[Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/university-gold-2) launched an exclusive pack of Air Max 1s for women this season with a unique update on its iconic [Swoosh](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snakeskin-colorway-2). Unlike its signature look, the new branding detail boasts an embroidered stripe design at the end, recalling a visual that imitates a consistent motion or paint stroke. The shoe's uppers are constructed from a tumbled leather and are thickly lined with mesh across the tongue and ankle collar.

The new motion-inspired Swoosh is seen on both the lateral and medial areas of the shoe. It all sits on top of a white [Max Air](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-craze) midsole and a gum outsole. The exclusive pack sees three colorways in total -- 'Guava Ice' light pink with multi-tonal stitching accents, 'Wheat' gold with Team Orange details and black with copper accents.
