The concept of forefoot Air was first introduced by Nike in 1995 through the Nike Air Max 95. The mind behind its design, Sergio Lozano, incorporated inspiration drawn from human anatomy. This particular version from 2006 showcases the shoe's distinctive features such as the 'muscles' represented by the upper, 'ribs' displayed through speed-lacing eyelets, and the 'spine' portrayed in the outsole, all in a sleek black color. To maintain a genuine feel consistent with the original design, the foam cushioning of the shoe is adorned in University Blue, housing Max Air units.
