Official Look at the Jacquemus x Nike Air Max 1 '86

2024-06-28

Update: The powerhouse duo of Jacquemus and Nike presented their unique take on the Air Max 1 ‘86 to conclude May and have now offered a complete set of visuals showcasing their red colorway. Release information has not yet been shared, but we do have a closer look at the details discussed previously below, as well as a detailed look at the special hang tags made for the project. Enjoy the preview of the red colorway above and stay tuned for more updates as we expect all three pairs to arrive in the coming months via Nike SNKRS and select retailers at a price of $180 USD.

Chief among these is the design’s altered Air unit window, which is elongated and rectangular on the lateral side but shrunken and squared off on the medial side — a tweak that Jacquemus describes as “ROUND AND SQUARE AIR FOR THE FIRST TIME,” but that’s far from the only modification. An altered toe bumper that creeps onto the upper gives the design a more pointed, angular look, while material composition also varies on each model. The white pair boasts a partially perforated leather upper while the silver and red pairs opt for mesh, but all three are united by small metallic Swooshes and a mudguard with a raw edge that hangs out slightly below its bottom seam plus a higher-than-standard top stitch, furthering the toebox’s pointy aesthetic. Co-branded tongues and special leather lace tips add further to the unique look. At the same time, a custom outsole pattern is present on the right sneaker, swapping out the standard waffle traction and Nike embellishment for a Jacquemus hit and round nodules. Lastly, the collar, thinner than a standard Air Max 1 collar, features a quilted liner, and the shoes boast custom hangtags.

Jacquemus founder Simon Porte Jacquemus’ favorite pair of the three? “SILVER,” as he says in a comment on the Instagram post that revealed the collection.

A release date has yet to be announced at the time of writing. However, you can expect the Jacquemus x Nike Air Max 1 ‘86 to arrive later this year, potentially as part of a summer drop. Read the original article below for more info.
