In perhaps the most curious bit of Nike Sportswear language since they named the electric blue Foamposite Pro’s signature color ‘Retro’, the Nike Air Maxim 1 seems to have its original meaning shifted. The initial Maxims added criss-crossing Flywire saddles for a modern feel, but all the pairs we’ve seen in 2013 have been more like premium drops. Following up on the APC collab we see a camouflage colorway in tribute to that brand’s home nation France that adds a Hyperfuse weld combining a synthetic mudguard with the traditionally stitched canvas upper. Together with an earthy colorway, this entirely novel mix of materials makes for one of the more intriguing AM1s of any name we’ve seen this year, so check out more images below and stick with Sneaker News for US release info, as the July 3rd launch is a Berlin exclusive.
