Jovani Hernandez Throughout 2020, the Nike Air Max 1 has been back in the spotlight – after some time out of circulation – via impressive general and special takes. Ahead of DENHAM‘s limited-to-6,800-pairs collaboration, the ’87 silhouette has emerged in a colorful arrangement ostensibly inspired by trail-ready gear.
The Air Max 1‘s mixed-materials upper is slightly tweaked for durability, as signature mudguards boast a canvas-like construction. While overlays across the throat and at the heel of the shoe also indulge in the coarse cloth, they sport more vibrant yellow and blue hues. Midfoot swaths deviate from the strong textile build in favor of a premium suede in a burnt orange tone reminiscent of vintage ACG apparel. Branding throughout and rope laces on this Air Max option further evoke functionality and aesthetics from Nike’s more outdoors-oriented footwear. Underfoot, midsoles don a Moc 3.0-like speckling, though with a more robust palette; Airbags go green, while outsoles divvy up all the aforementioned hues.
A release date is still unknown, but this multi-color Air Max 1 is likely to arrive to Nike.com by next season. In the meantime, enjoy official images of the pair here below.
