Nike introduces a new summer colorway to its roster with vibrant hints of yellow that details its iconic Air Max 1 sneaker model for the season. The shoe made its original debut back in 1987 and has since garnered global attention and a slew of color palettes. It takes a simplistic angle this time around, updated with bright hints of yellow and new blended materials.
It features white as the base foundation and has a tumbled leather material that makes up the mudguard and Swoosh branding along with white tumbled leather. This section overlays on top of the white mesh base for a touch of breathability during the warmer seasons of the year. Yellow also marks the tongue and it all has a gray outsole foundation.
