Taking advantage of the fact that those colors of our national flag overlap with those of their state flag is this new Nike Air Max 1 joint from Dank Customs. It’s not a mere USA color-up either, the upper puts on some elephant print that may or may not be a little GOP shoutout.

Volt and Black has always been an icon of Air Max kicks, but not so much before the year 1995 when the Air Max 95 debuted the ground-breaking colorway.
