Each year on the 26th March sneaker heads all over the world celebrate the iconic Air Max. Nike celebrates years of Air Max innovation with a bunch of new sneaker releases and the sneaker community snaps them up in their droves, usually without a second’s consideration of how this kind of fast, consumerist behaviour is impacting the planet. Fast Fashion has a major negative impact on our environment. Around 350,000 tonnes of used clothing including shoes goes to landfill in the UK each year. The fashion industry is very good at creating a sense of urgency and need around the products they design. Good for the bottom line, not so good for the environment.

It lives across social channels on YouTube, Instagram, Snap and Facebook and creates entertaining and informative content around the passions of its young audience, inspiring behaviour and attitude change around sustainable living.
Insight
While the sneaker industry is by no means solely
responsible for the ills of Fast Fashion, we knew the
sneaker fan community was very active on social
media. If anyone could get a sustainable fashion
message out there, it was them! There is an ever
growing segment of the industry that wants to do
what they do, more consciously.
The idea
What if we could celebrate Air Max Day a little bit
differently? What if we could hijack sneaker heads
passion and harness it to make our audience think
about their purchase behaviour and also help
those in need along the way?
SpAir Max Day was born.
Mutha teamed up with renowned sneakerhead Kish
Kash to launch a sneaker campaign with a twist.
First we did a shout out, via Kish’s radio show, his
instagram and across the Mutha channel.
Kish then rallied the sneaker community to get
behind the cause – frantically charging around
London to collect as many donated pairs of spare,
Air Max he could. Famous donors included Franklin
AKA King of Trainers, Annie Mac and Clara Amfo.
The idea was to upcycle the sneakers and we got
sneaker cleaning company Jason Markk on board
to help us clean them up.
We then opened a SpAir Max pop-up shop in the
heart of sneaker land, Neal Street and opened on
Air Max Day, promoting it on social media and
encouraging famous influencers as well as the
general public to drop off their spare Air Max.
The final step was to get all the pairs of donated spAir
Max on the feet of those that need them the most.
We delivered the whole lot to Brixton Soup Kitchen.
The results
Mutha wanted to show its audience across its social
channels that upcycling and donating used clothing
and shoes will not only have a good impact on the
environment but can help people in our community
in need. And boy did the sneaker community come
together, donating hundreds of pairs of trainers for
the cause and getting behind it on social media.
The campaign had zero media budget but achieved
half a million video views on the Mutha channel.
The combined reach of Mutha content and sneaker
influencers was over 2 million.
More importantly we showed how communities can
come together to do good and help promote behaviour
change when it comes to the environment and those
around us.
