The structural changes that the shoe has been through are captured in this cool infographic from Nike, which spans the shoe's first arrival to present day. Nuanced changes like the early switch from the mesh sidewall to the leather one are documented, as are more drastic ones like the wild height extensions of Riccardo Tisci's creations.
