A quarter-century later, the shoe has been seen in many different designs and still holds mass popularity. If anything, they are now a sub-culture and seen on fashionable feet world wide. Illustrator Björn von Schulz paid tribute to the shoe by rounding up his favourite Air Max shoes of all-time and illustrating them on a plain-white canvas. The minimal poster displays fifty Air Max 1s, but there has definitely been many more on the market over the past 25 years. Björn's subjective picks are a cross-selection of colors. He includes everything from a plain, all-gray [Air Maxs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiempo-sneaker) to neon-yellow ones. The collection of air-pocketed shoes also have the year of make underneath each shoe. The kickin' poster is now available on [Egotrips](http://store.egotrips.de/product/poster-need-more). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 44% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Sneaker Collecting:** Capitalizing on the popularity of limited edition sneakers by creating exclusive collaborations with artists and designers. - **Sneaker Customization:** Offering customizable options for sneakers, allowing customers to personalize their own unique designs. - **Sneaker Nostalgia:** Recreating classic sneaker designs from the past, tapping into consumer nostalgia for retro styles. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Retail:** Creating a platform for sneaker enthusiasts to buy and sell limited edition sneakers and collaborations. - **Art and Design:** Partnering with artists and designers to create unique sneaker designs that cater to individual customers' tastes. - **Graphic Design and Illustration:** Offering illustration and design services to create custom artwork and posters for sneaker brands and collectors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Men's Mesh Running Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flamelike-caging-design.md) - [Iconic Sneaker Anniversaries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-air-max-day-1.md) - [Sneaker Culture Radio Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-air-max-day-2023.md) - [Gradient Tonal Limited Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lorenzog-2.md) - [Retro Brightly Accented Runners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-craze.md) - [Vintage-Inspired Summer Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-muse-2.md) - [Comfort-Inspired Men's Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-released-air-max-dns.md) - [Sneaker-Inspired Card Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-1-card-holder.md) - [3D-Printed Sports Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-air-max-1000.md)
