Matt Varga As we’ve noted before, the red carpet rollout for the Nike Air Max 95 30th anniversary has belied an arguably more consequential benchmark for the Nike Air Max 1, capping off 40 years of enduring street validity. Perhaps it’s only right that this is the tenor that Tinker Hatfield’s design has captured, celebrating its fourth decade of that accessibility by banking on the understated yet still invincibly stylish appeal it has for the three preceding.
In that way, the Nike Air Max 1 “Evergreen Aura” is a perfect anniversary gift, a slight tint on the “Sport Red”/”Game Royal” scheme that’s been shorthand in the sneaker community for a generation plus. Purists will no doubt note that the palette swap also comes with a material swap, shifting to leather on the Swoosh, heel counter, and mudguard. For wider audiences, it’s a change that means increased durability, perfect if you’re planning on making this sprightly edition a mainstay of the summer rotation.
As a true GR, the Nike Air Max 1 “Evergreen Aura” should touch down on Nike.com and via retailers without much advance warning. Keep your eyes on our Sneaker Release Dates hub as the Fall 2025 season kicks off for updates; a $145 MSRP is expected.
