Initially launched by Nike in 1994, the Air Burst boasts features and technology that furthers the Air Max lineage. This update—emerged in 2003—opts for a suede and leather upper in a subdued color palette, partially obscured Swooshes and a paneled mudguard. A signature logo badge on the tongue and heel embroidery hallmark the design. Its speckled midsole features a 270-degree Air pocket, riding on a solid rubber outsole.
