"Light Iron Ore" and "Total Orange" Arrive on the Air Max 1

In a year already marked by an impressive array of releases, Nike plans to crown 2023 with a special edition Air Max 1, a testament to the brand's ceaseless innovation and the silhouette's enduring appeal. While initial speculations hinted at a sequel to the famed “Keep Rippin’ Stop Slippin” from 2008, this upcoming gem carves its path, showcasing a sophisticated mix of materials and a keen attention to detail.

Bathed in a “Light Iron Ore” hue, the sneaker's upper is a masterclass in textural harmony. The journey begins with the soft suede caressing the mudguard, leading to the robust elegance of tumbled leather at the quarter. Not to be outshined, the Swoosh makes its statement in a subtle crinkle-textured fabric, bringing an understated contrast to the composition. Reminiscent of the cozy warmth of the “Toasty” series, a stitch-quilted feature lends the design a touch of home-spun luxury.

However, it's underneath where a playful twist lies in wait. Peer through the translucent 'Total Orange' outsole, and you're greeted with an audacious, oversized Swoosh, a cheeky nod to the brand’s iconic emblem.

Grab a detailed look at the pair below, and look for these to arrive on Nike.com on November 12th for $160.
