Nike Air Max 1
In 1987, the first Nike Air Max shoe was released. The Nike Air Max 1 had the Nike Air cushioning visible at the heel, which made the shoe an instant classic. Designed by Tinker Hatfield, the shoes’ original purpose was running. The Air Max 1 uppers were made of nylon mesh and synthetic suede, but the first leather edition Air Max 1 was released in 1988.
In 1992, Nike decided to retro Air Max 1 for the first time, but Nike changed the design a bit. The midsole and outsole were taken from the Air Max 3 (now called the Nike Air Max 90). All the retro models of the AM 1 released in 1992 were leather, but in 1995, Nike released the silhouette with nylon, then another change in 1996. Nike had made the famous swoosh logo on the side smaller.
To this day, Nike has re-released the Air Max 1 numerous times, with different materials, collaborations, and new colorways. Below is the latest Air Max 1Â news, including release dates, pricing, and where to buy.
