Today, April 7, Dazed and Nike launched Dazed Maxx, the first-ever US edition and first-ever sport-led edition of Dazed magazine. For the special issue, we invited three athletes at the top of their fields to join us as cultural editors: Tobey McIntosh, the mastermind behind Crenshaw Skate Club; Sunny Choi, an Olympic breakdancer; and Bijan Robinson, running back for the Atlanta Falcons.
Inside Dazed Maxx, the athletes-turned-cultural editors guide us through the sports subcultures bubbling across Los Angeles, New York and Atlanta, crafting experiments that explore the future of sport through Nike’s new AirImagination platform. There are conversations between the athletes and leaders of subculture groups in their area – including figure skater Ganna Bogdan, Maggie Chen of New York’s Tai Chi Youth Group and Raushan Bennett from the Cascade Dream Team – and articles from local writers Angie Lin, Devine Blacksher and Erin White on what makes the essence of each subcultural hub so unique.
Dazed Maxx is available in the three cities that made the special issue possible: Los Angeles, New York and Atlanta. See below for where to pick up a limited-edition copy, or read the magazine online now.
