At Footpatrol, March 26th is a day that’s etched within the sneaker calendar. A celebration of all things Nike Air Max, this years story was focussed on its true beginnings. The Beginnings that failed and ultimately led to the success of the Air Max 1.

This led us to think of the Big Bubble and the Air captured within the Air Unit. This led us down the road of Big Manny. An influential content creator, Big Manny holds a masters in bio medical science and his content has become an inspiration to his followers and the younger generation.

To celebrate, we launched ‘Lab 86‘. A one night event that celebrated science and air. Taking us through experiments, those lucky attendees got a first hand look at how to create fun and engaging formulas that all tied back to the AM86 and its ‘Big Bubble’.

Take a closer look at the evening below and look out for the Nike Air Max 86 Launching in-store and online on Sunday 26th March.
