The Air Max Zero, created after the Air Max 1, was eventually brought to life in 2015, a remarkable 26 years after Tinker Hatfield first conceived the idea. Despite the lack of available technology at the time to realize the original design, the initial sketch had a profound impact on both the Air Max 1 and the overall lineage of the Air Max collection. With its form-fitting mesh upper, seamless overlays, and unmistakable visible Air unit, the Air Max Zero quickly earned its name and solidified its place as a classic sneaker.
