Such storied is this style\u2019s history that the brand in 2014 declared March 26 (the day when the prototype was released) as the Air Max Day to celebrate this shoe and release its new models. This year, as this icon celebrates its 34th anniversary, we take a closer look at its inspiring story and development.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nike, founded in 1964 as Blue Ribbon Sports, is one of the biggest footwear brands in the world. Designs like Cortez, the Dunk, and Air Jordan 1 have forever associated it with the face-paced and performance-driven world of athletic shoes. And gracing this avante-garde edit of Nike shoes is Air Max that catapulted this American brand to global success.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The story of Air Max started with an idea that was pitched and rejected by twenty-three shoe companies. Marion Franklin Rudy was an aerospace engineer who came up with a novel idea of stowing airbags in the sole of running shoes for smoother and more comfortable wear. After plenty of rejections, he met Nike\u2019s co-founder Phil Knight and presented him his radical theory. When the theory was put on a practical test, the result was astounding. Hence, in 1978, Nike launched Tailwind \u2014 the first shoe to have air cushioning in the soles. The design, launched in limited numbers, became instantly popular.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The OG: Nike Air Max 1 Sneakers<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tinker Hatfield, the father of several iconic shoes, is the mastermind behind the legendary Air Max 1. Currently the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Vi<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ce President for Design and Special Projects<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> at Nike, he is one of the most acclaimed designers of the footwear industry and also the creator of Nike Air Jordan sneakers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He claims that the cultural metamorphosis of the mid-80s inspired him to create something different and new. During this time, changes in all spheres of life were swiftly taking place. People rejected the run-of-the-mill processes in favor of the unconventional and distinctive. Therefore, Nike too had to calibrate in order to survive this period of transition. And then, a significant milestone in Nike\u2019s story came when Hatfield designed the breakthrough Air Max 1 sneakers in 1987, a shoe with a visible Air window.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13464\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13464\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13464\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.theluxurycloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/shutterstock_1534961762.jpg\" alt=\"Nike Air Max Sneakers\" width=\"800\" height=\"583\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13464\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Editorial credit: seeshooteatrepeat \/ Shutterstock.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The design of Air Max 1 was the magnum opus of Tinker Hatfield. A trained architect himself, he was moved by the futuristic structure of Pompidou Centre in Paris. He translated the inside-out style of the building into a shoe design, creating a window on the sole to put on display Nike\u2019s patented Air mechanism. It was the first time when such advanced technology was incorporated into the design of a sneaker. A platform built for future inventions! <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A Tale of Progression: How Nike Air Max Transformed Over The Decades<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Throughout all the models released in the last three decades, Air Max has constantly transformed to make running swifter, bouncier, and easier. The brand\u2019s relentless drive and reverence for unlocking new doors have given rise to a lineup that is dynamic, cutting-edge, and in all sense \u2014 visionary.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">From Air Max 90 to 95, 97 to 360, and Zero to VaporMax, every new iteration of this iconic style has been bestowed with modern elements and transmogrifying technology to capture the mood of the moment without forgoing its unique DNA. A sneaker whose genesis lied in running has now become a streetwear staple being available in a wealth of trendy colorways. In terms of the silhouette, the shape of the sneaker has aged like fine wine. It has graciously harbored all of Nike\u2019s latest technologies like Flyknit uppers, Hyperfuse, and Lunarlon soles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One can better appreciate the evolution of these popular Nike shoes through the following models:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nike Air Max 90 Sneakers<\/span><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13465\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13465\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13465\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.theluxurycloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/shutterstock_1920983327.jpg\" alt=\"Air Max Day 2021\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13465\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Editorial credit: nexusby \/ Shutterstock.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Introduced with a bigger Air unit in the sole, Nike Air Max 90 remains one of the most covetable models of the franchise. The original pair was dressed up in a pleasing colorway \u2014 Infrared to drive emphasis on the new design element. Today, the market is rife with myriad versions of the 90 available in a throng of cool colorways, all the while staying true to the aesthetics of the prototype.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nike Air Max 97 Sneakers<\/span><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13466\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13466\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13466\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.theluxurycloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/shutterstock_1422743087.jpg\" alt=\"Nike Air Max Sneakers\" width=\"800\" height=\"532\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13466\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Editorial credit: Alina Boldina \/ Shutterstock.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A notable shift in the design of the Nike Air Max was witnessed in the \u201897\u2019 model. In lieu of a window, the soles were now endowed with a full-length air unit, thereby redefining the potential of the Air technology. In addition, the contemporary aesthetics gave these sneakers a street-approved look.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nike Air Max Plus Sneakers<\/span><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13467\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13467\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13467\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.theluxurycloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/shutterstock_1246102051.jpg\" alt=\"Nike Air Max Sneakers\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13467\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Editorial credit: Albo \/ Shutterstock.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Released in 1998, Air Max Plus is a fashion icon that owes its success to an unconventional silhouette. These sneakers were designed by Sean McDowell, who took inspiration from palm trees of the Florida beaches, translated as a wavy overlay on a gradient exterior that mirrored the sunset sky. Besides, this model also marked the debut of Nike\u2019s updated Tuned Air technology placed on the tongue of the shoe. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nike Air Max VaporMax Sneakers<\/span><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13468\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13468\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13468\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.theluxurycloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/shutterstock_720960160.jpg\" alt=\"Nike Air Max Sneakers\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13468\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Editorial credit: Soundaholic studio \/ Shutterstock.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Creativity takes a new form in Nike Air Max VaporMax, introduced in 2017. Nike\u2019s exceptional growth in technology and design can be traced through each model of the Air Max line. While the Nike Air Max 360 flaunted the soles as a comprehensive Air unit, with VaporMax, the brand took another leap. Air Max VaporMax is a vision of fine engineering constructed with both the midsole and the outsole designed as one integrated Air unit. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nike Air Max 720 Sneakers<\/span><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13469\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13469\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13469 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.theluxurycloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/shutterstock_1658806159.jpg\" alt=\"Air Max Day 2021\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13469\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Editorial credit: kudryavtsev dmitriy \/ Shutterstock.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cEngineered for steps rather than strides\u201d, Nike Air Max 720 was released in 2019 as a lifestyle sneaker instead of a sports shoe. Designed with the tallest Air unit, 720 personifies the notion of walking on air. Because the Air unit in this model is visible 360 degrees vertically and horizontally, the pair was titled 720. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The charisma of Nike Air Max lies in evolution. From Air Max 1 to 720, a journey of innovation and discovery was started 34 years ago and will continue till infinity, because as Nike says, Air is not about \u2018then\u2019; it is about \u2018now\u2019.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Find popular Nike shoes for men and women like Nike Dunk and Nike Air Jordan 1 <a href=\"https:\/\/theluxurycloset.com\/uae-en\/men\/men-shoes\/brand-nike\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When technical dexterity knocked into the stellar talents of shoemaking, the outcome led to the world\u2019s most revolutionary and one of the most popular Nike shoes of all time \u2014 Nike Air Max Sneakers.
