Nike Air Max 1 ESS - FZ5808-101
Nike Air Max 1 ESS — FZ5808-101 | Men’s
The Nike Air Max 1 ESS (FZ5808-101) is a Men’s lifestyle running shoe from one of the most significant and enduring silhouettes in Nike’s history. The Air Max 1 was designed by Tinker Hatfield and introduced in 1987 as the first Nike shoe to feature a visible Air unit in the midsole — a design decision that fundamentally changed the direction of performance and lifestyle footwear. The ESS (Essential) designation marks this as part of the Air Max 1 Essential line, a sub-category within the AM1 family that delivers the core Air Max 1 construction in refined, versatile colourways suited for everyday wear. The FZ5808-101’s ‘-101’ style code suffix places this release in a White-dominant colourway family — one of the cleanest and most universally wearable executions of the Air Max 1 silhouette. Available in Men’s sizes 7.5 through 13 at $140.00.

Design Notes
The Air Max 1’s design language — mesh and suede/leather upper panelling, the visible heel Air unit, and a low-profile running silhouette — has remained largely faithful to Hatfield’s original 1987 blueprint, a testament to how resolved the design was from the outset. The ESS line refines this foundation with essential colourways built for longevity and versatility. The FZ5808-101’s White-dominant palette is among the most wearable in the AM1 Essential range, offering a clean, light aesthetic that works equally well with athletic and casual wardrobes. The Men’s size run spans US 7.5 to 13 with half sizes throughout.
