Matt Varga What’s your lasting memory of the Pittsburgh Steelers stadium? Is it Troy Polamalu blowing up offensive plays or the scene in Dark Knight Rises that still fits most of that description? If you’ve got strong affiliations for either of those applications of the black & yellow, the Nike Air Max 1 “Batman” is tailor-made for you, relying on an sleek two-tone arrangment for its colorway.
The caped crusader’s classic logo is why we draw the connection here, especially with the dominant real estate that black takes up on the upper. Yellow is then relegated to just an accent shade, but the sheer contrast it brings atop the monochromatic base here lets it stand out all the same. That sunny shade blares out from the Swoosh, the very tip of the outsole and the Nike Air branding at the rear. While it departs from the typical neutral grey colorways, iterations on the “University Red” & “Game Royal” OGs, this pair certainly still carries some timeless character with its easily digestible overall palette.
Check Nike.com and local retailers in the coming weeks for the Nike Air Max 1 “Batman,” retailing at $140.
