In 2015, the Swoosh brand unveiled its Nike Air Max 1 Ultra sneaker, a sleeker, more lightweight take on the original Air Max 1 from 1987. This Wmns Air Max 1 Ultra Essential was released in 2014 and features a mesh and leather upper with slick synthetic overlays for lightweight containment. A foam midsole with Max Air cushioning is installed on this women's shoe to promote a comfortable ride, while Waffle-inspired tread offers traction and flex.
