Nike Air Max 1

Multicolor Nike Air Max Sneakers

The Nike Air Max 1 debuted in 1987 with a clear plastic window, or bubble, that displayed the inner-workings of Nikes Air Sole cushioning platform. The columned Air chambers displayed in the bubble had been in use by Nike for nearly a decade but remained hidden until the release of the Nike Air Max 1. The exposed design was inspired by the architecture of the Centre Pompidou museum in Paris, namely, the large exterior windows exposing the clear tube-like walkway chambers running along the buildings faade. The shoe continues to be revisited to this day in countless new color combinations and materials, as well as through modernized reconstructions.

How has the design of the Air Bubble

changed since the release of the Air Max 1?

Nike had to redesign the Air Cushion chamber for the Nike Air Max 1 by widening the traditional Air pouch to give the columns a more rigid appearance. Nike then carved out the sides of the midsole to reveal a column of the soles Air cushioning to show off how Nike's air-filled technology works. Air cushioning technology replaced traditional molded EVA soles with gas-filled urethane pouches that look like tubes. While the air pocket on the classic Air Max 1 may look dated from a modern perspective, over time, the air pockets on the Air Max product line became more refined as seen in later releases. The size, design, and the number of air units varies within the product line; the "retro" Air Max 1 simply includes one small unit under the heel, while the biggest and boldest Air Max bubbles (found on the Air VaporMax and Air Max 270) have midsoles composed entirely of air units with no conventional foam present.

What unique features of the Nike Air Max 1 set it apart?

Although originally designed as an athletic shoe, the colorful sneakers quickly became a mainstay for casual wearers due to their bright original colorways in white with red or blue accents, but most importantly, because of the Air bubble.
