The Icon From its 1987 roots to today, the Nike Air Max 1 is easily one of the most recognizable sets of kicks ever. Created by Nike designer Tinker Hatfield, these innovative sneakers have continued to be excellent daily runner and general use shoes, as people's thirst for the variety of new colorways, materials, and revamps never seems to decline. The Air Max 1 is always cool, and a must-have in any true sneakerhead's collection. Style That Performs The technology behind the design is at the heart of what makes the Air Max 1 so long-lived. The wide variety of uppers, from mesh, to vinyl, to leather and more, there's a style of Air Max for any outfit. The revolutionary Air-Sole technology is what keeps it so comfortable, and the window in the bottoms shows just how effective it is while offering another spot to add contrast or color. It's a lightweight shoe that feels even lighter, and provides excellent all-day support while doing so.
