Coming fresh off its 35th Anniversary last year (2022), the celebration of the iconic Tinker Hatfield-designed Air Max 1 seems to continue into 2023 with several new color options as well as new takes on classics like a new version of the “Keep Rippin Stop Slippin” release. We’ve also got introduced to Nike’s latest “Athletic Department” collection this year, which will now include the Air Max 1.

Dressed in a White, Black Forest, Neutral Grey, and Varsity Maize color scheme. This offering of the Nike Air Max 1 comes constructed in a mix of materials. It features a White mesh base with Grey suede overlays at the vamp and midfoot panel, Black nubuck mudguards and leather Swooshes with a nylon material used along the collars. Highlighting the shoe are Yellow (Varsity Maize) contrasting accents on the upper eyelets, tongue branding, insoles, and portion of the rubber outsole. A Golden “Nike Air” embroidery on the heels with “Athletic Department” branding stamped onto the insoles atop an aged-like midsole and Black and Maize rubber outsole completes the design. The shoe will be available in men’s sizing.
