Description
Nike rolls out another ‘Timeless’ edition that will run alongside the meme-worthy Zoom Vomero 5 ‘Timeless Dunk’. Now added to the list of strap-bearing Nike footwear is the coveted Air Max 1, which is getting the functional feature for the first time ever! New isn’t always better though, as this change is sure to have fans of the silhouette doing a double take. While this may seem like an odd move on Nike’s part, the brand does have a successful history of strapped footwear, just think back to the Air Trainer 1 that was highlighted alongside the AM1 in Nike’s infamous Air commercial from 1988. There are surely more ‘Timeless’ hybrids yet to come, but are we liking what we’ve seen so far? Does the strap throw off the feng shui for what many sneakerheads consider to be perfect?
The ‘Timeless’ edition is constructed from white leather and mesh, with darkened panel edges that carry a vintage feel. On the rear, a Nike Air logo is printed on in silver, its ‘80s font style echoing the Air Force 1 High, the featuring silhouette that has been spliced on to create this ‘Timeless’ edition. Perforations on the toe box adopt the sunburst layout, as well as the two small perforations under the Swoosh are two more details added onto this hybrid, subtle changes that are instantly recognisable among true footwear fanatics. Of course, the most distinctive change is the addition of the grey strap, nodding to the ‘80s Air Force 1 High, and not the Air Ship or Vandal High that some sneakerheads originally thought. On the inside, a deformed pocket watch is printed onto the insole in black, a key detail that runs throughout the ‘Timeless’ series.
This hybrid version of the Air Max 1 is sure to spark interest for those sneakerheads who’ve had a history with the silhouette. Are these a must-cop or are you staying as far away as you can? For more details on this ‘Timeless’ iteration, keep it locked to The Sole Supplier!
