It’s been 29 years since Nike dropped the legendary Air Max and revolutionised the sneaker game. Up until then, Nike had been flirting with in-sole Air cushioning. But the new shoe made the invisible visible in a whole new way.
Nike ripped up the rulebook and opened up a window to the sole. In doing so, it created a stand-out silhouette like no other. The sneaker bagged a cult following that included everyone from pop stars to presidents. More importantly, it became the get-up of choice for a new generation.
