Nike Air Max

The Nike Air Max, conceptualized by designer Tinker Hatfield, debuted in 1987 with the Air Max 1, marking the first shoe to visibly display Nike's innovative air cushioning technology. Hatfield drew inspiration from the architecture of the Centre Pompidou in Paris, incorporating transparent sections that showcased the cushioning unit within the sole. Subsequent notable iterations, including the Air Max 90, Air Max 95, and Air Max 97, expanded the series with advanced cushioning technologies and streamlined aesthetics. Notable collaborations, such as those with atmos, OFF-WHITE, and Travis Scott, further solidified the sneaker's presence in both athletic performance and contemporary fashion.
