For those not familiar, Tinker Hatfield isn’t just any designer, he’s the creative genius behind some of Nike’s most legendary kicks, including the Air Max 1 and Air Jordan 3. And the Nike Air 180? Well, it’s no exception. This sneaker stands out as one of Nike’s trailblazing designs, featuring a sole inspired by a horseshoe and pioneering the integration of the Air unit into the outsole – a revolutionary concept at the time.

However, what truly makes it stand out are the vivid accents.
