Celebrating Air Max Day: The Top 10 Nike Air Max's You Need To Know
Just like national holidays, people often have personal anniversaries they hold dear, whether it's half-birthdays or Pi Day, for sneakerheads, that special occasion is Nike Air Max Day. Celebrated annually on March 26, Air Max Day was established in 2014 to honor the debut of Nike's revolutionary Air Max technology. The Air Max legacy, however, began long before the holiday. In 1987, designer Tinker Hatfield introduced the Air Max 1, the first shoe to feature Nike's signature visible Air cushioning. What made the Air Max series stand out was its 'window to the sole' — a design choice inspired by Hatfield's visit to the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris. The building's exposed structural elements inspired the idea to showcase the inner workings of the shoe, turning its innovative technology into a notorious feature that would be complete the making of the Air Max. The Air Max is one of the most celebrated shoes, known for its meticulously crafted design from top to bottom. From the sleek, low-cut silhouettes to the inventive colorways that mix materials and sheens, every detail is thoughtfully considered. With a never-ending amount of models in the Air Max series, including fan favorites like the Air Max 97 and Air Max 360, we've compiled a list of the 10 best Air Maxes to celebrate 10 years of Nike Air Max Day. Nike Airmax, DN8 Air Max sneakers aren't going anywhere anytime soon. The latest iteration arrives in a deep ruby red and black colorway, accented with embossed slashes along the sides. The air pockets take center stage as the focal point of the design, while a sharp, almost shark-nose-shaped toe adds a well-rounded finish. Corteiz x Air Max 95 SP 'Rules the World - Sequoia' These sneakers are as good as it gets for a go-to shoe, with a resale price of $1,150 proving their worth. The Air Max 95 Corteiz comes in a Khaki Green colorway, featuring a breathable, lightweight mesh upper. And the yellow accents on the Swoosh near the heel and star-like graphics on the toe cap add contrast. Staying true to the Air Max legacy, the sneakers also have a window in the sole, revealing a jelly-like, muddled green bubble at the tip, emphasizing the Air cushioning detail. Nike Silver Air Max Plus TNPO Sneakers The Silver Air Max Plus TNPO Sneakers stand out as one of the most subversive designs in the Air Max lineup. An oversized foldover tongue, an extended Nike Swoosh that wraps around the sidewall, and visible Nike Air units on the bottom all complete the TNPO model. The Air units provide support and cushioning and look as if they are set on a platform — a look that nods to a 1994 football boot. While it draws inspiration from the past, its muted silver metallic finish and polished rubber toe propel the design into the future. Nike Air Max Plus Shoes are known to evoke a wide range of sensory experiences and emotions, and these definitely do just that. For some, they may spark feelings of fear or dread, while for others with a shoe kink, they might bring out a more sensual side. Featuring a gradient colorway that shifts between tiger stripes and thinned-out waves, this design clearly takes inspiration from nature. The mesh outer layer enhances the lightweight, summer vibe, making these shoes the perfect combination of style and comfort. Air Max 97 Silver Bullet It would be remiss to compile a "best of the best" list of Air Max sneakers without mentioning the 97s. With their classic silhouette and rippled mesh that wraps around the entire shoe, these sneakers have undeniably earned their place in the hall of fame of any sneaker brand, particularly in larger cities. The metallic colorways are especially iconic, featuring a range of silver and gold gradients. Choosing your preferred pair is as simple as selecting a favorite pair of earrings — whether you're a gold or silver person. Nike Air Max Correlate Dare I say, these might just be as classic as the Dunk? Chances are, you've spotted them—these sneakers have become synonymous with '90s nostalgia, and some version of them have probably made their walk-on appearance in any 90s sitcom or movie. With a multi-textured upper and Max Air unit, Its soft foam midsole and breathable upper make these the perfect everyday shoe for those looking for a pop of color. Nike Air Max 97 Off-White Elemental Rose Serena Queen When two champions in their own right—design maverick Virgil Abloh and Olympic gold medalist Serena Williams—combine the worlds of performance and design, the result is the "Queen" Collection. The Off-White x Nike Air Max 97 celebrates the 50th U.S. Open, featuring a stunning color gradient that transitions from soft blush pink tones to an electrifying purple. The design is completed with