Fun With Nike Air Max 1

A very solid new Nike Air Max 1 has released this week. The sneaker comes with a dark green upper, white accents and a gum outer sole.

The answer to that question lies in the fact that the model itself has been around in one form or another since 1998, which is a lifetime in the sport shoe industry. It's quite often the fact that shoe makers like Nike will introduce the model one year and discontinue it just six months later. The Air Max TN is a notable exception, though.

What's for certain is that Nike wearers are a very loyal group. And they come in all ages, too. There are people running around in Nike shoes that remember getting their first pair of "waffle soles" way back in the mid-1970s. What's also for certain is that this particular pair of Nikes bears no resemblance whatsoever to those pioneering shoes.

A particular favorite of the skateboard set, the Nike Air Max TN comes in a wide variety of looks, including one pair that sports a skeleton. Now that's a style that is sure to be welcome at some of the finest dining establishments in Manhattan or Beverly Hills, right? Standard black/white and a fine skeleton motif... That should go well with black tie and tuxedo or white tie and tails at an MTV Video Music Awards show.
