Celebrating its 35th anniversary in 2022, the iconic Nike Air Max 1 witnessed a revival with the renowned “Big Bubble” version. This extraordinary iteration boasts an enlarged Air unit, distinguishing it from the standard model. Set to make a comeback in the beloved “USA” (Obsidian) colorway, the sneaker’s return is scheduled for the onset of Fall 2023.
Adorned in a palette of White, Obsidian, and Light Neutral Grey, the classic color scheme melds seamlessly. The combination showcases White mesh along with overlays of Obsidian and Natural Grey suede. The mesh takes center stage around the toe box and collar, while the mudguard and the distinctive Nike Swoosh adopt Obsidian suede for their crafting. Injecting a touch of vibrancy, Red TPU eyestays catch the eye. Notably, the Nike Air branding on the heel commands attention with its bold Red hue, exuding a patriotic “USA” vibe. The design culminates with a White midsole that houses the hallmark “Big Bubble” Air unit in the heel, resting atop a rubber outsole bedecked in patriotic hues.
Anticipated for release on September 9, 2023, the Nike Air Max 1 ’86 OG “USA” will be available through select NBHD retailers, both in-store and online, including Nike.com. Sized for men, this much-awaited sneaker will bear a price tag of $150 USD.
In summary, the Nike Air Max 1 ’86 OG “USA” revival celebrates its storied history by reimagining the “Big Bubble” edition. This iconic sneaker continues to captivate sneaker enthusiasts and pays homage to its heritage with a dash of contemporary flair.