Virgil's iconic quote signatures, including the bold "Air" facetype directly on the side of the shoe. These shoes are so highly coveted and valuable that Sotheby's hosted an auction to sell them. he Nike x Travis Scott Air Max 270 'Cactus Trails' Everyone remembers the hoopla surrounding these shoes — and then, just as quickly, they disappeared. But not into the abyss of irrelevance. They sold out so fast that they're rarely found on the resale market. The Cactus Trails, inspired by Travis Scott's Texan upbringing, feature a colorway that echoes the hues of a Sub-Saharan desert landscape. Nike Air VaporMax Plus Drawing inspiration from the 1998 Air Max Plus, with its floating cage, padded upper, and heel logo, this design combines mixed materials for a modern twist. The sleek all-black upper, paired with black rubber pods on the outsole, embodies the sultry and timeless appeal of a black shoe versatile enough to be worn anywhere. Nike Air Max Muse These shoes may not be for you if you have trypophobia, but if sustainability, a lightweight feel, and flex comfort are your priorities, they're perfect. The modern, youthful take on the bulky dad shoe silhouette might make you rethink those large bubbles on the side.

2024-25 High School Confidential: Week 23
Mar. 27—Welcome to Year 9 of High School Confidential, powered by Danville Area Community College. It's an award-winning project made possible by aspiring student journalists from every corner of our circulation area. Each Thursday through April, they'll tell us what's happening in their hallways at . At least once a week, we'll also hand over our Snapchat account (News-Gazette) to our correspondents for behind-the-scenes tours. Feedback? Email N-G/VP Jim Rossow at . On to this week's report, shortened as many high school are on spring break: The Lincoln Prairie Conference Honor Band performed a concert on March 20 at Cumberland High School. ALAH had the honor to send five seniors to participate in the event: (left to right) band director Ethyan DeLaughter and seniors Dylan Price, Matthew Miller, Arik Stutzman, Gabe Jacobs and Alek Stutzman. The Cerro Gordo/Bement Broncos baseball team won two games in the first week of the season: 13-3 against Meridian and 9-6 against St. Teresa. Pictured: seniors Brody Somers and Brayden Strack. On March 14 — also known as Pi Day (3/14) — students between Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2 and Precalculus celebrated. Teacher James Vogel brought in different types of miniature pies to enjoy while they worked, including apple, lemon and chocolate. Other students brought in their favorite circle desserts including oatmeal cream pies, apple pies and a chocolate nutella pie. Vogel printed \different color pages and activities they could work on. Students each got five slips of different colored paper, each color representing a different number. Those slips of paper all became a chain that circled his room. Four years ago students started to work on it starting from one corner of the room to the other. It has finally touched each side of the room completing the first 1,675 digits of Pi. To cap off the last day before spring break: the annual Farmers vs Cropdusters basketball game for boys who don't play on the school's team. It makes for quite an entertaining game, but you would be surprised by the athleticness of some of the players. The teams stayed neck in neck the whole time making for a tense game, but Briar Clark finished it with a game-winning three in the last 10 seconds. The ACES team competed in sectionals at Eastern Illinois the week before spring break, ranking 11th out of 26 schools in its division. Individually, Silas Shirley ranked fifth and Jackson Forest sixth in computer science; Weston Baird was fourth and Owen Clark fifth in engineering graphics; and Spencer Ray was sixth and Ruby Fraser-Soule first in physics. Fraser-Soule will be moving on to th state Competition at EIU in April. Band went on a trip to New Orleans over spring break to perform and enjoy different tours, including the chance to hold alligators. To wrap up the basketball season, local radio station WGCY hosted an all-star game for area boys and girls. Also honored: Mike Allen for his commitment to being a two-time state champion coach and being a founding father of the Heart of Illinois Conference. Over spring break, the softball team opened the season with a 12-2 win against St. Anne and a loss to Clifton Central. Players along with head coach Chelsea Ziegler and assistant coaches Erin Henk and Andy Atchie look forward to upcoming games and what the season will bring. Pictured courtesy Ginger Gonzalez, left to right: (back row) Henk, Mollie Anderson, Madison Barnes, Macy Warner, Melina Vogel, Kennedy Wallace, Kinzley Bailey, Ziegler and