Nike is set to take sneakerheads on an interactive journey with the release of the Nike Air Max 1 Low Poly “Adventure”, a special edition inspired by the legendary Tomb Raider franchise. But this isn’t just a typical drop—you’ll need to earn your chance to cop a pair.

Release Details

Starting February 24, 2025, at 10 AM PST, fans can visit swoosh.nike to participate in a virtual quest through Nike’s .SWOOSH platform. The challenge involves solving three puzzles, designed to test your wit and gaming skills. Successfully completing the mission grants early access to purchase the “Adventure” colorway on SNKRS beginning February 26, 2025.

The sneaker’s design pays tribute to the iconic Lara Croft aesthetic. Featuring a Cannon green mudguard and Swoosh, paired with Neutral Grey and White overlays, the palette echoes the rugged explorer look. A gum brown sole completes the adventure-ready vibe, offering both durability and a retro touch.

Adding a layer of nostalgia, the insoles feature an Easter egg referencing retro gaming cheat codes: “Forward, Black, Left 3 Times, Backwards Jump”—a nod to the original Tomb Raider game released in 1996.

Priced at $150 USD and available in unisex sizing from 3.5 to 18, the Nike Air Max 1 Low Poly “Adventure” merges sneaker culture with gaming history.

While rumors swirled about a Donkey Kong Country-themed Air Max 1, Nike confirmed it is not part of the .SWOOSH program.

Ready to play? The quest begins soon—secure your pair before they’re lost to the depths of sneaker history.
