Nike Air Max 1 86 OG USA

One of the most beloved Air Max 1 colourways returns after making its last appearance in 2017. The Nike Air Max 1 ‘86 arrives now and then, but Nike consistently treats fans with high-heat colourways since debuting in the Air Max Day 2023 celebration. This “USA” colourway, also called the “Obsidian”, first emerged in golf form a few months ago, serving as a precursor to this highly-anticipated four-window Big Bubble edition. The colour scheme takes its name from the United States patriotic colours of white, red, and navy blue for a fresh design approach. This colourway is a must to the collection, regardless of whether you’re a long-time Air Max fan or a new sneakerhead looking to cop your first AM1.

There are plenty of USA-themed styles across Nike’s vast footwear selections, often dropping during the country’s Independence Day celebration. However, variants like the Air Jordan 7 “Olympic” and this Air Max 1 rendition cemented their spots in sneaker history because of their timeless aesthetics, masterfully designed by the legendary Tinker Hatfield. This colourway first came out in ‘88, blending the contrasting colour palette of red and navy blue atop an all-white mesh base and light grey midfoot overlays. More navy blue accents envelop the suede mudguard and Swoosh, while vibrant hits of red adorn the Nike branding, plastic eyelet, sockliner, and toe portion of the rubber outsole. The clean white PU midsole houses a visible large-volume Nike Air unit in the heel, providing superior cushioning and bouncy comfort underfoot. Wrapping up the design of these iconic kicks is the signature waffle sole.

These are set to sell out fast among eager collectors so hit that reminder bell and don’t be caught slipping. Find out where you can grab this pair of Nike Air Max 1 ’86 OG “USA”, make sure to keep it tuned to The Sole Supplier!