team manager Shay Layden; (front row) Peyton Irons, Dakota Resendez and Addyson Kelnhofer. Two students received incredible leadership opportunities last week. Sophomore Peyton Ford will be representing LeRoy and Corn Belt Energy in Washington, D.C., this summer. Ford went through a competitive interview process at Youth Day in Springfield to receive the honor. Ford will join other students from across the nation on the weeklong trip where she will explore historical landmarks, meet legislators and learn about the role of electric cooperatives. Sophomore Annie Conn was selected to represent Section 15 on the IHSA Student Advisory Committee (SAC). SAC gives high school students across Illinois the opportunity to represent their communities. They use their voice to communicate between students and administrators. The SAC provides various leadership opportunities. Conn is an excellent leader at LeRoy. She participates in multiple sports as well as music, which gives her the ability to represent the vast majority of students at LeRoy. Conn went through multiple interviews to achieve this honor. Last Thursday, National Honor Society inducted new members for the 2025-26 group. NHS does a number of good things for the school, such as blood drives, a senior citizens banquet, Character Counts Week and more. NHS President Jossalin Lavicka explained how hard it is to get into NHS, as candidates need to display character, education and be a good person. Pictured: Jossalin Lavicka lighting the candle to start the induction ceremony; Kara Harwood lighting her candle to show that she will follow the four pillard: Service, Leadership, Scholarship and Character. Picture 3; NHS members (left to right, back to front) Harwood, Molly Coffey, Brycea Brown, Sesilia Salinas-Sandness, Braydon Kissack, Kaleb Kuester, Aiden Frerichs, Caleb Clutteur, David Bell, Erica Felton, Kamryn Muehling, Madisyn Laffoon, Ollie Beaty, Jason Moore, Sophie Newman, Lillie Harris, London Clark, Lavicka, Cabery Brown, Zachary Moore and Gage Vogel. Social science club students participated in a movie night, using funds raised by the members of the club during junior high concessions. The students watched "The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind" and ate Dominos pizza Thursday. The social science club hosts movie nights like this every few months, giving students the chance to mingle and relax while watching historically significant movies. Pictured (left to right) via Kevin Fleckenstein: Caden Logan, Amaya Duzan, Hailie Hall, Carleigh Clifton and Alexis Burch. Student council participated in the district convention at the i Hotel and Illinois Conference Center, where they heard motivating leadership speeches. At the event, Katie Ericksen and Nate Farney were acknowledged for their exceptional efforts and earned roles as liaison and secretary. Thirteen students attended two energizing and educational live shows put on by Hispanic Flamenco Ballet in Decatur Civic Center on March 14, the last day before spring break. Featuring dances, music and traditional costumes from various countries in Spain and Latin America, students were entertained and even invited on stage for interactive dance lessons. A delicious Mexican lunch at Fernando's in Champaign was enjoyed by all as two Spanish 1 students celebrated their birthdays. With spring approaching, students in kindergarten classes taught by Lauren Moses and Erica Kohlmeyer have been learning about rainbows and clouds. The formation of rainbows was taught by allowing the children to use Fruit Loops and build their own with the colors in order. Weather is discussed every morning in the classroom, which helps students understand how to dress for the day and what each type of weather will look like. To celebrate the first day of spring, the class took its annual field trip to the Tuscola Dairy Queen for free cone day. Classroom aides Brooke Morris and Kylie Mixson also attended the fun trip (Morris, Kohlmeyer, Moses and, right, Mixson). The tradition serves a memorable day for all students and a great way to kick off the season. PIctured: Ryleigh Spencer, Connor Smith, Kobe Bruce, Gemma-Lou Atchinson (left) and Wesley Hayes, and Fallon Gooden. The spring musical "Mamma Mia" was a hit with multiple sold-out shows, the audience full of laughter and even shedding tears. Seniors Ava Rauguth, Rylie Vanausdoll, Andrew Spillman, Karson Jeffers, Mya Picazo, Jocelyn Ford, Andrew Bennett, Keller Beachy, Kade Wilcox, Sawyer Woodard, Zack Rennels and Aiden Devlin all took their final bows last week. Their hard work and dedication will not go unnoticed as it is an important highlight of the school's drama program. For senior Brock Schlittler, playing the national anthem on bass guitar in front of a crowd once seemed like