Показать описание
Episode 2 of your weekly Sneaker and Sports culture insights from Sole Knowledge
Like many Sneakers which will be discussed by Sole Knowledge, The Nike Air Safari stands out as pioneer within the context of its time.
Throughout the decades of Nikes product design, some years eclipse others when it comes to innovation and pure design excellence. One year is particular is 1987.
This year ushered in the:
Air Max One - Nikes 1st shoe to feature the visible Nike Air technology in the midsole.
Air Trainer 1 - The worlds 1st Cross Training shoe.
Air Safari - Nikes 1st sneaker to.......
All of these innovations were brought to light by designing savant Tinker Hatfield.
Tinkers inspiration for the Air Safari took him to New York where he visited a high end furniture store. Among all of the oddities and extravagant pieces, Tinker sees a couch made of Ostrich leather.
The opulence of the couches details and the textures of the Ostrich leather gets Tinker wondering...."What if a running shoe was to be made of such luxury?" The idea was to create a running shoe that was not meant for the marathon, but rather a luxurious product meant to be envied and proud to show off. This was the though that set the ball in motion for the Air Safari.
The Finished Product had several noteworthy features:
The Upper:
When looking at the final result of the Air Safari, you see its most prominent feature is the unique print which has now been named "The Safari Print". This print was Tinkers interpretation of the Ostrich Leather and was a unique new design aesthetic which set the Air Safari apart from any sneaker in 1987.
Secondly, Tinker replaced all traditional mesh components with leather. This departure from tradition entrenches the fact that the Air Safari was not designed for performance. It was running inspired but no longer a runner.
The Midsole:
The Midsole would still remain as the full running spec for comfort. Tinker still maintained the compression molded EVA midsole for comfort along with Nike Air included for additional cushioning.
The Outsole:
The Outsole would still remain with the full running spec, using Nikes iconic waffle outsole for maximum traction without the addition of too much weight.
The Air Safari was Nikes 1st sneaker to explore the idea of a product which is Sports Inspired. Today the sports inspired footwear and apparel industry is worth billions of dollars to all brands and the Air Safari is genesis of this revolution.
