Overkill's first lady, a well-known sneaker collector, starts the Overkill History Countdown with one of the most famous and coveted silhouettes in the sneaker scene, the AIR MAX 1. Here is the very personal Air Max story of Amelie von Wunderbar, enjoy reading!"A legend, the shoe that changed the sneaker world, my passion, my first great love, since 2003, with the purchase of my first Air Max 1, at the age of 16, the wmns SC Sport royal, my hunt began, the hunt for what is now probably the most famous & sought-after silhouette. The shoe that made history on 26.03.2014. My love for the Air Max started at school. Everyone was crazy about Buffallos, but I couldn't get anything out of this "fad". I wanted a sporty shoe, a shoe that was more than just a fashion piece, a timeless, stylish running shoe.My father was often on business trips to New York at the time, and always brought me back some of the hottest running shoes of the time. As a passionate runner, he wore the Air Max 1 himself, which ignited my love for the living legend and the fire has not gone out to this day. 10 years ago I started collecting shoes and I can still say that the Air Max 1 is my absolute favorite model. I was crazy about the different upper prints & colorways and at the same time thrilled by the comfort and exclusivity of some models. Missing a release? Over the years, I have developed an indescribable passion for the shoe and the history associated with it. To this day, I wear a different Air Max 1 on my foot almost every day. My motto: Don't stock it. Rock it! Whether you're a sneaker collector, fashion lover or sports enthusiast - the Air Max 1 has become an indispensable part of your wardrobe. A sneaker that has become socially acceptable, looks just as good on women's feet as it does on men's & is still functional."
