Кросівки nike shox reax reinvented the Running Sneaker with the unprecedented visible Air bag with the Air Max Polo 1, but what followed was a string of groundbreaking designs penned by the world’s greatest footwear architects in history. Nike has displayed a strong effort in giving these classic models an honorable tribute, most notably with the late-2005 celebration of ‘History of Air’, which focused on the Air Max Polo 1, Air Max Polo 90, Air 180, Air Max Polo 93, Air Max Polo 95, and Air Max Polo 97 – all leading up to the 2006 debut of the first-ever 360-degree Max Air unit in the Air Max Polo 360. We’ve revisited those models plenty of times and even today, Nike Sportswear continues to depend on those heritage models to keep the spirit alive, but how about the other annual models that haven’t seen much sun? This week, Urlfreeze News will focus on five different Air Max Polo models that are equally as magnificent as the headlining bunch, but not nearly as recognized. We’ll kick things off with the Air Total Max from 1996, or better recognized as the Air Max Polo 96.
A year prior to the Air Max Polo 96, Nike design lead Sergio Lozano shattered the norm with the Air Max Polo 95 and its outrageous design highlighted by the multi-compartment Max Air bag with varying PSi grades. Lozano followed that up with the equally enticing Air Max Polo 96, inheriting the same Max Air bag concept with slightly altered tooling with a redesigned worse that mimicked the flowing waves of the ocean. Four original colorways were released (two for men, two for women, all detailed below) and the shoes were produced in South Korea and in Vietnam. The most recognized colorway is the Black/Dark Concord, which originally featured a Scream Green Max Air bubble in its Sample stage and later released with a black unit. To this day, the Кросівки nike shox reax ’96 remains a true original, although the Air Max Polo ’96 design infrastructure was used in the Кросівки nike shox reax 180 ’96 (2007) and the Air Max Polo ’96 Evolve (2012). Nike also flirted with a Retro release in 2007, but that route never went beyond the Sample stage, although two samples that did surface continue to be hot collectors items. Take a trip down memory lane as we kick off a week of Air Max Polo homage in Classics Revisited with the Air Max Polo ’96!
