I did mention the visible air unit in my first post on the matter. That's a design aesthetic, not really a technological advancement, and had already appeared on the AM1 a year earlier. And I specifically mentioned the Revolution (which also came out in '87) in my last post.
But I realize I'm talking to a brick wall here in
vettez06
who doesn't understand the difference between stylistic design elements and performance technology so I'm just going to leave my dude be. Let's all just move on and enjoy the shoes.
You're too uninformed and uneducated on Nike to be on a Nike forum acting as if you have any sort of knowledge to teach or question anyone.
Nike's Air Sole Unit is their sneaker technology that helped catapult them to into the position they're talking today.
Jordan 1's and 2's had Air Sole Units, visible Air Sole Units are literally there to show you the technology.
Nike Air
Nike Air was the first air technology developed at Nike, and it changed the way people thought about cushioning. It remains a standard for impact protection more than 20 years after its creation. The Nike Air made from pressurized gas inside a tough yet flexible urethane plastic capsule. The large molecules of gas prevent it from escaping the bag. The Air-Sole units are encapsulated in the midsole beneath the heel, forefoot, or in both locations depending on the shoe and the needs of the athlete for whom the shoe was designed. The Air-Sole works to cushion the foot by compressing and reduces the force of the impact and then immediately recovers its original shape, ready for the next impact.
WHAT IS NIKE AIR?
Nike Air is our iconic innovation that uses pressurized air in a durable, flexible membrane to provide lightweight cushioning. The air compresses on impact and then immediately returns to its original shape and volume, ready for the next impact. We
debuted Nike Air in 1979, and we've been continuously evolving and improving it ever since.
Today we use Nike Air in a variety of performance shoes (like
running and
basketball), as well as in many
lifestyle sneakers—because you don’t have to be chasing a victory to benefit from walking on air.

Nike Air Sole Units and Zoom Air are Nike's cushioning, they're cushioning technology.
That's it. I don't have anymore jokes or sarcasm for you because now I understand that you're clueless.
I'll no longer be able to speak to you about this because you literally have no idea what you're talking about.
Have a great evening.
wasn‘t even alive to witness the greatness of a brand new pair in ‘88.
