Nike has always struck a perfect balance between comfort, technology, and style, especially when it comes to running shoes. The label started the trend with the launch of the iconic Air Max 1 in 1987.

The running-turned-lifestyle shoe was designed by the sneaker designer and veteran Tinker Hatfield, who took inspiration from the structure of the Pompidou, France. The shoe introduced the now iconic visible air unit technology. The official Nike site introduces the sneaker model,

"Remember the revolution. 1987 saw the birth of the Air Max lineage, showcasing visible Air for the first time. What began as an experiment in cushioning soon evolved into an icon on the track and the streets. Over the years, it's been reimagined and retooled, but the heritage always remains."

The latest sneaker to be added into the Air Max 1 lineage is the Air Max 1 "Familia," which celebrates the upcoming Latin Heritage Month (Falling from September 15, 2023 to October 15, 2023)

The month recognizes the rich culture and heritage rooted in the Latin American countries. The Swoosh label has therefore often honored the festivities and participated in the cultural celebration with the launch of themed footwear launches.

After releasing the "Somos Familia" and "La Familia" pack in 2022, this year, the label has showcased Air Max 1 "Familia." The special-edition sneaker comes clad in a "Hemp / Pinksicle / Sanddrift" color scheme. The upper of the silhouette comes constructed out of a mix of mesh, suede, leather, and corduroy material. The sneaker is given more details with embroidered designing.

The titular emblem is added with "FAMILIA" lettering on the right tongue, insoles, and the customized packaging box. The look is finished off with sail midsoles and multi-colored rubber outsoles.

The Air Max 1 "Familia" sneakers are expected to be released soon in Fall 2023 at a retail price of $140 in men's sizes via the official e-commerce site of Nike, the SNKRS app, and select retailers.
