The Nike SB Air Trainer 1, which transitioned into a Nike SB model, was originally the very first Nike cross training shoe of all time. Somehow, the Air Trainer 1 returned in 2020, but did so completely under the radar. It only released at Nike SB accounts. We’re not sure why Nike made this a Nike SB accounts only release. All it did was prevent an absolutely awesome release from getting any mainstream love.
Luckily, Chris finally got his hands on a pair for a detailed look and review. He’s impressed (and you know that’s not easy). Click play above to see his full reaction and get a history lesson along the way.
