Nike Air Max 1 Essential, designed by renowned architect-turned-sneaker visionary Tinker Hatfield, drew inspiration from the Pompidou Centre in Paris and incorporated translucent heel cushioning into its design. Offering a modern twist on the timeless 1987 classic, this particular model boasts a stylish combination of grey and Anthracite in its mesh and leather upper construction. The design is further enhanced by subtle patterned panels and pops of vibrant Team Orange accents. As part of the Spring 2015 collection, this iteration was among the variety of AM1 Essential sneakers that Nike introduced to the market.
