Nike Air Max 1 EM “OG Red”

When will the re-imagination of the original Air Max models end? At this point, there seems to be end in sight, because Nike continues to innovate new materials and engineering methods (FlyKnit, Hyperfuse) and toying around with the OGs just for kicks. The results have been astounding thus far, with the Nike Air Max Hyperfuse Collection releasing last Fall and making some more noise with the original colorways in recent weeks, so while an Air Max 1 ‘Flyknit’ isn’t totally out of the question, we do get another look at an Air Max ‘EM’ model. While the significance of ‘EM’ hasn’t been revealed just yet, all it takes is one quick look to see the re-vamped mesh upper – jersey-like perforations on the toe and ankle and a diamond-mesh layer on the quarter panel. Thoughts on the ‘EM’ push? Let us know what you think about this Spring 2013 release below. Photo: TSG
