As the excitement for the 2024 Summer Olympic Games builds, Nike is set to honor this global sports spectacle with the release of the Air Max 1 "Olympic" edition, as per Sole Retriever.
The "Olympic" edition of the Air Max 1 celebrates the shared podium that is athletic excellence and sneaker culture. It features a color palette of obsidian, metallic gold, white, light smoke grey, and university red, perfectly capturing the American spirit of inevitable Olympic Gold.
The design adheres to the OG-style color blocking, with the shoe's upper combines white mesh underlays and grey suede overlays, offering a classic and clean look. The obsidian-colored mudguard, made of the same luxurious suede, contrasts the design deeply. The shoe is further accentuated with subtle red highlights on the top plastic eyelets, tongue tag, back heel, and insoles, paying homage to the traditional Olympic colors.
The standout feature of this edition is the metallic gold Swoosh that adorns the sides, symbolizing the pursuit of excellence and victory synonymous with the Olympic Games. This element of elegance is echoed in the heel's visible Max Air unit, also finished in metallic gold. A crisp white midsole and solid rubber outsole round off the design underfoot.