an impossible challenge. In his food class, students were given a goal-setting assignment, and his goal was to perform at a sporting event. He submitted the paper and forgot about it. But weeks later, the choir teacher extended an opportunity to play at a football game. Initially hesitant, he decided to embrace the challenge and performed on Senior Night against Monticello. Brock's mother, Heather, suggested he submit a video audition to the Illinois High School Association for a chance to perform at a larger event. He recorded his audition in his backyard and sent it in. To gain more experience, he played the anthem at two home wrestling meets and two boys' basketball games, preparing for a potential state-level performance. IHSA officials were impressed with his submission, and soon, Schlittler received an invitation to perform at the state wrestling tournament at State Farm Center. The performance went well, and the IHSA invited him back to play the anthem at the IHSA boys' basketball state tournament. Before his big performance, he arrived early to rehearse, took a moment to pray with his family, and then delivered a flawless performance in front of a packed stadium. Beyond his solo performances, he plays bass guitar in the country music band Owen Knap and the Rusty Strings, which frequently performs in the Champaign-Urbana area. Last Tuesday, Villa Grove's Special Olympics athletes and coaches began practice. Athletes from elementary school through high school showed excitement for the big day. Practice is a great way for the athletes to bond with their coaches — an amazing experience overall. Ahoy there mateys! Watseka's swashbuckling spring play was performed last weekend. Erik Parmenter and his scurvy crew of actors performed "An Act of Piracy" to the delight of classmates, family and friends alike.

Researchers Rush to Save US Government Data on Trans Youth—Before It Disappears
Mar 21, 2025 5:30 AM In the face of the Trump administration's anti-trans efforts, researchers and volunteers around the world are backing up federally-funded studies, and vowing to keep the resources online. On a Friday afternoon in mid-March, a bunch of (presumably) non-hackers showed up to participate in a new kind of 'hackathon.' It was Pi Day, so pie was served, but the mood wasn't celebratory. Students, researchers, and members of the wider public health community were there, in a lecture hall at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and on Zoom, to rescue data. Whatever they could. According to the flier for the Preserving Public Health Data Hackathon, the current Trump administration was trying to undermine research on everything from climate change to systemic racism, and saving data from government websites meant it would be archived and republished in the event federal agencies tried to remove it. The antiauthoritarian theme came up often: don't obey in advance. Everyone in the room and on the Zoom got a crash course in identifying at-risk information, collecting it, and storing it once they did. Backing up certain pieces seemed critical. For those who work in public health, protecting research pertaining to gender identity and diversity issues has been a focus since the inauguration. Last year, then-candidate Trump repeated a lot of anti-trans rhetoric on the campaign trail, and in the first weeks of his presidency signed executive orders essentially barring transgender people from serving in the military, proclaiming that the US government would only recognize 'two genders, male and female,' threatening to withhold federal funds in what is an attempt to bar trans women from sports, and attempting to block gender-affirming care for people under the age of 19. Since Trump's inauguration, hundreds of words—from 'transgender' to 'Latinx' to 'accessible'—have been removed from federal agencies' websites. In early February, thousands of websites went missing as agencies raced to comply with the executive orders. In recent weeks, the targeting of gender-related material has become even starker, after Trump told a joint session of Congress that the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had uncovered that the federal government had spent $8 million on 'making mice transgender' (it hasn't), and the Department of Defense performed a purge of 'DEI' materials that included flagging, but ultimately not removing, images of the Enola Gay. One particular dataset, the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (commonly shortened to YRBS), seems particularly at-risk, notes Ariel Beccia, an epidemiologist at the Chan School's LGBTQ Health Center of Excellence. The YRBS, which tracks scores of health-related issues in young people, is one of the only nationally representative surveys that regularly collects data on transgender kids. Beccia and other public health researchers fear the information in the YRBS may not be available forever. And even if the YRBS can be backed up, the integrity of its data can't be completely protected from the influence of the new administration. President Trump's recent moves have also left some in public service afraid to participate in new research, like this year's survey. 