Resparking the collaborative fire between fashion house Jacquemus and footwear giant Nike, the Air Max 1 is next-up.
Forming a creative alliance back in 2022, the pair have not held back on delivering heat that bridges the gap between sportswear and luxury. From the hybrid-on-steroids Nike J Force 1, to the one and only Swoosh Bag – when Jacquemus and Nike link up, it’s no short of magic.
Six months ago, enthusiasts of the partnership were teased with what seemed to be another sneaker collaboration, and now, we can officially get excited about it. Yes, you’ve guessed it, a designer Nike Air Max 1 is well underway, expressing three monochrome offerings. Keeping the classic ‘80s silhouette mostly recognisable, this premium take on a Swoosh classic is a self-proclaimed instant hit. Let’s get into the details!
‘Mystic Red’ (HM6690-600) / ‘Summit White’ (HM6690-100) / ‘Metallic Silver’ (TBC)
Starting off with a breathable mesh base, suede textile enters in the form of a mudguard and eyelets, allowing for a plush persona. On the lateral and medial sidewalls, where a pair of Swoosh once roamed, miniature logos sit in all their glory boasting a chrome finish – a touch also seen within previous iterations.
Another notable feature of the shoe takes place within the lower. True Air Max fans will probably have spotted it instantly. We’re talking about the Air unit, where the bubble opts for a square shape for the very first time in AM history. So yes – a pretty big deal.
Arriving with a special edition leather hangtag and exclusive packaging, the value of these kicks goes way beyond price. Reminding of who to thank for this dreamy offering, Jacquemus branding takes the limelight on the tongue and heel.
Although a release date for the Jacquemus x Nike Air Max 1 Collection is still under-wraps, we can expect them to land in the coming weeks at NIKE SNKRS, JACQUEMUS & SELECT STOCKISTS. Find stockists below…
