2015's ongoing celebration of the Nike Air Max 90, which has been around for 25 years now, continues in the form of this illustration series by artist PELNYC.

The series, which will feature 25 entries in total, seeks to recap the past 25 years by spinning the shoe into cultural moments, as in the Bart Simpson version shown above or the Michael Jackson one shown below. As it's such an iconic shoe the Nike Air Max 90 has been the subject of plenty prior art pieces, but rarely has the shoe been given this sort of attention in a full series.

The Nike Air Max 90 "We Were There" project from PELNYC will culminate in a week-long exhibit in NYC and a corresponding book release – more info on that here.
