It blends the original AM90's essence with a few updates specifically designed for the links, like traction pattern and a thin overlay that helps keep out water. Versatile Grip The traction pattern gives you optimal grip in various conditions. The design draws its inspiration from the iconic Waffle outsole on the original Air Max 90.

The mesh has a thin, flexible overlay that helps keep out water and makes it easy to clean your shoes. Underfoot Comfort A foam midsole with Max Air unit in the heel cushions every step. Nike Air Max Origins Revolutionary Air technology first made its way into Nike footwear in 1978. In 1987, the Air Max 1 debuted with visible Air technology in its heel, allowing fans more than just the feel of Air cushioning—suddenly they could see it. Since then, next-generation Air Max shoes have become a hit with athletes and collectors by offering striking color combinations and reliable, lightweight cushioning.
