The Original Air
Before the Air Max 90, before the 95, before the 97 — there was the Air Max 1. The shoe that dared to expose its cushioning to the world and sparked a design revolution that continues to this day. Wearing the Air Max 1 isn’t just a style choice — it’s a nod to the moment Nike changed everything. The DQ3989-001 carries that legacy forward with the same iconic proportions and unmistakable side window that started it all.
