In celebration of Nike’s annual Air Max Day, the brand has erected a pop-up space in Los Angeles they dubbed the “DEPARTMENT OF UNIMAGINABLE”.
Inside, various renditions of the iconic Nike Air Max silhouette are on display, with shoes from the beginning of the Air Max lineage all the way up to present day shown in chronological order, as well as other Air Max visuals to enjoy and learn about the model’s rich history.
For Nike fans lucky enough to visit the space, they can also participate in ON AIR workshops led by Nike designers and collaborators. These workshops feature design-focused curriculum that covers Industrial Design, Color Design & Materials Exploration and Illustration & Typography. Each experiences is highly visual, with a mix of lecture style learning and hands on doing, focused on design principles and creative thinking.
In addition to Los Angeles, these DEPARTMENT OF UNIMAGINABLE spaces are also open in Toronto, Chicago and New York City.
