Air has been an integral part of Nike ever since it was first introduced in 1979’s Air Tailwind, but for the first eight years it was hidden, felt rather than seen. Then, in 1987, it became visible with Air Max, with an Air unit placed along the entire sole. This style quickly spread, from running and basketball to training and tennis, at the same time becoming a coveted lifestyle product across the globe.
