Nike is commemorating the Paris 2024 Olympics with the Air Max 1 “Olympic.” The shoe's white mesh base offers breathability for strenuous activities, while suede overlays in navy blue and grey deliver a complementing pop of color.

Nike first introduced its revolutionary Air Cushioning Technology in 1978, changing the way athletes approached their running shoes forever. By 1987, the science behind the Nike Air unit in the shoes had advanced rapidly, meaning the cushioned air unit was bigger and comfier than ever before.

On Nike tags it is the production date, usually a few months before the shoe was released for sale.
