It features Nike’s biggest heel Air unit yet for a super-soft ride that feels as impossible as it looks. FLEXIBLE AND BREATHABLE The shoe's bootie construction feels snug and flexes with your foot. It's made with solid and mesh areas, giving you structure and ventilation where you need them most.

In 1987, the Nike Air Max 1 debuted with visible air in its heel, allowing fans more than just the feel of Air-Sole comfort—suddenly they could see it. Since then, next-generation Nike Air Max shoes have become a hit with athletes and collectors by offering striking color combinations and reliable, lightweight cushioning.
