Nike Air Max 1 Essential

Discover the iconic Nike Air Max 1 shoes that first appeared in 1987. They were the first shoes with a visible Air Sole element in the heel, thanks to designer Tinker Hatfield. These shoes laid the foundations for the Air Max line, which has become one of the most successful series on the market. The most interesting part lies in the Nike Air Max 1, which revolutionized the sneaker world.

Always one step ahead and with a unique air capsule

Nike already had popular models like the Cortez, Waffle Racer and Tailwind at the time, but they lacked a groundbreaking design that would shake up the world. The launch of the Nike Air Max 1 was almost cancelled due to doubts about the visible air capsule. However, this capsule eventually provided wearers with unprecedented stability and comfort through impact cushioning.

And the rest is history. The legendary Nike Air Max 1 served as the inspiration for many other iconic models such as the Nike Air Max 90, 95, 97, Nike Air Vapormax and other Air Max series that would never have been created without the pioneering spirit and courage to experiment of the team led by Tinker Hatfield.
