What makes this particular year extra special is the fact it is the 35th anniversary of the Nike Air Max 1. The classic is dubbed as ‘the shoe that started it all’. Tinker Hatfield conceptualized the first Air Max model, which was released in 1987. Tinker drew inspiration for the inaugural design from the architecture of the Centre Pompidou during a visit to Paris. From there, the sneakers became a cultural phenomenon.
