Nike Air Max 1
Choose one of Nike's iconic Air Max 1shoes , dating back to 1987. That's when the first shoe with a visible Air Sole unit in the heel was created by a legendary Nike designer named Tinker Hatfield. Among other things, he laid the foundation for the Air Max product line , which in the following decades became the most successful product line in the world. And the best of it lies in the Nike Air Max 1 - the shoe that revolutionised the sneaker world.
One step ahead and an air capsule higher
Nike already had its workhorses at the time. While silhouettes like the Cortez, Waffle Racer and Tailwind were among the very popular, the world's leading sneaker maker was still missing an experiment that would make a dent in the world. As is often the case with ideas like this, the Nike Air Max 1release almost didn't happen at all, largely due to a lack of confidence in the visible air capsule. However, the latter proved to owners in the end not only unforeseen stability, but also a considerable sense of comfort, which was mainly caused by the impact cushioning of the air bubble.
The rest is history, and the legendary Nike Air Max 1shoes became the blueprint for a number of other iconic pairs, such as the Nike Air Max 90, 95, 97, Nike Air Vapormax and a number of other Air Maxes that we would never have seen if it wasn't for the then courage and taste for experimentation of the team headed by Tinker Hatfield.
Choose one of these iconic shoes and treat yourself to the ultimate in comfort during sports or everyday wear. These are the Nike Air Max 1.
Materials
Upper
Suede: Leather with a characteristic brushed finish and a soft, velvety texture. Unlike smooth leather, it is produced from the inside of the leather, which gives the material an unmistakable softness and suppleness. The main advantages of suede footwear include high breathability and the ability to adapt quickly to the anatomical shape of the foot, making the shoes comfortable from the first wear. Suede stands out for its depth of colour and gives the shoes a premium look. In order for the material to retain its properties and beauty, regular impregnation is recommended to ensure protection against moisture and dirt.
Leather: It is a natural material known for its durability, flexibility and ability to adapt to the shape of the foot, ensuring unparalleled comfort and durability.
Syntetika: The synthetic upper is made of synthetic materials that are lightweight, durable and easy to clean. It provides good protection against moisture and at the same time allows for a comfortable wearing experience.
Midsole
Air Sole: Legendary cushioning element, a capsule filled with compressed air placed in the heel or toe of the shoe. It compresses on impact, absorbing shock and reducing stress on the joints. This increases comfort, energy return and durability of the shoe and has fundamentally influenced the development of modern sneakers.
Sole
Rubber: The rubber outsole provides excellent grip and durability on a variety of surfaces. Thanks to its elasticity, it absorbs shock, increasing comfort when walking or running.

Het zijn niet mijn schoenen maar ze zijn mooi
Nike is an undisputed giant in the world of sports and fashion. Nike clothing, sneakers, and even accessories have long been among the best value for money. Beyond the aforementioned apparel and accessories, the success of the brand is primarily due to its sneakers.
Innovation and Nike Air
Nike has become extremely famous for its legendary Air technology. The first Nike shoes with the then strange air bubble came out in 1987. Their name is etched in the memory of anyone who is even slightly more interested in Nike footwear - Nike Air Max 1. The designer of the first model line of Nike sneakers with the so-called Air Sole was Tinker Hatfield. An icon of sneaker culture, thanks to which today we can wear Nike shoes with the Air Max label in a wide variation of models.
We would spend ages listing all the silhouettes Nike Air Max shoes have come out in to date. Therefore, suffice it to mention the most essential ones. We would include the Nike Air Max 1, 90, 95, 97, 98 and of the newer ones, the Nike sneakers labeled Air Max Plus, 270 or 720.
History of Nike
The original name of the company we know today as Nike, was Blue Ribbon Sports. Nike sneakers didn't start appearing under their current name until 1971, when the legendary brand was joined by the no less legendary logo - the Swoosh. This was put together at the time by University of Portland student Carolyn Davidson, and her pay for this sideways design was then just two dollars an hour for labor (relative to today's prices, it would make roughly 7 times as much).
More than an Air Max
Nike footwear isn't just associated with the entire Air Max line, however. Today, it also has a large number of its own offshoots under its umbrella, which includes Nike Skateboarding (SB) , a subset of the global brand that makes skateboarders happy to wear Nike shoes today. But you'll also find Nike footwear on the feet of basketball players. Worth mentioning is the legendary Nike sneaker model called Blazer, which is still very popular today. Nike shoes for basketball players gained such popularity over time that in 1984 the Air Jordan brand was created under Nike's wing. Originally, these Nike shoes were only for the legendary Michael Jordan, but not long after their introduction, they were also in the hands of the public. And apart from the various product lines, Footshop is also the place to get Nike slippers. What's more, you'll find all of the pairs mentioned here in all colours, including white, black, red, blue or coloured.
Nike is for everyone
Nike shoes today, however, are not only produced with a focus on certain groups. Categorizing Nike clothing and footwear as sports, lifestyle or fashion would therefore be a bit of a sin. You can find Nike sweatshirts, T-shirts, trousers or tracksuits at every sporting, cultural or any other event today - look at what runners wear at races, for example, and you'll see that it's usually Nike running shoes. Nike's have simply become synonymous with a lifestyle; which one is up to the owner of each piece.
In the 50 or so years of its existence, a mere Nike sneaker with a distinctive Swoosh, has become a phenomenon of a magnitude that no one could have imagined back then. In fact, Nike shoes today can be found on everyone - athletes, artists, performers, fashion designers and we could go on and on.
The question is whether Nike shoes can also be found in your shoe closet. If the answer is yes, you have the thumbs up and the respect of other Nike sneaker lovers along with it. If the answer remains no, you now have a unique chance to change that. At Footshop, we have a variety of silhouettes in all sorts of colors. You'll also findNike shoes in limited editionshere, which would be a shame not to take advantage of. But we won't keep you any longer and go enjoy your shopping!
