Nike's Classic Air Max 1 Premium Receives a 'Triple Anthracite' Iteration

— November 8, 2018 — Fashion
Nike gives one of its signature sneaker silhouettes a tonal makeover entitled the 'Triple Anthracite' -- the Air Max 1 Premium receives a new soft gray palette as the latest addition to the roster. The retro sneaker model is complete in an all-over tonal design that coats the entire upper, lacing system, branding detail, midsole, and patchwork in the exact same hue.

The uppers get a soft makeover with a completion of suede fabric materials and some contrasting accents come in through subtle infusions of black nylon. This darker tone lines the model and the outsole differentiates slightly with its dark gray finish. The Triple Anthracite Air Max 1 Premium sneakers are now available for purchase at Caliroots and at select retail locations.
