Uncovering the creative process behind the iconic Nike Air Max 1, the sneaker's infamous designer, Tinker Hatfield, presents the 'Sketch to Shelf' version of the storied style. An ode to the OG Air Max 1 colourway, this interpretation of the classic silhouette is covered in Hatfield's scribblings and notes. A celebration of the first Air Max sneaker to feature visible Max Air cushioning, the 'Sketch to Shelf' immortalises the model further with its unique perspective and cultural significance.

Detailed with haphazard shading to the uppers, scribbled notes and a printed warning to the interior commenting “SKETCH, PROPERTY OF NIKE, NOT FOR RESALE”, the sought-after style harks back to 1987, serving up a significant slice of sneaker history. Embellished with a translucent sole to allow for a further twist of underfoot detailing, Nike ensure that this celebration of the Air Max 1 and its designer is one to remember.

Cementing his status as Nike's most infamous sneaker designers, Tinker Hatfield continues to showcase his ability to redefine sneaker style, taking aim at his own creation to deconstruct the clean cut aesthetic with the playful 'Sketch to Shelf' model.

The Nike Air Max 1 'Sketch to Shelf' is now available for registration on END. Launches.
