“MY AIR MAX DESIGN IS THE SNEAKER OF MY CHILDHOOD.”

The Foundations

Léon’s Air Max 90 is an homage to his roots and his rhythm. It's about finding wonder in the simple things. Clean, understated palettes reflect his relentless discipline, while unexpected pops of colour rep his home in France. Designed with the precision he brings to the water, and the tempo he finds in the studio.
