air max shoes

It’s been a while since pics of the air max shoes 1 x Air Trainer 1 hybrid model first popped up, and needless to say, there have been a lot of Stateside sneakerheads anxiously awaiting their release. The air max shoes1+ Trainer has already dropped overseas in parts of Asia and Europe, and now they are finally starting to arrive in the U.S. Aside from the cool-factor of the Air Max 1 being blended with the Air Trainer 1, the shoe brings the new element of a Flywire laced “air max shoes” upper, while still remaining classic thanks to the OG “Chlorophyll” color scheme. An Athletics West tongue label and insole graphics add the finishing touches to one of the more intriguing mash-up designs seen in a while. Be on the lookout for these beauties hitting select U.S. retailers such as Proper as we speak, and if you can’t find a pair near you, scoop them up now from Kixpress on weargood.com

Originally developed by Tinker Hatfield and Nike CEO Mark Parker in 1987, the air max shoes1 was the first shoe with a visible air unit, partly inspired by the Georges Pompidou Center in Paris, a modern building with large glass walls that allow the inside of the building to be seen. The air max shoes 90 had a 20% larger Air bag than the air max shoes 1, so the window got larger and the shoe wider, characteristics that added weight. Hatfield compensated by designing an upper that used lighter materials. New mold techniques and eyelet technologies gave runners more options than they had ever experienced in a shoe before. The addition of more plastic components, along with geometric blocking that shuffled colors from midsole to the upper, gave the shoe a faster look and called out the bigger Air bag. Hatfield also separated the midsole into front and back compartments to allow a range of performance and material options. “The approach was to design products that worked really well,” says Hatfield, “but also design products that stood out from everyone else and told a unique visual story.”weargood.com
