Without a shadow of a doubt, the Air Max 1 flaunts one of the most legendary trainer designs in history. However, for the upcoming Nike Air Max 1 “Obsidian Royal,” the American sportswear company is giving the classic look a contemporary update that sneakerheads both old and new will definitely be able to appreciate.
At its core, this AM1 stays true to the iconic Air Max design. It features a crisp white mesh base that provides extra breathability and comfort, and the overlays are adorned with tumbled leather and suede, contributing to the shoe’s durability and premium feel. But the standout detail has got to go to the shiny metallic lines that run around the mudguard and heel. While this detail is quite subtle, it’s very effective, giving the sneaker a distinct vibe that sets it apart from more conventional models.
A “Royal Blue” Nike Swoosh glides across the lateral and medial sidewalls, while “Green Strike” accents venture towards the top eyelets. This striking hue also makes its way to the Air bubble, that’s slotted perfectly into the heel of the midsole.
The Nike Air Max 1 GS “Obsidian Royal” is the ultimate fusion of the past and the present. At this moment in time, this colourway has been made exclusively for kids, but expect some adult versions to hit shelves in 2024. If you want a pair, make sure you keep it locked at Captain Creps for your best chance to cop!
