Air Max 1 '86

Dark Obsidian and University Red

The holy grail of sneaker lore returns, bringing with it the origin story of visible Nike Air. Using CT scans to dissect one of the original pairs of the Air Max 1 with the infamous "Big Bubble", we replicated the oversized Nike Air unit and window from '86 so you can step on the bedrock of sneaker history. (And don't worry—you get some throwback colour-blocking, too.)

Heritage
