The year is 1998… DMX is killing the streets with The Ruff Riders Anthem, N.O.R.E is “Keeping it Thugging” with Super Thug and for the ladies Lauren Hill is setting the charts a blaze with DOO WOP… Not to mention The Spice Girls breaking up lol.

But all of that didn’t matter in the footwear world because a legend was born in the form of a Nike Shoe exclusively sold at Footlocker stores which literally changed the game. It sat on a new, never before seen air bubble and came in a crazy hyper blue colourway and with a price tag of £110, it was the pinnacle of Nikes at that time. The Top of the Top! In steps the Nike Air Max Plus, AKA the TN.

The shoe began to take the streets by storm, especially in London and Europe, as more of a statement shoe because of the price being so high and the people who were first seen with them on feet were known as the trend setters wearing £500 Avirex leather jackets alongside their Nokia 6210’s, and their tracksuits…

So, the year is now 2018, 20 years later and the TN is still “THAT SHOE” that has stood the test of time so we have to celebrate it this year and wish the TN a very Happy 20th Birthday starting with a pop up exhibition on Monday 26th March 2018 Airmax Day, at 48 Penton Street, Kings Cross London N1 9QA.

Tuned Love. The Beginning. We will celebrate this icon of a shoe with an open exhibition where we will be inviting YOU the community to bring down your pairs of TN’s and will invite you to display on special plinths inside the exhibition space. We also ask you to email any old skool pics of you rocking your TNs, some of which will be used during the series of celebratory exhibitions this year. Please email photos to hello@tunedlove.com

So, get those TNs on foot, dust off your Avirex Jackets, throw on your tracksuits and let’s appreciate the Nike TN’s place in footwear history.

We have also called some OG’s in the game and they are donating a few pairs from their collections for our celebration.

On this historic year please don’t miss this historic celebration of the Nike Air Max Plus, the TN.
