A futuristic footwear offering, the Nike Air Trainer 1 SP was designed by Tinker Hatfield and first released in 1987. Worn by world famous athletes, such as Bo Jackson and John McEnroe, the style offered a versatile approach and iconoclastic design.

Inspired by a trip to the gym, Hatfield looked to combine comfort and support, eliminating the need for two separate pairs of sneakers for running and weightlifting.

Dressed in a dark, smoky grey colourway, details like the forefoot strap nod to the original while reflective graphics and iridescent accents add a utilitarian flourish, complete with Air cushioning and a mid-height collar to promise all-day comfort.
