Where to Buy the Nike Air Max 1 “Ugly Duckling” (Black/Honeydew)

Though it hasn’t been as prevalent a feature of other anniversaries past, Tinker Hatfield’s Air Max 1 has still enjoyed a solid run for its 35t year; But according to our retail sources, the back end of the year (and early into next) will be absolutely loaded with new colorways — including this new Air Max 1 “Ugly Duckling” (Black/Honeydew) revealed today by sources close to House of Heat, rumored to be inspired by the iconic “Ugly Duckling” Nike Dunk pack of 2001.

The first of two duck-riddled colorways to come, this initial effort sees a mix of Black, Anthracite, Honeydew, and Kumquat throughout its elegantly-built body. Here, supple black suedes provide the anchor point for the pair before layering on more suede of Kumquat across the guards and Anthracite over the midfoot. Honeydew Swooshes join the laces, and outsoles in hue, with the heel’s embroidered duck, also rendered in light green to complete the design.

Though a release date for this new Air Max 1 “Ugly Duckling” (Black/Honeydew) and its accompanying “Pecan”colorway has not yet been revealed, it is expected to hit shelves this Fall. Until then, enjoy an exclusive first look at the pair here below, and as always, keep your eyes glued to our official Twitter account for further updates on its release.

If you’re planning on picking up a pair on the day, make sure you head to our dedicated Nike Release Dates Calendar to set yourself a reminder for the drop.
