AIR MAX BW
SUMMER OF ’96
The summer of 1996 saw a selection of instantly iconic footwear styles introduced. Among the selection of favorites was the Air Max BW, presented in a fitting patriotic colorway. Celebrating the Big Window’s 25th anniversary, the Air Max BW returns in a color scheme first introduced two decades ago.
HERITAGE
AIR MAX BW
Remember the revolution. 1987 saw the birth of the Air Max lineage, showcasing visible Air for the first time. What began as an experiment in cushioning soon evolved into an icon on the track – and the streets. Over the years, it’s been reimagined and retooled, but the heritage always remains.
In 1990, the Air Max line took a fateful leap forwards with the debut of a silhouette that quickly transcended its purpose of performance running. Younger audiences may know this look as the “Air Max 90″—but upon its debut, the design was seen as an evolution of the original Air Max from 1987, and given a fitting name: Air Max III.
INSIDE THE VAULT
AIR MAX BW
Originally known as the Air Max IV, the Air Max BW was first introduced to the world in 1991. Representing Nike Running’s transition into the ‘90s, the Air Max BW featured increased padding in the collar and overall support.
One of the most iconic features of the Air Max BW is its ‘sharply angled’ line, which implies speed and cutting edge design. The most recognizable element of the silhouette, however, remains the ‘Big Window’ Nike Air cushioning, from where the shoe gets its name.
The Tinker Hatfield design was initially introduced in three colorways: a black, white and Persian Violet iteration, a clean blend of blue and green tones, and a white, black and Persian Violet look for women. Beefier, bolder and more cushioned, the BW was introduced alongside the Air Max 90 in an ad showcasing its beneficial updates.
Now celebrating 25 years of ‘Big Window’ greatness, the iconic Air Max BW returns in its truest form. The style comes complete with the iconic and heavily contrasted black and white upper, paired with the same Persian violet hue that’s become synonymous with the silhouette.
