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.

""It was a simple transaction. I found what I wanted, it was for less than i could buy it locally and it shipped in a very timely manner upon my purchase. What made me so happy is I couldnt find the product anywhere around town so to find it and obtain it so easily online (for less) made the whole transaction awesome. Thanx. My son will love his new Air Jordan shoes for Christmas. (They are exactly what he asked for)""
