1987—nike Air Max 87
At the time, Nike Air technology was still quite mysterious for all of us; we were able to feel advantages from the Air Cushion, but just could not see any by our own eyes. Therefore, the Nike designer Tinker Hatfield exposed the bottom side of the Built-in Air Cushion, which made the technology visible for consumers, also made Air Max 1 the most of technical contents in the history of Nike's shoes. However, the visible Air Cushion later became a new trend.1991—nike Air Max 180 For Air Cushion, Nike's designers know that the bigger the better, so they developed a larger one. By the then new technology- known as Blow Molding, the larger Air Cushion was used in Air Max 180. It allowed consumers to see Air Cushion absorbers through the 180-degree of window, which was sealed in midsole. At that time, Nike has invited the global-renowned artists to join in advertising and shoes design; which was without precedent.1993—Air Max 93 Nike's designers improved Blow Molding technology further. They created no obstruction for Air Cushion to fit the heel perfectly, which provided a more flexible and more effective buffer; and then overall shape had a fashion look.1995—Nike Air Max 95 The technical improvement for Air Max 95 shoes mainly reflected in forefoot and toe area. A double pressure of Air Cushion was added in midsole, and advantages of stability and flexibility were fully combined in the shoes. Running shoes first time showed with its logo, and with the continuing development of Air Max, We had one goal in mind: bring life into the Air.1997—Air Max 97 Nike's designers carried out a new breakthrough; they designed an Air Cushion Unit crossing the entire sole of the foot, but still used only one layer of PU foam. It was the first Air Cushion that specially designed for running, and many other products followed the design. 2003—Air Max 03 After six years of research for compartmented Air Cushion, Nike's designers return to a full- sole (of the foot) Air Cushion designing idea, which actually happened in 1997. At that time, they also greatly reduced the PU foam in midsole; and replaced with a small "box", which contains Air Cushion. Non-foam Midsole was no longer an unattainable dream, and had become an irreversible trend from then.2006—Air Max 360 Air Max 360 were more focused on top class comfort and excellent motion performance. No PU foam was used in midsole; Air Cushion alone brought a new experience to every athlete.
