Nike Air Max Avant-Jour

The Nike Air Max, crafted by Tinker Hatfield, made its debut in 1987, introducing a revolutionary cushioning system that forever altered the trajectory of athletic footwear. Inspired by the inside-out architecture of the Pompidou Centre in Paris, Hatfield created the first-ever visible Air unit, delivering not just exceptional comfort but a design element that was unlike anything seen before. The line expanded to include models like the Air Max 90, 95, and 97, each iteration pushing boundaries of design and technology. Numerous collaborations with high-profile brands and artists, including OFF-WHITE, Supreme, and Travis Scott, have cemented the Air Max’s status as a timeless icon in sneaker culture.
