Meet the leader of the pack. Walking on clouds above the noise, the Air Max 1 blends timeless design with cushioned comfort. Sporting a Max Air unit and mixed materials, this icon hit the scene in '87 and continues to be the soul of the franchise today. Benefits: The upper mixes synthetic leather, suede and mesh for a layered look built to last. Foam midsole with a Max Air unit in the heel provides lightweight cushioning. Rubber Waffle outsole adds durable traction and heritage style. The padded, low-cut collar feels soft and comfortable. Air Max 1: Sure, Air Max 1 started as a running shoe, but you can't keep innovation contained. Adopted by hip-hop culture, this runner with a controversial exposed Air unit could be found anywhere from the heart of Brooklyn to the streets of London. Its cutting-edge design and striking colourways, to this day, are celebrated year after year.
