Introducing the Nike Air Max 1
When it comes to iconic sneaker design and innovation, few models compare to the Nike Air Max 1. Created by the legendary Tinker Hatfield, its design was inspired by the architecture of Paris’s Centre Georges Pompidou, whose inside-out aesthetic sparked the groundbreaking idea of a visible Air unit.
Although Nike’s Air Cushioning Technology had existed since 1978, it was the Air Max 1 (released on March 26, 1987) that introduced the Air unit as a defining visual feature, forever changing sneaker culture.
Built for a balance of durability, comfort, and style, the Air Max 1 features an upper made from mesh, suede, and synthetic overlays for breathability and support, with premium editions crafted from leather or nubuck. The foam midsole houses the signature visible Air unit, offering lightweight cushioning and impact absorption, while a rubber waffle outsole ensures traction. A padded collar and tongue add to its all-day comfort.
A true trailblazer in both performance and design, the Nike Air Max 1 remains a must-have for sneaker enthusiasts across the globe.
