Liquid Metal Footwear

The Holiday Air Max 1 SP Editions are Luxuriously Festive

Ugly sweaters and Santa hats, move over, the Nike 2014 Holiday Air Max 1 SP Liquid Metal Pack is here. Although not traditionally festive, the sneakers add a sparkle to people's outfits that will recall Christmas lights and tinsel. What makes these Holiday Air Max 1 designs extra special is the fact that they can be worn well into the New Year. People won't have to pack them away from their decorations or winter wardrobe.

The Holiday Air Max 1's may have been released earlier this year in sizes for women, but sizes for men have just been launched. Available in silver and gold coloring, the footwear is finished with white lining and matching soles. In addition to the iconic swoop, they are branded with their respective periodic table-inspired elemental symbols on the tongue.
