In 1991 Nike came up with the idea of how to contain even more Air unit on its shoe. And due to this reason, these sneakers have the 180 moniker, since they contain 50% more Air than the Air Max 90. These shoes made by Tinker Hatfield and Bruce Kilgore were also the first collaboration project between Nike and Kanye West. Should there was no Nike 180, there would never be models such as the Yeezy 2 SP Red October. The OG Ultramarine colorway was also favorited by Michael Jordan back in the days of the famous "Dream Team" of Barcelona '92.
