Nike introduces the latest iteration of the signature Air Max 1 sneaker model with the Somos Familia colorway palette. This design celebrates Latin Heritage Month with the ongoing Somos Familia collection starting with the vibrant look. It blends together hues of Pale Vanilla with Orange across the upper.
The construction highlights a burlap textile that is paired together with suede to elevate the classic shoe. Additional details include the embossed emblems that are applied to resemble the look of the sun seen along the mudguard panel and the butterfly that is embroidered along the heels. It all rests on top of a slightly clear Gum rubber outsole unit and the collection's branding details the insole.
