Just past the finish line on Boylston Street loomed a giant inflatable model of the black, silver, and red Air Zoom Spiridon measuring some 30 feet long.

The business was bogged down—placing an online order came with a risk that your purchase might not be processed and shipped for weeks. In mid-March, Bodega co-founder Dan Natola sent a note around the industry that he was stepping down from his role as director of brand strategy.

Nike is releasing a new iteration of the original ‘Neon’ Air Max 95 colorway based on an unrealized 1994 sketch from the shoe’s designer, Sergio Lozano. The sneaker will be sold exclusively through Nike’s SNKRS app and in collaboration with the Museum of Modern Art Design Store. Without prior announcement, the MoMA Design Store put up a run of the shoes on its website here on Wednesday morning at around 10:15 am. The sneakers sold out within minutes.
