Air

What does Air actually mean? Nike Air is the most famous cushioning technology from Nike. Air Force, Air Max models etc. don't have the word in their name for nothing. The addition indicates that an Air bubble is built into the models. You can imagine the whole thing as an air cushion filled with an inert gas mixture. What is visible in the Air Max 720 can also be hidden in other models. Incidentally, design legend Tinker Hatfield was the first to provide a glimpse of the technology in the Air Max 1 through the recess in the sole.
