The Nike Air Max 1 has been a staple in the sneaker world since its introduction in 1987, and the swoosh continues to deliver fresh colorways that keep enthusiasts coming back for more. Despite the recent focus on the redesigned ’86 model, the ’87 version remains the first choice for many Air Max aficionados. Over the past 18 months, patient collectors have been rewarded with a flurry of releases, often securing pairs well below MSRP.
Looking ahead to summer 2024, Nike shows no signs of slowing down the Air Max 1 production line. A slew of new colorways are set to drop in the second quarter of the year, including the “Field Purple” edition that adheres to the classic look and feel that Air Max 1 enthusiasts have come to love. This sleeper hit features suede mudguards, tumbled leather quarters, sport mesh and matching accents on the outsole toe – a combination that is sure to please even the most discerning sneaker connoisseur.
While some may draw comparisons to Patta’s 2009 denim twill masterpiece, the Field Purple colorway stands alone as a testament to the timeless appeal of the Air Max 1. The rich purple hue is both eye-catching and versatile, making it a perfect addition to any sneaker rotation.
As with all Air Max 1 releases, the attention to detail is unsurpassed. From the premium materials to the iconic visible Air unit in the heel, every aspect of the shoe has been carefully considered to ensure maximum comfort and style.
The Nike Air Max 1 “Field Purple” is available now for $150 via Nike.com and select retailers.
