Okay. What is going on, people? I'm AZ and this is Sneakers on the Ground. Yes, yes, I am Will Stowe. We are here at three, five, three, seven. How do you say it? No, no, trente-cinq, trente-sept. There you go. My French, is awful.

Today we are going to be celebrating Air Max One, Air Max in general as well. It is going to be a great time. We have got a lot of food going on, we have got a bar, some arcade games, we have got some music and we are going to be speaking to the community in attendance. What the future of Air Max is. We are going to have some fun!

Can you tell us a little bit more about what is going on? Yeah, we are customising the Nike Air Max 86. The purpose of the workshop is to customise in 3D, all the different aspects of the shoe.
So then you designed it like this?
 - Yeah. 
 - And then you rendered it what it will look like after. Do you normally design things? 

 -No, no. This was the first time. 
 - Well, it looks pretty good. 
 - Yeah. 
 - Wow, okay, satin! 
 - Yeah, it’s kind of satin and then sapphire.
 - Yeah, this would be an expensive shoe. We need to get this one made.

Jean-Christophe has told me how to make a bubble.
Sugar for finish.
Bon appétit!
Waw

The story of the Air Max One is all about failure. 

So you are an Olympian. What was it like, you know, maybe the first time you took a loss? And how did you bounce back? When you fall at the Olympics, for example, it is really difficult because you are preparing this during for four years. 

So, yeah, you have to wait, I mean, only time can heal these things. But to bounce back, you have to train again and to always look forward. I am with Junior right now, he is a producer. I'm going to catch you. I need to be on a beat.

Yeah, you are rapping? I can rap for you. Not now but we can do that. 
How did you find out about today's event? From my mom! Big up to your mom she is the OG! Yeah, big up to my mom!

How do you find the exhibition. Have you seen anything you like? Yeah, I like the shoes, the design of shoes, everything. How does it feel to be in the city that inspired the Air Max One? Good, good to know that it's back to the origins, you know? Knowing the history.

Even if someone is passionate about shoes, like you never know everything about the shoes that are going to be released. It's good to get educated as well. Like I wasn't born in the eighties, so for me to actually get to know the whole process behind it, is pretty cool. I am putting the headphones now.

Ok this is different. Is this a game? Is this just like a video? What is it? That is the idea! Confusion. Yes, when I created it I wanted people to be a little bit confused, is it real life shooting or not.

You succeeded! Thank you
Can I get one?
She is trying to get all the freebees!
You got me!
Hello, I am Carl. 
- Carl?
-Yes
-What would you like to see? 

What is the future of Air Max for you? To be honest, I really always loved the city collaborations, so I would love to see another Berlin/Air Max. That's where I'm from. Yeah. That would be sick.

It has been a great day but it is not over. This is SNKRS on the Ground in Paris for Air Max Day 2023. See you soon! Let’s go!
