Sometimes seeing really is believing. That was certainly the case in ’87 when the original Air Max debuted. It was the first shoe to feature a visible Air unit that let light shine through so athletes could see the technology at work. Thirty years later, the Air Max 1 Anniversary shoe celebrates the sneaker that made Air cool. It features the same design as the OG legend, updated with modern materials and a heritage University Red colorway and University Blue colorway.
To say this year’s celebration was a success is an understatement, it was simply an epic party! Thank you to EVERYONE that came out to celebrate, and can’t wait til next year!
My friends and I celebrated my birthday at MJ’s last night and it couldn’t have been a more legendary experience! We started with the Famous Garlic Bread Fondue and Nueske’s Double Smoked Bacon which we loved! The cocktails were on point – and the MJ favorite Clase Azul shots were amazing! What’s a celebration without dessert, so we indulged in the legendary 23 layer chocolate cake and the Peanut Butter Pie to share among us. The whole staff including the bartender who was rocking Air Jordan XI’s went out of their way to make our experience grand. The service was more than attentive, it was impeccable. Can’t wait to go back!
The court had never seen anything like the Air Jordan I when it debuted in 1985. Constructed from the best materials of the era, its design carried it from cutting edge to classic as the Air Jordan line gained altitude. Now, with over thirty years of colors and materials behind it, the original anti-gravity machines take another step forward with a complete Flyknit reconstruction. The flexible, lightweight update includes pigskin-leather accents and stays true to its DNA with Nike Air cushioning, a high-cut collar and OG royal and black blocking.
In 1985, the Air Jordan I was constructed from the most innovative and best materials at the time. The icon was forever cemented in footwear history, even while the Air Jordan line continued to evolve and build on its predecessors. Now over three decades later, the Air Jordan I is built to today’s standards with a full Nike Flyknit construction and classic Nike Air cushioning. Honoring Air Jordan I heritage, the new-look design features a premium leather Swoosh and tongue, along with Nike Air branding on the tongue and sockliner.
