A brand new Air Max silhouette inspired by the one that started it all. The Nike Air Max Motif arrives 35 years after the first Air Max model, the Nike Air Max 1, hit the market. This Nike Air Max Motif (BG) “Grey Fog Yellow” comes in bright hues of yellow; while lighting up the rather neutral body.
2022 marks the 35th anniversary of Air Max technology, and Nike’s not missing out on anything to celebrate the occasion. Aside from the XXXV Air Max collection, the new Nike Air Max Motif pays a nod to 35 years of innovation. This new pair for kids boasts obvious Air Max 1 similarities.
Born in 1987, the Nike Air Max 1 completely changed the way we see sneakers. While the next few models revolutionised Air Max, it was the very first model that made it all possible. 35 years later, the Nike Air Max Motif is a brand new 2022 model inspired by the first Air Max.
The Nike Air Max Motif features a textile mesh base with suede overlays reminiscent of the OG Air Max. Aesthetic such as the wavy suede mudguard on the toe, midfoot Swoosh, and the dual lace loops scream Air Max 1 in every way. With the Nike Sunburst logo found on the sockliner, the model is presumably made with recycled content.
A soft foam midsole makes up the lower portion of the shoe; a modern 2090 Air Max unit in the heel provides more cushioning and comfort underfoot.
A modified waffle traction sole with multiple flex grooves allows better mobility and grip.
This Older Kids’ Nike Air Max Motif (BG) “Grey Fog Yellow” arrives in an all-Grey textile base with hints of Metallic Silver on the Swooshes. Yellow accents cover the suede mudguard, plastic lace loops, Air Max label on the heel, and some parts of the midsole seen through the translucent sole.
Because of the huge similarities, expect a lot of love for this new silhouette. Nike’s celebrating Air Max Month the right way and we’re here for it!
A true definition of a modern retro, the Nike Air Max Motif is available now on the Nike website.
