Throughout the last three decades, Nike has introduced various cushioning technologies in their sneakers, but few of them have had the staying power of the exposed (and constantly re-worked) Air-Sole unit that brought the Air Max line to life. What began as a revolutionary performance mechanism soon became a household name and an iconic symbol of street style. Think about it: While most sneakers tend to excel in one particular area, the versatility and Nike Air Max Thea Womens continuous advancements of the Air Max range managed to win over competitive runners, weekend warriors and fickle sneaker enthusiasts.

Nike’s TV campaign at the time (which featured the Beatles' song "Revolution," the first time a Beatles song had been used in a television commercial) encouraged wearers to “do something,” while print advertisements hyped the brand’s first-ever visible Air unit.
