In 1985, renowned Nike designer Tinker Hatfield envisioned a novel shoe design that remained tucked away, never released to the public. Fast forward to 2015, the sketches that had gathered dust for three decades were resurrected, materializing into the iconic Air Max Zero. Seeking to offer a lighter rendition, Nike introduced the Air Max Zero Essential, which hit the market in January 2017. This iteration boasts a sleek black textile upper, featuring a bootie construction for a snug fit, complemented by protective molded overlays and the iconic white Swoosh emblem. Not compromising on performance, the shoe incorporates a Max Air unit that ensures each stride is met with a responsive and energizing sensation, delivering unmatched comfort.
