The Air Max 97 Legacy in NYC

By 1997, the underground movements of the early '90s had fully integrated into #newyork City’s cultural fabric, showing influence everywhere from westside clubs to downtown photo studios, and setting the stage for future generations of expression in #fashion, art, hip-hop and club music.

"There was a lot of change happening with the internet, photoshop and things like that," notes Scott Osman, organizer of the NASA parties that crystallized NYC's rave culture. “Everyone was thinking ahead.”

While the scene might have matured by ’97, it was still very much alive with crowds flocking to venues of all sizes to hear iconic DJs spin new sounds.
