Nike Air Max Triax 96

1987 saw the birth of the Air Max lineage, showcasing visible Air for the first time. What began as an experiment in cushioning soon evolved into an icon on the track – and the streets. Over the years, it’s been reimagined and retooled, but the heritage always remains.

For the first time, a cult classic is emerging from the vault 23 years later. Featuring the same iconic shape, materials, and visible Air unit, this retro Air Max Triax 96 has all the simple details that runners fell in love with back in 1996. Recognizable for its round laces, mesh tongue, and leather swoosh tab on the mesh toe box, the AM Triax 96 also stands out amongst the era’s Air Max releases for its slighter, more proportionate visible Air unit—in the mid-90s, oversized and full-length Air Max were trending.