'Because of this 'comply in advance' strategy, school boards are hesitant to participate in the YRBS,' Beccia told attendees at the hackathon. Beccia would know. Her research focuses on race and ethnicity as well as LGBTQ+ young people. She's recently been looking into LGTBQ+ inequities in eating disorders. Her work relies on YRBS data. Now that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which hosts the survey's results, has reportedly stopped processing data on trans Americans, and fewer schools are participating, the data Beccia uses, even if it stays online, will be incomplete. When asked about this, CDC spokesperson Melissa Dibble confirmed that, in compliance with Trump's executive orders, 'the transgender identity question was removed from the national Youth Risk Behavior Survey,' but no other changes were made. Dibble added that the change shouldn't delay the survey's results. It's created a 'double whammy' situation, Beccia says, where government employees are trying to comply with Trump's executive orders and school districts are afraid to participate in any study related to gender or LGBTQ+ health, even if it is data that in turn guides how they run their schools. 'We are living through a pretty scary time with the administration,' Beccia tells me a few days after the event. 'This is obviously impacting the mental health of everyone in the country, especially queer and trans people and queer and trans youth, and we're not going to have data on this.' The YRBS is just one of many datasets researchers have sought to shore up in a long-running effort to preserve government-funded information as the new administration takes control. The University of Washington Information School held 'Data Rescue' events in January aimed at collecting climate crisis information. The Environmental Data and Governance Initiative (EDGI), a network of research professionals that launched a tool during Trump's first term to track changes to environmental information on federal websites, relaunched that tracker at the beginning of March. The Data Rescue Project, a consortium of data-rescue organizations, lists dozens of ways people can get involved if they want to help collect. A group of archivists has recreated the pre-Inauguration Day version of the CDC website and is now hosting it in Europe at Other organizations are also looking to back up the YRBS, too. On January 30, soon after Trump signed the first of his executive orders aimed at trans Americans, Libby Hemphill, director of the Resource Center for Minority Data at The Inter-University Consortium of Political and Social Research (ICPSR), started getting calls. Word had gotten out that the CDC might be scrubbing data, including the YRBS, and people wanted to know how to stop it. Hemphill gathered some colleagues and started scraping it. Then there were requests for data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), from the Department of Education, from the National Institutes of Health. Much like the data-preservation effort at the Chan School, Hemphill and her team coordinated ways for people to submit data they wanted to preserve and ways for researchers to collect it and store it. The ICPSR runs a repository known as DataLumos, where a lot of the preservation efforts are backing up their collections. When I ask Hemphill if she's worried about the safety of the information in the DataLumos archive, she says 'it's absolutely something that we think about,' adding, 'I can assure you that ICPSR has a non-US physical, non-US regulatory plan for data preservation.' If you think this sounds familiar, you're not wrong. When Trump assumed the presidency in 2017, scientists, archivists, and librarians at the University of Pennsylvania raced to save data published by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and NOAA. Another group in Michigan, also fearing the EPA and NOAA websites would lose valuable information, made a similar move. Websites were backed up to the Internet Archive; large datasets were 'bagged' for safe keeping. At the time, the researchers weren't sure the incoming administration would seek to erase any info. It was more like a hunch, one that proved prescient when, then being led by Trump appointee and agency administrator Scott Pruitt, the EPA began removing climate change information from its website in April 2017, 'to reflect the approach of new leadership.' Between 2017 and 2021, more than 1,400 pages related to climate change on government web sites were altered or made less accessible, according to data compiled by the EDGI. That, notes Gretchen Gehrke, who leads EDGI's website monitoring program, is not 'a comprehensive list of changes,' since some alterations—like removing 'Climate Change' from the navigation page of get counted once but affect several other pages. 