[Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-brown) introduces the Crepe Hemp series once again this year in celebration of the [Air Max 1](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cave-stone-colorway) sneaker model and its 35th year anniversary. Diving into its archives, the original shoe was made from a burlap material, accompanied by tan leather details overlaying on top and brown soft suede at the mudguard.

This year, it takes on a very similar theme with a blend of medium brown accented by mint foam, mushroom, and muslin. The Swoosh on the lateral side of the shoe is designed in a bright pop of contrast with aqua blue makeup. It sits on top of a white midsole foundation and gum tonal crepe rubber outsole unit to round out the entire design.
