Nike Air Max 1, in a few lines
With the Nike Air Max 1, released in 1987, Tinker Hatfield made Air cushioning visible for the first time: a window cut into the sole reveals the unit in the heel. The idea came to him from the Centre Pompidou in Paris, whose structure and pipes sit on the outside of the building. The original colorway combines white, gray and a bold red. Mesh and suede upper, low and slim silhouette: it is the starting point of the whole Air Max family, and a model regularly chosen for collaborations.
