This mix of Hyper Blue and light Green is definitely something out of the earlier Air Max catalogs – specifically the turn of the decade going in the 1990s when Nike really punched things up with neon tones. There certainly has been no shortage of Air Max 1s in 2013 though, but if you’re the choosy type, this new release might be perfect as it features the basic combo of suede mudguards and mesh toe-boxes, complete with Dark Grey and aforementioned Green.

The underrated Nike Air Max 1 EM has surprised us all – even the most strict purists of the hobby who don’t pay any attention to shoes that aren’t in their original state. Engineered Mesh on a classic model from 1987 doesn’t add up to be a sound fit, but the folks at NSW have managed to do a great job in creating the signature silhouette using the intricate weaves of mesh on the upper, and the awesome gradient of orange to yellow to achieve the “Sunrise” effect (some have called it “Sunset”, which is also correct depending on which way you look at it) adds the perfect punch of color. A release date hasn’t been set firmly, but cop now from antique-tb on eBay.
