The Nike Air Max 1 “Black Green” Pays Homage to a 2007 Grail

The Nike Air Max 1 returns with a sharp new look that echoes a classic without trying to copy it. While it doesn’t carry the cracked detailing from the iconic 2007 HUFquake, it borrows the attitude. There’s no mistaking the influence once that green hits the Swoosh.

A black base anchors the shoe. Smooth suede and mesh run across the upper, giving it that low-profile finish. The Electric Green accents take over the Swoosh, heel, tongue branding, and Air unit, throwing just enough contrast to make each part pop.

There’s no official tie-in, but fans of the older release will clock the similarities right away. It’s not trying to be the HUFquake. It’s doing its own thing—simpler, cleaner, and this time, more accessible. This release also debuts in kids’ sizing, offering a lane the original never did.

Even without the cracked overlays, the nods are clear. From the palette to the placement, the “Black/Green Strike” Air Max 1 offers an understated tribute that feels fresh without forcing the reference. It’s a welcome addition to the Air Max 1 lineup—stealthy, energetic, and easy to wear.
