Nike has never been afraid to Tinker with their classics. Their latest crossover has seen the Beaverton-based brand tweak two of Mr. Hatfield’s most important and significant sneaker creations, the Air Max 1 and the Huarache, with each pair wearing the other’s OG colorways. The debut University Red/Scream Green pack hit retailers throughout Asia last July, and will finally see a Stateside release this month— but before we even get there, a second Nike DNA 87 x 91 Crossover Pack has appeared, this time honoring the OG Sport Royal Air Max 1 and OG Purple Punch Hurarche
Both designed by sneaker God Tinker Hatfield, the Air Max 1 and Air Huarache once again swap OG colorways, materials and outsole blockings for two homage-riddled releases. The Air Max 1 arrives in the Huarache’s “Purple Punch” colorway, complete with neoprene underlays, tongues, liners, and toe boxes, and plastic heel clip overlays. The Huarache honors the OG Air Max 1 “Royal” by utilizing a white mesh toe box, overlayed by red suede, as well as grey nubuck midfoot overlays and Air Max 1-blocked outsole.
Take a peep at both sneakers in detail below, and expect these to also arrive with special-edition packaging and other cross-branded goodies like socks, printed materials and more. A release date is yet to be set for this follow-up Nike DNA 87 x 91 Crossover Pack is yet to be revealed, but we’ll be sure to keep you up to date with release details and store lists over on our Twitter feed when more info drops.
