Nike Air Max 1

Choose one of Nike's iconic Air Max 1shoes , dating back to 1987. That's when the first shoe with a visible Air Sole unit in the heel was created by a legendary Nike designer named Tinker Hatfield. Among other things, he laid the foundation for the Air Max product line , which in the following decades became the most successful product line in the world. And the best of it lies in the Nike Air Max 1 - the shoe that revolutionised the sneaker world.

One step ahead and an air capsule higher

Nike already had its workhorses at the time. While silhouettes like the Cortez, Waffle Racer and Tailwind were among the very popular, the world's leading sneaker maker was still missing an experiment that would make a dent in the world. As is often the case with ideas like this, the Nike Air Max 1release almost didn't happen at all, largely due to a lack of confidence in the visible air capsule. However, the latter proved to owners in the end not only unforeseen stability, but also a considerable sense of comfort, which was mainly caused by the impact cushioning of the air bubble.

The rest is history, and the legendary Nike Air Max 1shoes became the blueprint for a number of other iconic pairs, such as the Nike Air Max 90, 95, 97, Nike Air Vapormax and a number of other Air Maxes that we would never have seen if it wasn't for the then courage and taste for experimentation of the team headed by Tinker Hatfield.

Choose one of these iconic shoes and treat yourself to the ultimate in comfort during sports or everyday wear. These are the Nike Air Max 1.
