Air Max Party

I was invited to go to the nike air max party on Tuesday night. It was pretty exciting how they named cocktails after the air max series (airmax1, 95,180 etc). The event was sponsored by nike and Vodka 42 below. Mike from Nike was there lol how funny is that..his name actually rhymes with his job. Anyway it was really cool because Mike gave us a history lesson of how the airmax came about. I found out that in 1987 Tinker Hatfield the mastermind behind the Jordan IIIz was walking in Paris, when suddenly he came accros this strange looking structured building with these round looking air pipes rizing from the ground. Suddenly the talented shoe designer (Architect by profession) realised that in order to make the lightest running shoe he needs to use the lightest substance known to man 'AIR'. So he designed an air socket to fit in to the sole. That's how the Airmax 1 came in to life. Also Big Leon from Qubic store did a speech about how much of a nike airmax fan he is. Hahaha he's a shoe freak all together i think, so am i so i can't really say anything bout that :D.. He showed us a pair of Exclusive Safari airmax 1z..soooo nice people!!hehe
He also spoke about his recent visit to L.a and his tour around the Nike factory..he was fortunate enough to meet Tinker actually (lucky guy man). Funny enough Leon was also wearing a pair of airmax 90 infraredz hehe.
The best bit was when Mike had this little competition planned out for us. He asked us to go into teams of four, gave us a white air max 90, paint and brushes and told us to paint it with a little inspiration of what Mike spoke about. The winners all gt a free pair of shoes. Lol Instantly me and my other friends Sam Wild and Aja formed a team and actually ended up winning it. So now I'm waiting on my shoes to arrive :D
