Did you know there’s a hidden gem in the tale of Nike Air’s grand debut? Picture this: The Air Max 1 initially had a much larger window, but with the launch date looming and production in full swing, Nike’s clever engineers stumbled upon a chilling revelation. The exposed Air unit was prone to cracking in colder climes! Fearing an icy disaster, they swiftly and stealthily downsized the window and introduced a new Air unit. And just like that, they saved the day and averted the great cracking catastrophe.
