Meet the leader of the pack. Inspired by French architecture, celebrated in sport and reveled by fashion, this is the first shoe in the family that revealed Air to the world. With a fast-paced look, tried-and-true cushioning and classic wavy mudguard, there's no wonder it’s reigned supreme since 1987.

I LOVE these shoes. They’re the classic comfort you come to expect from Nike Air Max and the color way is simple enough to fit into your everyday outfits with ease. The pair I got are the white with orange and gray elements and I am truly enamored by the way it stands out, and I’ve gotten tons of compliments too! Definitely a 10/10 for me and definitely an every day fit essential!

I’m loving my Air Max 1 Essentials! They are so comfortable and stylish without being overly flashy. They are true to size and fit great straight out of the box, no need to be broken in. So far, I’ve been wearing these shoes to work where I’m on my feet most of the day, but I imagine they’d be great for light work outs or runs too. I work in high end sales and try to wear outfits that are comfertable and practical yet sophisticated, so these can definitely can be dressed up or down. I like wearing them with dresses and skirts to contrast the sportiness of the shoe. The mix of orange, grey, and white is unique yet neutral enough to allow for lots of different options when it comes to styling. The color combo really makes the shoes stand out and I’ve gotten so many compliments just wearing them the past two weeks. I also really appreciate the contrasting textures on this shoe, which features suede, mesh, and crocodile leather elements. The silhouette of this shoe is truly timeless. It is the perfect balance of chunky and slim, with a kind of retro feel. Honestly I wouldn’t change anything about these shoes, I just need more colors!

I love these Air Max's! The combination of multiple different textures and colors really help bring out the uniqueness of these shoes. I can't get enough of the orange suede and bold black Nike logo with the gray leather detail. I'm continually surprised by the snug fit and simple ease of slipping them on and off. These are a perfect addition to many of my outfits! So fun!
