This year marks the return of the Nike Air Trainer 1 Chlorophyll in its original construction since its debut in 1987. Such a unique sneaker deserves a proper look to match, and you can check out StockX for putting together A Perfect Fit for the latest Nike Air Trainer 1 retro.
Nike Air Trainer 1 Chlorophyll (2022)
The Nike Air Trainer 1 Chlorophyll was designed as the perfect sneaker for every sort of physical activity. Athletes could play a number of sports without needing to find specific footwear for each thanks to the Air Trainer 1. Designer Tinker Hatfield, who is also responsible for creating some of Michael Jordan’s most popular sneakers, crafted the Air Trainer 1 to work for all types of sport with a front-foot strap for locking in the wearer’s feet, high-cut construction for stability, and a considerable heel lift and Air midsole for to support various running styles. Even with its groundbreaking technology and design (at the time), the Air Trainer 1 became made even more noteworthy thanks to tennis star John McEnroe, who won two championship titles while rocking the sneakers both on clay and grass courts.
The sneakers have since transcended their cross-training function and are now considered streetwear favorites among both veteran and novice sneakerheads. And even during a time when old school basketball sneakers, like the Air Jordan 1 and New Balance 550, are dominating the resale game, the Nike Air Trainer 1 Chlorophyll is a release that still carries qualities that make it a sought after product in today’s market.
