Released in May 2016, the Wmns Air Max 1 Essential 'Cosmic Purple' refreshed the iconic silhouette by incorporating 'Bleached Lilac' and deep violet accents on a pristine white base. This release aimed to infuse vitality into Nike's retro running line for the summer season. Back in 1987, renowned Nike designer Tinker Hatfield drew inspiration from the Pompidou Centre in Paris when he crafted the very first Air Max sneaker. This architectural masterpiece's see-through glass exterior served as a source of inspiration for unveiling the innovative heel cushioning unit, thus giving birth to the legendary Air Max collection.
