These Nike Air Max 1 Magnista shoes cleverly update the traditional Air Max design that was first released in 1987 by infusing everyday streetwear style with athletic culture to give wearers a look that is classic yet sporty chic. The iconic, white Air Max 1 platform makes these kicks super comfortable to wear whether your kicking a soccer ball around a field or walking around the city. These sneakers come in a couple different color schemes that combine several bright colors in a fresh gradient look.
