Introducing the Nike Air Max 96
Released in 1996, the Nike Air Max 96 is a key model in Nike's Air Max lineage, bridging the design styles of the Air Max 95 and Air Max 97. The Air Max 96 introduced a distinctive honeycomb-patterned upper, blending mesh and synthetic leather to create a dynamic, textured look.
This design not only enhanced the shoe’s aesthetic appeal but also contributed to its lightweight construction. The model featured multi-density visible Air cushioning units in both the heel and forefoot, delivering improved comfort and responsiveness for runners.
