— March 24, 2022 — Fashion
New York-based creative studio Ceeze has partnered with Brooklyn restaurant Elite Williamsburg and D’ussé Cognac to launch a Notorious B.I.G.-inspired Air Max 1 for Air Max Day 2022 called the Ceeze x Nike Coogi Air Max 1.

Limited to just 22 models, Ceeze has designed an Air Max 1 that borrows directly from Biggie's personal style. The sneaker features a white base dressed with a reworked vintage "Coogi" sweater material, which is woven into its mid panels. In addition, the sneaker features white nappa overlays, a lambskin inner liner, light tan canvas underlays, washed-out gold stitching, and embroidered branding.

For those interested, the Ceeze x Nike “Coogi” Air Max 1 is set to be released on March 26 and will be available on Ceeze's website.
