Seit jeher macht Nike ein Riesen Geheimnis um ihre Luftpolster und deren Herstellung. Die Air Max sind die bekanntesten Luftgepolsterten Modelle, ganz aktuell steht der VaporMax in den Startlöchern. Als Vorbereiter des Air Max Day hat Nike nun erstmals einen Blick in die Fabrik in Oregon werfen lassen. Spannende Sache das!
A first-ever look inside Nike’s Air Manufacturing Innovation facility in Beaverton, OR which for almost 30 years has created and innovated with Nike Air technology.
Nike’s signature AIR technology was invented by NASA engineer Frank Rudy in the late ’60s. Originally intended to make ski boots more comfortable, by 1978 Rudy’s AIR sole made its debut on the Nike Tailwind, and it’s evolved incredibly since. AMI focuses on several distinct types of AIR bags, ranging from the Max, Zoom and Tuned Air technologies, to the new VaporMax AIR bag.
