The history of the Nike Air Max

Today I would like to introduce you to one of the most legendary sneaker series of all time:

The Nike Air Max series

In 1987, Nike released the first Air Max. Nike's brilliant designer Tinker Hatfield created the first Nike shoes with a visible "air bubble" and thus a real milestone in sneaker history. Due to the great success of the shoes, Nike released various new Air Max models in the following years, almost all of which enjoy cult status and are still being re-released in new colors and designs to this day. Here are a few of the most beautiful models:
