The Nike Air Max 1 Is Back In Business, and Better Than Ever

As the first ever sneaker from the Air Max family to hit shelves, it will come as no surprise to most of you that the Nike Air Max 1 holds legendary status amongst sneakerheads. Designed by none other than Tinker Hatfield, the silhouette offers up timeless design and neat features that still manage to look great 35 years after the model’s inception. To celebrate this important milestone, the Swoosh brand has shifted a focus back onto the AM1, with plenty of brand-new colourways launching over the course of the year.

As we edge closer towards the festive season, the heat hasn’t slowed down, as even more brand-new Air Max 1 colourways are hitting the market. There’s a seriously impressive range of kicks floating about right now, and here at The Sole Supplier we’ve selected some of the finest variations that you can cop, so take a look at our picks below and stay tuned right here for all the latest footwear news!

The beauty of a silhouette that holds as much power as the Air Max 1 is that the silhouette can do all the talking, meaning that even the most minimal colourways still look on-point. A great example of this is the current “Burgundy Crush” AM1. Decked out in a deep-red hue from heel to toe, the kicks are crafted from premium leather and feature limited-edition details such as gold lace loops and elevated Nike Air Max branding. If you prefer your kicks toned-down yet still classy, then this is without a doubt the pair you’ve been yearning for!

Launching in a QS (quick-strike) fashion, the Nike AM1 “Obsidian” offers up a neat combination of dark green and blue hues set across a white base layer. QS releases are part of a tier system from the Swoosh, with this particular category of products launching only at approved retailers that maintain a close relationship with the brand. The kicks boast a mini-Swoosh on the toe box and embroidered Nike branding on the heels, while a gum-sole rounds off the look in a professional manner.

Last but by no means least, the recent Nike Air Max 1 “Sail Ironstone” offers up an irresistible look that’s been noticed by sneaker connoisseurs far and wide. With the uppers crafted from both suede and leather, the off-white design is accentuated by hits of brown and lime green for a well-considered colourway. Highlights here include a mini-Swoosh logo, altered tongue branding and a cream-hued midsole. Sat atop of the classic Nike Air Max cushioning system, these are also clearly capable of acting as daily beaters.
