Nike Air Max 1 86 "Metallic Silver" FV7477-002

Drawing from the archives, the Nike Air Max 1 ’86 “Metallic Silver” celebrates one of Nike’s pivotal stories: the introduction of visible Air cushioning. When the Air Max 1 first launched, it featured a significantly larger Air unit window. However, this design had to be altered due to the Air unit’s tendency to crack in cold temperatures, leading Nike engineers to discreetly reduce the window’s size.

This updated version brings back the “Big Bubble” edition, showcasing a Metallic Silver and Cool Grey colour scheme. The debossed branding on the tongue and heel adds a refined touch, while the larger Air unit window pays homage to the original design that captivated many.

The combination of modern materials and retro design elements ensures that the Air Max 1 ’86 is both functional and visually appealing. The Metallic Silver upper, paired with Cool Grey accents, offers a sleek look that stands out. The updated Air unit not only provides enhanced cushioning but also stays true to the innovative spirit of the original.

Whether you’re an Air Max fan or new to the line, the Nike Air Max 1 ’86 “Metallic Silver” brings a piece of history to your feet, blending past and present seamlessly. This edition honours the legacy of the Air Max 1 while incorporating advancements that ensure durability and comfort for today’s wearers.

Experience the evolution of visible Air technology with the Nike Air Max 1 ’86 “Metallic Silver” FV7477-002. This trainer is ready to carry you forward, keeping the heritage of Nike Air alive underfoot.
