Andrew Rizzo If Nike ever decides to release a “Grinch” Air Max 1 colorway, it might look something like this. Slap some red laces on these joints and you get a shoe that takes after that iconic Kobe 6 colorway, defined by a liberal use of highlighter-like neon greens throughout.
Beaverton designers crank up the saturation to produce an undeniably “in your face” look here, despite familiar color blocking and materials. The mudguard, Swoosh, and tongue/heel branding make bold statements in “Vapor Green,” while a “Barely Volt” base adds subtle contrast. In maintaining the vibrant ensemble, the midsole opts for “Green Strike” while a mostly black outsole works in more green hits.
The “Grinch” moniker isn’t an official nickname by any means, and if Nike were to actually release a Kobe x Air Max 1, we’d most definitely see unique features like snakeskin at the very least. In any case, the delivery stands to draw eyes from all those with a penchant for bright, neon footwear, a niche that’s grown considerably largely thanks to high fashion labels in recent years.
Enjoy official images of the Nike Air Max 1 “Vapor Green/Barely Volt-Black-Green Strike” below and look for these to hit retailers in Fall 2024 for $140.
