In 1977, aerospace engineer Frank Rudy demonstrated the encapsulated Air cushion technology to Nike founder Phil Knight. Then in 1978, Nike released the first Air Tailwind equipped with this technology, which opened up an important innovation in sports shoe cushioning technology and helped Nike quickly become the world’s leading sports brand.
Recently, in order to pay tribute to the inventor of air cushioning, Nike Sportswear launched a special M. Frank Rudy edition of the Air Max 97, a milestone in the evolution of air cushioning.
The shoe body is made of white frosted leather, with details outlined in blue, orange and black.
The special thing is that the tag that comes with the shoe is in the shape of a barometer, and the insole shows its special commemorative significance through the Air cushion design blueprint and Frank Rudy’s signature.
In addition, the Air Max cushion covering the entire palm of the midsole is printed with the words EST. 1997, conveying the year when Air Max 97 was born. The overall color matching and the tribute to the details are just right.
According to current news, this special color of Nike Air Max 97 “M. Frank Rudy” will be available for sale worldwide in the near future, with an official price of $185. Interested friends may wish to pay more attention!
