To celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Air Max 90, The Whitaker Grp (@thewhitakergrp) has teamed up with PEL of PELNYC (@pelnyc) to host an art collective that takes you on a 25 year journey. Commemorating the last two and a half decades, he highlights pop culture, entertainment, trends and events of important historical record. Using the Air Max 90 silhouette as the constant variable, the series reminds you that this beloved shoe has been on foot through many major events. For the next few weeks will be highlighting a new piece everyday.
Today, we are featuring, "Miracle on the Hudson": In January 2009, 155 passengers and crew were successfully evacuated from the partially submerged air craft before it sank after captain Sully heroically made an emergency water landing in the NYC Hudson River.
