Renowned sneaker designer Tinker Hatfield, known for his groundbreaking ideas, first made his mark in the world of architecture. Drawing inspiration from the iconic Pompidou Center in Paris, Hatfield created the revolutionary Nike Air Max 1 in 1987. Today, the Nike Air Max 1 Essential sneaker takes this classic silhouette to new heights by incorporating a top-tier construction with a combination of breathable mesh, luxurious suede, and premium leather. Standing out from the rest of the AM1 Essentials released in the spring of 2015, this particular version boasts a striking monochrome colorway, displaying the darkest shade in the series.
