Update: As We’ve been telling you,  we were fortunate enough to get a re-order of these which will be available @ 4 p.m. today at 1841 location on a first come first serve basis.

For all our hardcore sneaker fan readers and customers, this shoe should be no surprise to you. This is the first color way ever of the Air Max 1 which debuted in 1987. The Air Max 1 was the first shoe with a visible air bubble that you could see. I bet you didn’t know that the visible air concept was an accident. The bag was too big for the mid sole to close around in the molding process and it kept leaving an open window, engineers decided to keep it how it was. This accident revolutionized Nike as a shoe company. There is your history lesson for today. These shoes are on sale now for $92. For phone orders call 404.355.1410.

    Not entirely an accident, air bubble was too wide, but the idea for the bubble wasn’t production driven. Watch the tape (answer found at the 2:30 mark). History lesson amended.
