Happy Air Max Day!

March the 26th, 1987 marked the release of the Air Max 1. Twenty-seven years have passed, visibility has increased, the legend has grown, and the time to celebrate has arrived. 3.26, the day that started it all, marks the celebration of an experiment turned icon.
 
The Air Max journey began when aerospace engineer Frank Rudy gave Phil Knight a pair of running shoes fitted with a prototype Air-Sole unit. After much trial and error, Rudy’s concept was applied to the Air Tailwind in 1978. The real impact would hit almost a decade later when footwear designer Tinker Hatfield decided to cut away some of the midsole and expose the airbag so you could see it. Hatfield and Mark Parker turned the vision into prototypes, samples and finally, the Air Max 1.
 
To celebrate this anniversary, Nike has released the limited edition Air Max 1 Premium QS, which is available at Ran.
