The Nike Air Max 1 , the first sneaker to feature a visible air bubble, is a transgenerational icon. Reissued, revisited, collected for over 35 years, it remains today an absolute reference in the world of sneakers. In a reconditioned version by Wathe.fr , it gains a second life, combining vintage style, technical comfort and eco-responsible commitment. A perfect fusion of urban culture and sustainable consumption, to be discovered now in our specialist store in Vichy.

Released in 1987, the Nike Air Max 1 wasn't just a beautiful shoe: it revolutionized the history of sports design . Conceived by legendary designer Tinker Hatfield, its aesthetic was directly inspired by the architecture of the Centre Pompidou in Paris, with a radical approach: show instead of hide . The result? The visible Air bubble, a shocking innovation that gave birth to a whole generation of air-cushioned sneakers. Its breathable mesh, suede or leather overlays, and retro-futuristic silhouette make it instantly recognizable. Even today, this design continues to inspire fashion, music, and street culture worldwide.

At Wathe , each refurbished Nike Air Max 1 is treated like a collector's item. We're not just talking about second-hand: our pairs are carefully selected, thoroughly cleaned, restored if necessary, and authenticated by experts . This process guarantees our customers near-new quality, while preserving the sneaker's history and aura. It's also a responsible approach, which helps combat overproduction and promote existing items, giving new life to iconic models. By choosing refurbished on Wathe.fr, you gain access to rare pairs, in excellent condition, at a fairer price, and with a true sense of ethics .

The Nike Air Max 1 is one of the few sneakers to have survived the decades without losing its relevance. It can be worn in a bold sportswear look as well as in a more minimalist or edgy outfit. Paired with oversized cargo pants, a Gore-Tex-style technical jacket, or a graphic crewneck, it asserts a strong yet accessible identity. It's also perfect for fans of vintage and Y2K style, thanks to its retro shape, thick sole, and chunky look , right on trend today. Few models can boast such stylistic versatility while being instantly recognizable.

In 2025, consuming sneakers differently has become a fashion statement as much as a personal commitment . Opting for a refurbished Nike Air Max 1 means choosing a strong piece, full of history, while also being part of a circular fashion approach. No more disposable fast fashion: make way for iconic products that last, that have a story, and that find a second life thanks to upcycling expertise. At Wathe, we advocate for this more conscious vision of consumption, without ever sacrificing style or quality. You're wearing a sneaker that's already lived — and that's precisely what makes it unique.
