Explore the inspiration and process behind this piece.
The Nike Air Max 1 was a revolution in shoe design — the first sneaker with a visible Air unit in the midsole, a window cut into the sole so consumers could see the technology working inside. Tinker Hatfield's 1987 design made the invisible visible. Digital Air Max 1 continues that logic: built from circuit boards, data cables, wire, leather, and found materials, this sculpture transforms the AM1's celebrated silhouette into a form that makes the interior life of discarded electronics equally visible, equally considered.
A piece about seeing what's inside things — the Air unit, the circuit board — and finding it worth looking at.
The sculpture includes a custom display base and carrying case.
