The original Air Max
1987, Tinker Hatfield, the first visible Air unit. The '86 Big Bubble reissue put the bigger window back and is the version collectors chase; the standard AM1 is the daily wearer and the easier pair to find in your size.

Air Max 1 or Air Max 95?
The 95 is the loud, chunky pair and our biggest Air Max seller. The 1 is lower, lighter and the one that goes with jeans without thinking about it. First Air Max, buy the 1; statement pair, buy the 95.
Keeping the suede and mesh right
Most AM1 colourways mix suede with mesh. Brush the suede dry, never soak it, and spray a protector before the first wear — that is the whole routine.
Nike Air Max 1 sizing
The Air Max 1 fits true to size, slightly narrow through the midfoot. Wide feet should choose the next full size up.
