This sneaker-inspired historical exhibit honors the 20th anniversary of Nike's Air Max 95 model. The monumental shoe -- designed in 1995 -- has been recreated and remodeled numerous times over the past 20 years.
To honor the historical lifespan of the shoe, a massive exhibit titled 'Entitled STUDIO 95' welcomes guests to explore the rich history of the Air Max 95. The exhibit has multiple displays such as Sergio Lozano’s original mock-up of the shoe. There are also various models of the shoe displayed in snow globe-like casings that present the idea of historical preservation.
The exhibit opening marks the release of an "app that guides fans on a treasure hunt through the town’s sneaker shops in search of a Digital Air Max 95 and other Swoosh prizes."
