We saw the return of the ‘Big Bubble’ Air Max 1 for Air Max Day 2023 launched in the original ‘University Red’ colorway. This classic model launched in 1986 and was part of the original production run. In 1987, we saw the release of the Air Max 1, which used a smaller Air Max unit. 2023 will give us new colorways of the iconic silhouette, officially known as the Air Max 1 ’86. After showcasing the ‘Smokey Mauve’ iteration, we now look ahead at the upcoming ‘Light Armory Blue’ colorway.
This variation of the Nike Air Max 1 features a Football Grey, Dark Obsidian, Light Armory Blue, and Medium Soft Pink color combination. Utilizing Indigo Haze suede on the overlays, Diffused Blue on the Swoosh logos, and mudguard with Sail mesh on the toes. Next, we have the traditional Nike branding throughout, including embroidery on the heels, tongue labels, and insoles. Highlighting the shoes is a larger Air Max unit in the heel. Finishing the look is a White midsole and a Blue rubber outsole.
