Following the successful revival of the Air Max 1 '86 OG in 2023, Nike has now partnered with high-fashion label Jacquemus to introduce a refreshing take on this iconic silhouette. This collaboration follows a series of exciting Air Max 1 '86 OG variants, including a recent tribute to baseball legend Jackie Robinson and the upcoming retro of the Royal colorway.
Originally reported on by Bubble Koppe, the Jacquemus x Nike Air Max 1 '86 OG collaboration blends Nike's sportswear heritage and Jacquemus' high-fashion sensibilities. The pack introduces two distinct colorways - Metallic Silver and White - offering a fresh perspective on Tinker Hatfield's original design. The Metallic Silver version exhibits a slightly altered upper, with modifications to the toe area for a streamlined look. The shoe features a mesh base and shiny leather rendered in a striking metallic silver. This futuristic aesthetic is complemented by a mini Swoosh on the midfoot, echoing the style of the J Force 1. The collaboration is marked by Jacquemus' subtle yet impactful branding, visible on an elegant hang tag, the insole, and the heel overlay.
The White colorway, on the other hand, showcases a more traditional approach with a luxurious twist. Suede is thoughtfully employed for the mudguard, while white leather forms the base. Adding perforations on the midfoot and toe enhances the texture and depth of the design. The redesigned Air Max 1 '86 midsole is a notable feature of both colorways. For this collaboration, the midsole’s Air unit assumes a more prominent, rectangular shape, offering a contemporary reinterpretation of the classic Air Max cushioning.
The Jacquemus x Nike Air Max 1 '86 OG Pack W will release in Holiday 2024 through Nike SNKRS and select retailers online and in-store. Available in women’s sizing, the retail price for both pairs has yet to be announced.
