The Nike brand boasts a wide range of high-performance shoes, and the Air Max series is one of them. The Air Max 1 is the first silhouette in the first line of sneakers with a visible air unit. These shoes have morphed into daily lifestyle shoes, despite being initially designed as running shoes by Tinker Hatfield.

The game-changing silhouette comes in a variety of designs and colors, making it the go-to choice for sneakerheads and fashionistas alike.

The Air Max 1 shoes are not only fashionable, they are fitted with the sought-after 270 degrees of improved air cushioning for optimum comfort and stability.

Another reason for the cult following of the Air Max 1 series among sneakerheads is that they are great investments, with some legendary iterations fetching up to tens of thousands of dollars on the resale market.

From the Nike Air Max 1 Animal Pack to the Pattaya Purple Denim, below is a carefully curated list of the most expensive Air Max 1s of all time.
