Presenting… the Nike Air Max timeline. Nike created a few retrospective pieces to coincide with the recent release of the Nike Air Max Zero along with Air Max Day 2015. To honor Air Max Day in 2015, Paris-based artist Yué Wu created an animated video highlighting 33 different Air Max models.

Sneakershot and Nike Sportswear Russia also created a retrospective Nike Air Max Timeline that features photographs of 32 unique Air Max silhouettes. The photo series below is one of the most complete looks at the history of the Nike Air Max. Check out the iconic sneakers below in the Nike Air Max timeline:
