Nike Takes Us Inside Where Nike Air Is Made


It all started in 1977 when inventor Frank Rudy talked to his friend Phil Knight about this crazy idea he had: creating a shoe with air bags inside for extra cushioning. The two set out to make a sample pair, and once Mr. Knight came back from his test run, they were off and running in a completely new direction. It took another decade to present the world with the first ever visible air running model with the Nike Air Max 1, and now 30 years later the technology has been an incremental part of the advancement of performance running style.

Today we get a look at just how the Nike VaporMax came to fruition with its brand new construction with Nike’s Fresh Air From Oregon video feature. Not only is 90% of the waste recycled in the production of over 3.5 billion Air Max units, but it’s done right here in the United States to give everyone the chance to feet what it’s like to walk on air.

Check out the full feature over on Nike News and stay tuned for the next generation of visible air to be unveiled with the Nike VaporMax later in March.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low GS Flax Just Dropped Overseas

The FLAX/Wheat colorway on Nike AF1s have been a hot ticket over the past year or so. We’ve seen it on the highs and mids, so we knew it was only a matter of time before they arrived on the lows. That time is now. Check out the Nike Air Force 1 Low GS Flax.

Said to already be available at international retailers, we are unsure whether this colorway will be a GS-exclusive, but as of right now, we only know for certain that the shoe you see above is in a GS-size. Just like other past Flax/Wheat offerings on the Air Force 1, the low-top version also comes with a soft nubuck upper in Tan, with matching laces, branding and lining. Below the shoe will come with a Gum rubber sole to match the tonal look of the upper. No word on when they drop stateside, but we’re hoping it’s sooner rather than later.

The Nike Flyknit Racer is finally getting the Triple White treatment, and for a good cause too. The Swoosh is tapping into their Greek mythology background once again, this time paying homage to the goddess of victory with the Nike Flyknit Racer Goddess set to drop on March 8th in honor of International Women’s Day. And guys, don’t worry – this Triple White Flyknit Racer should be releasing in a full size run.
