Earlier today, Nike officially unveiled the Air Max Zero to the public eye while revealing the incredible story behind the shoe's inception. This silhouette was almost entirely based on one of Tinker Hatfield's original sketches, but the incredible part of this whole saga is that the sketch in question was created almost thirty years ago and predates the Air Max 1. The legendary designer had been regularly pumping out next-level creations on paper that were deemed unfit for production simply because they were too advanced, so imagine all the other "scrapped" ideas that are buried somewhere on campus!



So how was this piece of Tinker history unearthed? The Nike Sportswear design team visited the Archives for some inspiration for the upcoming Air Max Day and upon seeing the sketch, they chose to bring it to life given the historic backstory. Nike Air Max Zero Shoes Designer Graeme McMillan took charge and created the Air Max Zero using the Air Max 1 Ultra outsole and some of Nike's latest technology and design cues for the upper, with Tinker himself noting that had he been tasked with the Air Max Zero, he would've made many of the same decisions.

Nike celebrated Air Max Day in a big way in 2015 by releasing the Nike Air Max Zero Sale, a sneaker that originally lived as a conceptual design decades ago. In January, the yellow version on Tinker's sketch released exclusively through the SNKRS App, but sources say that the yellow/black pair will indeed make a return during the 2016 Air Max Day festivities. In addition, a new, never-before-seen colorway of the Zero is also scheduled to drop. Air Max Day is held annually on March 26th, so expect Nike to bring out some other heat as we lead up to this tradition that while celebrated since the 90s, has become official just two years ago.

The Nike Air Max Zero is the latest model to get in on the Buy Nike Air Max Zero trend. Later this week we'll see a number of different Air Max silhouettes don the "Silver Bullet" look featuring that Metallic Silver, but if that aesthetic isn't for you, there are still more classic colorways to be referenced during the AM97's 20 year anniversary. We're speaking of the Nike Air Max 97 Metallic Gold, of course. This is the first time we've seen that colorway translated onto a different Air Max model, as the Nike Air Max Zero Metallic Gold features touches of red on the heel counter while gold mesh and synthetic overlays match a metallic visible air unit borrowed from the Air Max 1.

Showing no signs of slowing down is the Shop Nike Air Max Zero, which arrives this spring in a number of new women's colorways including the two Glacier Blue tinted versions you see here. Based off early design sketches of the original Air Max 1 by Tinker Hatfield and constructed with modern materials, the Air Max Zero gets two fresh looks for spring in unique color combinations of Glacier Blue with grey, black, and lime accents in a ripstop nylon upper or the standard mesh upper in Glacier Blue with Palm Green and black accents.
