The Air Max 1 VT QS debuted Vac-Tech, a special vacuum technology that gives the shoe clean paneling and allows it to stay up with minimal stitching. The sneaker features a black leather-based upper with Deep Royal Blue patent paneling on the sides, black collar lining, and a gum rubber outsole with a multidirectional traction pattern. The mid top also dons a partially encapsulated Air unit in the midsole for responsive cushioning.
