Leather, textile and mesh combine for a durable construction that's breathable and comfortable to wear all day. Originally designed for running, the foam midsole and Max Air unit provides lightweight cushioning. Rubber outsole gives you traction and durability. Sure, Air Max 1 started as a running shoe, but you can’t keep innovation contained. Adopted by hip-hop culture, this runner with a controversial exposed Air unit could be found anywhere from the heart of Brooklyn to the streets of London. Its cutting-edge design and striking colorways, to this day, are celebrated year after year. Laidback and easy to style, this Air Max 1 delivers everything from Parisian flair (the original was inspired by French architecture) to seasonally-perfect colors to groundbreaking comfort. Premium leather adorns the wavy mudguard and Swoosh logo, while soft suede and airy underlays nod to the original from '87. It's timeless for a reason.
