In 1987 when Tinker Hatfield famously cut a hole in the side of the Air Max 1 exposing Nike Air, he wasn’t to know that this small act would cause a global revolution. An icon of innovation, the Air Max 1 is the hardest working running shoe ever, having logged more miles than Alberto Salazaar and Mary-Decker-Slaney combined. Other shoes get a little intimidated because this shoe is a big deal. It craves pavements, cement and asphalt and will not be stopped.
30 years later, the Air Max 1 spirit lives on, as Nike re-crafts this iconic shoe in the form of the Air Maxim 1, taking a classic shoe and applying new technologies to create a revolution all over again.
Join our ten South African Revolutionaries as they carry the spirit of the Air Max 1 forward in their work and their life, and the lead the charge into Cape/Burg.
These artists, musicians and athletes make their marks on the tracks, walls and streets of Cape Town and Johannesburg.
Welcome to Cape/Burg, which portrays each of them as they run through city that inspires, energises and engages them.
From Siphiwe Tshabalala – professional football player, to Katleho Shoro – poet, Musa Nxumalo – photographer, and Kwani Experience – performing artists, each one depicts their style of running the city.
The exclusive Nike Cape/Burg book is available at selected outlets, and for more information on the revolutionaries and Nike Air Max, visit www.nikesportswear.com
