Even though Phil Knight and Bill Bowerman founded Nike back in 1964, it wasn’t actually called “Nike” until 1972. Since then, the American sportswear company has become the most valuable fashion brand in the world, but that doesn’t mean that it’s forgotten about where it came from. In fact, this year, it’s paying homage to its humble beginnings with the Nike Air Max 1 “Since ’72.”
Getting its name from the very year that it was rechristened, this Air Max 1 works on top of a crisp white mesh base, and is overlaid by “Limestone” suede panels across the lateral and medial sidewalls and heel. “Cream” leather wraps around the mudguard section, and to really spice things up, the Swoosh and tongue are both accented in a fiery “University Red” hue that’s sure to turn heads wherever you go.
“Since ’72” is printed on both of the custom insoles, and to complete the design, a vintage-inspired “Sail” Air midsole adds a timeless touch. If you want the Nike Air Max 1 “Since ’72” in your life, expect it to drop sometime in Summer 2024. For your best chance secure your size, keep your eyes peeled at Captain Creps!
