The Nike Air Max 1 is not only a good looking shoe but also a historic one. Its the first Nike shoe designed with visible air. This shoe was originally released in 1987 and has been retro’d in hundreds of color ways since the 90’s. If your wondering why your OG and early retro’s were comfortable and your new retro’s not so much, its because over the years Nike has abandoned the original air units for more environmentally friendly ones, and used cheaper materials for their retro releases. Anyhow, check out this legendary shoe and one of the most important designers in footwear history below.
