On March 26, 1987, Nike released the original Air Max 1, a silhouette that’s regarded as one of the brand’s most iconic sneakers. Created by legendary sneaker designer Tinker Hatfield, the Air Max 1 was the first shoe the Swoosh released that showcased the brand’s Air technology with a visible window into the sole.

That single innovative design sparked phenomenons in both performance and fashion. With hundreds of Air Max sneakers released over the last three decades, it is one of Nike’s most successful lines of footwear.

Now, Nike recognizes March 26 as Air Max Day, and today the company is celebrating 32 years of success. Of course, there’s no better way to do so than with new sneakers, so Nike often uses this day to release limited edition styles.

Whether you want an undeniable classic like the Air Max 1 or Air Max 90, an innovative runner like the Air VaporMax, or the all-new women's Air Max Dia you'll find many classic and new styles from Nike for men, women, and kids.
