Patent Croc and Premium Tooling Come to the Air Max 1

A sneaker that has consistently evolved and adapted over its 36-year tenure, the revolutionary Air Max 1 has been making waves with a mix of original and modern makeovers over the past couple of years. As it approaches its thirty-seventh anniversary, the first Air Max silhouette is embracing opulence with a premium build — complete with patent croc skin.

The latest addition to the Air Max 1 family is the Air Max 1 LX, the luxurious rendition of Hatfield's performance-running masterpiece. True to its heritage, this upcoming pair showcases a clean and sophisticated design. A harmonious combination of off-white tones dominates the upper, setting the stage for the eye-catching "Team Red" accents adorning the profile swooshes and mudguards, complete with a textured croc skin indentation.

Beneath the feet, the iconic sole unit maintains a simple yet on-theme appearance. The Nike Air Max bubble and its foam surroundings boast a clean "White" finish, allowing the deep red elements above to take center stage. The waffle-patterned outsoles feature a "Light Gum Brown" finish, perfectly aligning with other Air Max releases' spring and summer vibes. The semi-translucent tooling adds a touch of intrigue, complementing the shimmering branding on the tongue's top.

Grab an official look at this premium pair below, and look for these to land on Nike.com on February 10, 2024, for $160.
