Nike Air Max 1 “Grand Piano” 2024 Returns May 2024

The Nike Air Max 1 “Grand Piano” is returning in 2024. Originally released in 2009 and sold at PHANTACi’s, only 400 pairs were available. This time around, the shoes will be a general release, with the first launch exclusively via PHANTACi on April 27 and a wider debut occurring on May 5, 2024.

Nike Sportswear is set to bring back a classic Air Max 1 from 2009. For 2024, the “Grand Piano” Nike Air Max 1 will return to retailers as a general release. This pair was originally released in 2009 exclusively at PHANTACi’s Taiwan store. Because they were released only at the Taiwanese store, they are so rare because only 400 pairs were released. For 2024, the brand will ensure plenty of sizes are available for the masses.

This classic Nike Air Max 1 is dressed in a White, Black, Metallic Gold, and Pink Rise color scheme. Resembling the first launch, it has Black and Gold patent leather on the panels and Pink Velvet across the liner. Unfortunately, the 2024 pair won’t have PHANTACi branded locks. However, they will come with two lace locks, one set in Black and the other in Pink. The clean look continues with White on the overlays, toe box, and midsole, Black on the labels, and Nike Air on the heels. Lastly, Pink runs across the rubber outsole to complete the design.
