This sneaker blends traditional design with a modern feel, featuring a mesh upper with Khaki suede overlays and a light Orewood Brown mudguard. A black leather Swoosh accents the side, while a visible Max Air unit in the heel provides cushioning. The foam midsole sits on a rubber Waffle outsole for durable traction. Originally designed by Tinker Hatfield in 1987, the Air Max 1 pioneered visible cushioning. This specific variant features a heel-embedded Max Air unit for responsive bounce.
