Why This Nike Air Max 1 ’86 Is The Perfect Sneaker For Mets Fans This Postseason

OMG.

Why This Nike Air Max 1 ’86 Is The Perfect Sneaker For Mets Fans This Postseason

If you’re a fan of the boys in Flushing, Queens, you might’ve found your new sneakers to cheer on the squad during this incredible postseason run. The Air Max 1 ’86 is indeed returning to stores later this month, and although it has no connection to the Mets (nor does it have any actual blue on the shoe for that matter), the alignment of the franchise and the model might be more than coincidence.

As you know, this Air Max 1 model is a production version of an earlier sketch of Tinker Hatfield’s Air Max 1 that dates back to 1986. That also happens to be the exact year the Mets last won the championship. Meanwhile in the current postseason, the New York Mets just defeated the Milwaukee Brewers in an unthinkable come-from-behind fashion. Interestingly enough, throughout Milwaukee’s franchise postseason history, every team that has ever defeated them has gone on to advance to the World Series. What do the Brewers have to do with the Air Max 1? Absolutely nothing.

The ’86 connection alone is enough for the superstitious fans out there who will rely on any possible edge they can get. Swap in some royal blue laces, and you’ve got an ideal choice to root for the OMG Mets the rest of the way.

A release date is expected on October 17th, 2024, which is one week before Game 1 of the 2024 World Series begins.
