Michael Le History, as they say, tends to repeat itself — this is true not only of the world but also of Nike, who are constantly bringing back many of their most iconic releases. This continues in 2023 with the Air Max 1 ’86 “Big Bubble,” which reminds us what the Tinker Hatfield-designed classic looked like during its original production run.
Following several teasers over the course of the last few weeks, official images of the forthcoming Nike Air Max 1 ’86 “Big Bubble” have finally surfaced. Likely to make a grand appearance for Air Max Day later this month, the colorway echoes the silhouette’s OG look, with red painting the upper’s mudguard, Swoosh, and topmost eyelets. The rest of the construction indulges entirely in neutrals: the mesh inserts proffer a bleached white, matching the midsole as well as the laces, while the suede overlays opt for a light grey.
Sat atop a slightly retooled bottom, one whose Air Unit is near double the size of what’s currently on the shelves, the Nike Air Max 1 ’86 “Big Bubble” is expected to make its debut later this March. In the meantime, take a peek at the official images ahead.
In other news, the Travis Scott Air Jordan 1 Low Olive is set to drop next month.
