Nike Air Max 93 History
A new process, called blow molding, was used to make the Nike Air Max 93. This involved gas being injected through an external device that forced plastic into the mold. The Air Max 93 was the first in the Air Max line-up to have a colored air unit, and the uppers had a sock-like fit, so now it was more like you were “one” with your shoes.
Design-wise, the Air Max 93 showcased a bold and futuristic aesthetic. Its neoprene collar and innovative lacing system provided a snug and supportive fit. The shoe’s upper featured a combination of mesh, suede, and synthetic materials, adding durability and breathability.
The Air Max 93 quickly gained popularity for its performance capabilities and stylish design, becoming a coveted sneaker among sneakerheads and fashion enthusiasts. Over the years, it has been released in various colorways and collaborations, further cementing its status as a cultural icon.
