The well-known Nike Air Max 1 designer, Tinker Hatfield, found his muse in the distinctive structure of the Paris Pompidou Center, which artfully revealed its inner operations. In line with this inspiration, the Essential version of the shoe showcases a mesh foundation adorned with soft suede overlays, while a durable full-grain leather mudguard completes the aesthetic. Retaining its original design, the reissued visible Max Air unit from the beloved 1987 original provides unparalleled support and is further strengthened by a gum rubber tread.
