The Nike Air Max Plus released in 1998, and was the first running shoe to contain Nike?s Tuned Air System. The way the Nike Tuned Air System broke down: two polymer hemispheres that hit into each other, resulting to absorb shock. Another nickname for the Nike Air Max Plus is Nike TN1 or Air Tuned. Like previously stated, at its early stage the United States took on to them, but this model is a favorite in Europe.
