MAXIMUM AIR: BUILT ON SOLE

MAXIMUM AIR: An air max day Celebration Returns

The energy was undeniable.
The sneakers were legendary.
The community showed up.

And now… MAXIMUM AIR returns.

After an incredible inaugural experience, DUPP&SWAT and KICKS&FROS are bringing back MAXIMUM AIR — a bold celebration of sneaker culture, creativity, and community. What started as a gathering of sneaker enthusiasts quickly evolved into something bigger: a cultural moment where style, storytelling, and connection lived under one roof.

In 2027, we’re building on that momentum.

Same name.
Same culture.
Elevated experience.
