Remember 1972? Bell-bottoms ruled, gas was 42 cents a gallon and Nike was just getting started. But even in its early days, the Swoosh brand was brewing innovation, and the Nike Air Max 1, released in 1987, became the iconic embodiment of that pioneering spirit. Now, in 2024, Nike pays homage to its legacy with the aptly named Air Max 1 “Since ’72” Pack, a collection that seamlessly blends retro charm with contemporary touches.
This pack is a celebration of the Air Max 1’s lasting impact on the sneaker world. A revolutionary concept in 1987, the visible Air unit changed the game forever and forced competitors to rethink their cushioning technology. While advancements like the Air Max Dn, with its data-driven air pressure tuning, push the boundaries of performance, the Nike Air Max 1 “Since ’72” Pack reminds us of the groundbreaking spirit that started it all.
