Designed by Tinker Hatfield, the Nike Air Max 1 made the Air unit in the sole visible. Its design was inspired by the Centre Pompidou in Paris, whose technical elements are exposed on the outside. This idea led to a running silhouette that became the starting point for the Air Max family.
The Coproom collection brings together the available Air Max 1 styles: classic colorways, Premium editions and collaborations, depending on the catalog. Compare the materials, panels and sole color in the photos, then select your size to see its price. For a more structured, layered shape, also check out the Nike Air Max 95. The full range is available in the Air Max collection.
