After wrapping up the Nike: ON AIR contest on May 13, the sneaker giant has announced the six winning sneakers. In July, they’ll head to Nike’s Beaverton, Oregon HQ to develop physical iterations of their creations.

The Air Max 97 was the most popular silhouette this year, with Jasmine Lasode taking the highest number of votes for her “London Summer of Love” 97. Cash Ru and Gwang Shin also reworked the classic sneaker with colorways inspired by their home cities. Elsewhere, Gabrielle Serrano and Yuta Takuman remastered two other heritage models; the Air Max 98 and Air Max 1, respectively. Rounding out the group, Lou Matheron won fans with her innovative take on the newest model of the bunch, the Air VaporMax Plus.

Head to Nike’s site for a full breakdown of the winning sneakers. Were these six the best of the bunch? Let us know below.
