This year Air Max Day hit a little different for me. The week leading up to Air Max Day was really something out of a dream for me. I started the week with an amazing campaign with McDonald's my first of the year. Then, was surprised with a feature on Essence with some more of favorite sneaker friends and then there was a special package at my door from Nike Chicago.
From this amazing box, I was ablet to create days worth of content leading up to Air Max Day that you can still check out under my 'Air Max Day 21'' highlight on Instagram. This was huge me since I didn't get a chance to really participate in anything last year. That gift allowed me to get creative and see what I could cook up on the spot. It also was pretty fun because each drawer had it's own combination to open it along with some Air Max trivia.
But, when AMD came itself I actually had no content prepared and I linked up with Malissa early that morning to take the shots that you're seeing in this blog post!
I am so glad that I woke up early that morning to get these images in because wow they performed really well. I ended up getting featured on several blogs and platforms thanks to these Air Max Viva that I copped. I feel like these images served as some great on-foot shots for a lot of people and I think I've converted a few people into fans of this new silhouette.
I was even featured on the airmaxdayworldwide.com website during Air Max Day on the Chicago tab. It literally was an amazing day and I'm just grateful to be in the space that I am in. I do not take any of this for granted. If you want a closer look at the box and the sneakers from Air Max Day, be sure to check out my latest YouTube video!
Air Max Day 2021 was one for the books. Let's keep this energy all 2021 guys.
