This Nike Air Max 1 Custom Is Inspired By Traditional Japanese Sweets

Without a shadow of a doubt, some customisers make better sneakers than the brands themselves, and the Nike Air Max 1 'Wasgahi' by Chase Shiel is definitely one of them. Inspired by traditional Japanese sweets that are usually served with tea, their creation is seen as an art form in itself, and this custom aims to channel this inventiveness.

Featuring a premium nubuck and pigskin construction that's sourced directly from Japan, the 'Wagashi' is painted in a range of pastel tones, with green, blue, pink, and orange accents coming together to create a beautifully colour blocked look. Along the lateral and medial side panels, you'll find a luxe leather Swoosh that's embellished with a flower print - a shape that's often used when creating the traditional confectionary.

Down below, you'll find the classic Air midsole for comfort that's industry leading, and to round it all off, the AM1 comes with a set of translucent laces as well as six additional pairs, all wrapped inside a wooden gift box.

Set to be extremely limited, the Nike Air Max 1 'Wasgahi' will be available on Chase Shiel's website on October 20th. These shoes won't ever be made again, so if you want a pair you best get there nice and early! For the latest and greatest sneaker news, make sure you keep it locked at The Sole Supplier!
