Men's Air Max 1(3)

Our men's Air Max 1 trainers are a modern classic you're bound to recognise. The iconic shoes have an exposed Nike Air unit and wavy mudguard. As well as contributing to their signature design, these high-performance features make them a joy to wear. Not to mention the supportive cushioning, so you can stay on your feet all day long.

We launched the Air Max 1 in 1987. The design shook up sports footwear and set the gold standard for comfort and support in performance shoes. The idea was simple yet revolutionary—designer Tinker Hatfield decided to expose our air cushioning technology on the outside of the shoe. That way, everyone could spot the groundbreaking science behind the trainers, making the concept easier to grasp.

Think of the Nike Air unit as a mini trampoline that springs back up each time the heel hits the ground. This adds bounce to every step, pushing you forward. We've honed our concept since those early days, taking its functionality and style up a level without compromising on our core ideas. Today, you can find the latest men's Nike Air Max 1 trainers in a rainbow of colourways. We've crafted them with mixed-material uppers for a statement look. Think engineered mesh panels to maximise airflow and sleek suede accents. Count on the rubber waffle outsoles for traction and heritage style. We've also added a padded low-cut collar that's soft and comfortable.

Nike's Move to Zero is our journey towards a zero carbon and zero waste future. To join our journey, choose men's Air Max 1 trainers with the Sustainable Materials tag. It means we've made the shoes with at least 20% recycled content. Think durable polyester spun from old plastic bottles, carpets and fishing nets diverted from landfill. Since 2008, we've made all our Nike Air units at our Oregon and Missouri facilities with at least 25% post-manufacturing waste.
