Retail: $150 | Style Code: DO9844-101
Release Date: March 22nd, 2024

On Air Max Day, we're reinvigorating an icon with the Air Max 1 ’86, delving into one of Nike's monumental narratives: the introduction of visible Air technology. Yet, a lesser-known detail is that initially, the Air Max 1 showcased a larger air window. However, due to the risk of cracking in cold weather, Nike engineers swiftly adapted, creating a new Air unit and discreetly reducing the window's size. Fortunately, advancements have left the bubble-bursting concerns of the '80s behind.

For Air Max enthusiasts, the Royal Blue, White, and Neutral Grey color scheme remains as captivating today as it was decades ago. The breezy textiles in the upper, paired with a White foam midsole, offer enduring comfort. The signature Royal Blue branding contrasts elegantly against the classic backdrop, paying homage to '86. This "Big Bubble" edition commemorates the inception of visible Nike Air, ensuring its legacy continues beneath your feet as you move forward.
