Celebrating the shoe’s 35th anniversary, the Nike women’s Air Max 1 ‘La Ville-Lumière’ is a European exclusive that launched on March 26 as part of Nike’s 2022 Air Max Day festivities. The shoe’s name, which translates to ‘City of Lights,’ is a direct nod to Paris, home of the Centre Pompidou — the historic building with an inside-out architecture that inspired Tinker Hatfield to create the iconic visible Air-sole unit. The sneaker’s unique build combines a white mesh base with a grey nubuck mudguard and iridescent overlays at the midfoot and heel. Navy tongue tags display ‘3.26’ branding, while the translucent rubber outsole reveals printed text that includes the shoe’s moniker and release date.