'I think there is a lot more awareness about the precarity of federal information after having experienced the first Trump administration,' Gehrke says. 'Watching the Trump campaign become truly obsessed with trans people, and knowing the Trump administration's history of information suppression, people were and are rightly concerned that that information is at risk.' Which is why Beccia is concerned. Datasets like those in the YRBS are few and far between and losing it could be disastrous to those wanting to know about the health and well-being of trans youth in America. Although the YRBS is currently live on the CDC's website, it did briefly disappear, along with data on the Food and Drug Administration and Department of Health and Human Services web sites, earlier this year following an order from the Office of Personnel Management that it be scrubbed to comply with Trump's executive orders. The information returned in mid-February when US District Judge John Bates, responding to a lawsuit from Doctors for America, granted a temporary restraining order and the site was reinstated. A disclaimer at the top of the YRBS page now says 'any information on this page promoting gender ideology is extremely inaccurate,' adding 'this page does not reflect biological reality and therefore the administration and this department rejects it.' Tazlina Mannix worked for the YRBS program in Alaska from 2015 until 2023, both as survey coordinator and data manager. She notes that even if the CDC keeps the data online, disclaimers like the one on the site now make it harder for researchers to do their work. Collecting public health data relies on relationships with people in health departments and school districts. Giving those people any reason to hesitate can 'set you back to zero,' she says. 'When I first saw [that disclaimer], I was so horrified. The language is so extreme, and it's also just wrong.'

West Haven and University of New Haven partner to offer higher education opportunities to first responders, local students
WEST HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) — A new partnership between the City of West Haven and the University of New Haven will give first responders and local high school graduates the opportunity to further their education. 'Beginning in the Fall of 2025, every police officer, every firefighter, every 9-1-1 dispatcher, will now be able to attend the University of New Haven covered through a 100% scholarship offered by the University of New Haven,' West Haven Mayor Dorinda Borer said. Borer said this is 'over a $100,000 benefit' for city public safety workers. Avon student dominates Pi Day competition, recites 540 digits from memory 'Really gaining that hands-on practical experience that contributes to job creation and economic development, to have that in West Haven at the university is something so incredibly important,' Jens Frederiksen, the University of New Haven president, said. Police officers and firefighters News 8 spoke with said it's an opportunity they're excited about. 'With family, life happens, young kids, financially, it's been impossible to get back to school,' Capt. Jacob Urban of West Haven's Center Fire District said. 'Knowing how important higher education is, I'm elated.' West Haven Police Officer Vincent D'Ancicco added, 'I think this is a great opportunity with working for the city of West Haven and going to UNH [University of New Haven] to further my education, getting my bachelor's degree and maybe my master's degree.' This initiative also benefits high school graduates. Where to see cherry blossom trees in Connecticut this April 'Currently, graduating high school students that reside in the city of West Haven are offered a 50% scholarship if you attend West Haven High School, Notre Dame, and Esums,' Borer said. 'Through our conversations, we agreed that it's important to offer it to all graduating high school students that reside in West Haven.' That benefit currently stands for city employees, as well. 'We've had that in place for several years, but only two people have taken advantage of it because they didn't know about it,' Borer explained. Borer also announced the University of New Haven is purchasing North End Field from the city. The lot off Campbell Avenue has been unused for years and will be part of the university's expansion.
