Nike brings a touch of the museum to the streets with the Air Max 1 ’86 OG “Museum Masterpiece”. This iteration, releasing March 9th for $170 USD, departs from tradition with a unique and captivating design.
A Work of Art Disguised as a Shoe:
The upper, crafted from textured and marbled off-white leather, embodies a work of art in itself. This unique aesthetic is further complemented by monochrome suede Swooshes and tongue tag, offering a touch of understated elegance.
Details That Matter:
Subtle yet impactful details elevate the design. The embroidered Nike Air heel logo and insoles adorned with the inscription “PLEASE DO NOT STEP ON THE ART” pay homage to the shoe’s artistic inspiration. Additionally, a tribute is paid to Tinker Hatfield, the designer of the Air Max 1, further solidifying its status as a collector’s piece.
The masterpiece rests on a white foam midsole with a visible Air Max unit. This combination ensures both comfort and visual appeal, making them as comfortable to wear as they are eye-catching. Finally, white laces tie the sneaker together for a clean and cohesive finish.
Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of sneaker art! The Air Max 1 ’86 OG “Museum Masterpiece” lands at Nike and select retailers on March 9th for $170.
