Nike Air Max 1
The running shoe with the air cushion visible in the sole.
Tinker Hatfield was inspired by the Centre Pompidou in Paris, where the pipes and stairs are on the outside of the building. He cut a hole in the sole so that the air cushion was visible.
The Air Max 1 was a success and started a long series of Air Max shoes, which often return in new versions.
Materials: Nylon and suede, polyurethane and air in the midsole
Manufacture: Launched by Nike in the USA in 1987.
