release of the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG. Taken inspiration from the ‘Metallic’ pack from 1985.

Here is the third release of the ‘Court Purple’, although like the OG, key differences include a satin-like interior creating a more luxurious vibe. Fundamental white leather uppers, with the detailing all in semi-glossy purple. Branded detailing on the Swoosh, Wing’s logo and ankle collar all in the accent colour as well as the outsole. A staple colourway for every Jordan-specific sneakerhead.

Nike Air Huarache ‘Triple Black’ 29.5

“Have you Hugged Your Foot Today?”

Celebrating its 30th birthday this year with multiply releases, now here is a special edition of the ‘London Hyperlocal’ OG Huarache. The ‘Triple Black’, one of the most successful monochrome silhouettes out there.

“Have you Hugged Your Foot Today?” the slogan created especially for Nike’s Huarache in 1991. The neoprene layer gives another level of comfort, with a full foot hug. This edition is dressed in special materials, a new toe box mesh and panel overlays. The sole is translucent with the well know quote devoted to the Huarache itself, making this one extra special.

To honour the release, we reached out to our London Offspring Community to find out what the Huarache means to them, David, Jackie, Jamina, Jon, Mo and Tasha provide us with their unique sneaker stories. This half-sock half-shoe creation brings the community together but especially in London, the home of the hype. Check out our Instagram to read their personal stories.

Air Jordan 1 Hi OG Shadow 2.0

Coming out of the shadows. It’s been a long time, 35 years to be exact since its initial launch as part of the original line-up in 1985. The first Michael Jordan shoe that transformed basketball and street style forever. The Air Jordan High ‘Shadow 2.0’ unveiled as part of the Air Jordan Summer ’21 collection.
A discreet difference to the original at first, but you can recognise the flip on the original shadow colourway with a closer look. Super clean colour blocking with the black, smoke grey and white. Unflawed stitching to match the lighter grey nubuck, an alteration from the OG.
Classic Michael Jordan wings emblem on the lateral ankle collar, keeping up with the original is the blackout nylon tongue, completed with Nike tab. The black and white contrast nicely on the soles of the high top silhouette
Regional raffle with collection from our London, Birmingham and Manchester City stores.

Air Jordan 1 OG Hi ‘Patina’

Another big day for the #offspringhqcommunity. The Air Jordan 1 High OG “Patina” is here, with its experimental brushed-bronze look it sure is a standout colourway for this year’s releases. Inspired by the chemical reaction of metals resulting in a Patina, a form of corrosion.
Built from panels of black leather uppers, highlighted with the shimmering brown brass overlays. “AIR JORDAN” branding on the lateral ankle flap in a ‘Patina’ inspired light green shade. All elements finished on a sail midsole and black rubber outsole.

Air Jordan 1 Hi OG University Blue ‘UNC’

35 years since the Air Jordan 1 was born, and it’s still a massive hit in the trainer community. Part of the Spring 2021 Jordan collection, the “University Blue” colourway will be launching on the 6th of March.

Inspired by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. On the uppers, genuine University Blue leather to the heel, toe cap, ankle flap and outsole, with contrasting white on the quarter panel, tongue, toe box and midsole and black on the Swoosh and collar. A classic colour-scheme.

Nike x READYMADE Blazers

Over 45 years after its introduction, the Blazer is still busy reinventing its presence — but it’s safe to say you’ve never seen the design like this. Backed by Japanese designer Yuta Hosokawa and his READYMADE label, this collaborative release features distorted dimensions and a DIY-inspired aesthetic that retains the style’s core DNA while adding a handcrafted feel to the timeless silhouette.

On the upper, fabric overlays pay homage to READYMADE’s penchant for employing second-hand materials in pursuit of something new. Camouflage-inspired graphics and exposed foam put a fresh twist on the collar and tongue, while the midfoot Swoosh sports re-worked proportions that nod to an OG version of the logo from 1971. Underneath, an angular midsole is comprised of standard Nike foams and about 15 percent Nike Grind rubber, meaning the shoe utilises a collection of materials originating from manufacturing scrap and worn-out sneakers that would otherwise enter the waste stream.

Air Jordan 1 Zoom CMFT “LDN”

More than 35 years after its debut, the Air Jordan 1 still stands as a tireless and versatile design.

The rebuilt edition gives the silhouette extra comfort by adding Zoom Air technology, with an air bag under the sock liner providing extra cushioning and support.

The ‘London’ Edition, in its grey tones pays homage to the City. Using a mix of tumbled and smooth leather, and hits of technical mesh on the cut out swoosh.

We are treated to exposed foam detailing to give the pair a more vintage aesthetic and a ‘LDN’ leather hang tag to complete the story.
