Nike Air Max 2003

Who needs leather or mesh uppers anyway?! The Nike Air Max 2003 (aka Air Max 03) did not have mesh or leather anywhere on the upper of the shoe - the first of any Nike Air Max.When Nike wanted to make yet another running shoe breakthrough, the Oregon based company went back to its roots and went to Japan for assistance. The Nike Air Max 2003 running shoe is built from a high-tech carbon-based fiber manufactured by a Japanese company called Teijin.
