FAQs
What was Nike’s first shoe?
The first Nike shoe was nicknamed the ‘Moon Shoe’ and was created by Nike’s co-founder, Bill Bowerman. The idea for the shoe was first conceptualised when Bowerman wondered whether the grooves in his waffle iron would provide extra traction when playing sports.
How do I know what model my Air Max is?
Your Nike Air Max sneakers will have a model number located under the size and above the barcode on the tag. The tag and barcode is stitched into the sneaker’s inner tongue, and will indicate what model your sneakers are.
Who invented Air Max?
Nike’s Air Technology was developed with NASA engineer Frank Rudy in 1978., replacing the previously used EVA soles. The Air Technology began to roll out across Nike models, but the pouch remained hidden in the sole. In 1987, Tinker Hatfield created the first window design exposing the sole of the first Air Max model.
