The  Nike Air Max 1 (aka Nike Air Max or Nike Air Max 87) was released in a variety of colors and fabric combinations which have given it a contempory flavor. The first retro of the Air Max 1 came in 1992. Nike used the soles of the Air Max 90 to save money on production of this shoe. Due to the mismatch of the upper to sole, this version has been in high demand to find. All of the retros in 1992 were leather, but Nike went back to its roots when it brought our the Nike Air Max 1 again in nylon versions in 1995.
