Air Max 1
Sketch to Shelf
Legendary designer Tinker Hatfield pioneered the design for many notable Nike silhouettes, but one shoe in particular forever changed the game. The shoe that introduced visible Air to the world had to start somewhere, and “Sketch to Shelf” brings Tinker Hatfield’s original Air Max 1 sketches to life. The mudguards and swooshes aren’t filled in completely and the tongue tab features Hatfield’s first Air Max logo concept. Handwritten notes throughout walk you through Hatfield’s vision, and a “SKETCH, PROPERTY OF NIKE NOT FOR RESALE” text graphic is noted on the inner lining.

Heritage
Remember the revolution. 1987 saw the birth of the Air Max lineage, showcasing visible Air for the first time. What began as an experiment in cushioning soon evolved into an icon on the track – and the streets. Over the years, it’s been reimagined and retooled, but the heritage always remains.
