Nike Air Max 1 LXNike’s annual Air Max Day put the spotlight on iconic Air Max models while introducing new silhouettes. Air Max Day 2023 saw the debut of the Air Max Pulse and the first public release of the Air Max 1 ‘86. It’s business as usual for the ‘87 construction of the Air Max 1, which also released a handful of unique colourways for the annual event. This Nike Air Max 1 “Obsidian” keeps a clean and classic combination similar to the “OG Obsidian” rendition.
Tinker Hatfield helped Nike revolutionise the running industry when Nike Air Max arrived. He engineered the shoe for years, finding the best way to expose an Air bubble without making it too vulnerable. The Nike Air Max 1 pioneered this patented technology and took design elements from the Centre Pompidou in Paris. As a running shoe, the goal was to create a lightweight trainer with maximum cushioning. The AM1 has a mesh construction with a full-length mudguard on the lower panel, usually in leather or suede. Swooshes on the sides and Nike branding on the tongue and heel deliver the Oregon-based brand’s famous logos. The full-length PU sole has an embedded Air bubble in the forefoot, while the cored-out heel becomes a window to the visible Nike Air. Bill Bowerman’s reliable waffle outsole completes the 80s running footwear design.
