The Nike Air Max was first released in 1987 in a nylon/synthetic suede combo with a transparent window for the Max Air-sole unit. Despite incredulity that led customers to poke and squeeze the Air-sole, the Air Max quickly proved to be a hit. A leather edition soon followed in 1988 and from 1988-1992, Nike used a variety of colors and fabric combinations to keep a contemporary look. In 1992, however, the Air Max was reissued with two major design changes. These reissued models were manufactured in leather and used the midsole and outsole design from the Air Max 90 (then known as the Air Max 3. Nike did reissue the nylon Air Max 1995, but continued to experiment with the design, eventually reducing the size of the Nike Swoosh. To date, the Air Max continues to evolve as Nike tries to keep this classic running shoe contemporary.

""These shoes are just a plain classic. You HAVE to own a pair if youre a sneakerhead. Postage was pretty good, though a pair of shoes i ordered elsewhere at the same time arrived slightly earlier. The tracking for the shipping was really useful. Possibly the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. Will definately be ordering again and again, as my collection needs more of the gems available from the site, especially the jordan AF1s""
