The 'Big Bubble' version of Nike's original Air Max 1 is the most fun way to celebrate this shoe's cool history
The original to the original Air Max 1 is finally back after 40 years
Nike has a lot of history behind it, but the Air Max 1 is easily one of the most storied shoes on its roster.
The original version of the shoe dropped in 1987 when Nike tapped now legendary sneaker designer Tinker Hatfield to design it. After nearly four decades, the shoe still resonates with sneakerheads everywhere.
But what most people didn’t know is that the original version of this legendary sneaker looked a bit different. The air bubble in the back heel was a bit bigger. And it came out a few months before the Air Max 1 we know now, but was recalled because of a quality issue.
Today, nearly 40 years later, Nike brought the original version of the original shoe back. And it looks just as fly as ever. We got our hands on a pair for a special episode of Special Delivery.
