Charged with updating a classic Nike design, 1987’s Air Max 1, the Nike Sportswear Footwear Design Team dialed up technological innovations and re-mastered the performance and aesthetic of the original style to create the Nike Air Maxim 1 Torch+.

The design team focused on lightweight stability and cushioning. The result is a staggering 66% weight reduction from the original, with the Air Maxim coming in at a mere 10.1 ounces. This dramatic weight reduction can be attributed to several key features:

-Introduction of the innovative Acespan Mesh, a lightweight material developed for the 2008 Nike LunaRacer.

-Flywire Technology, drastically reducing the weight while creating an upper that moves with the foot and is stronger than ever.

-Deployment of a three-piece injected Phylon midsole, optimizing cushioning and support.

-Use of lightweight screen-printed Swoosh design trademark and eyelet details.

This Nike Air Maxim 1 Torch+ in the Black/Varsity Maize-Anthracite-Gum Colorway has a classic shape made out of black fabric and the flywire technology. The mudguard comes in fresh black fabric and inside anthracite mesh lining. Nice contrast on tongue and the swoosh in a varsity maize color. Timeless colorway for great combinations!

Must have for the spring season.

Available now in the Nike Air Max Section.
