Those who pre-ordered the .SWOOSH x Nike Air Max 1 Low Poly have finally started to receive their pairs. However, Nike’s web3 division is continuing to work on the Air Max 1 silhouette in real life as a new colorway of the .SWOOSH x Nike Air Max 1 has appeared.
Big Head Origins is the new collaboration between Nike’s web3 division, .SWOOSH, and Nike Sportswear, which sees the humble Air Max 1 reference an iconic Nintendo character — Donkey Kong. The ape’s brown fur and red tie are translated onto the sneaker via the fuzzy brown suede on the “low poly” mudguard and midfoot panel, while red hues hit the Swoosh, TPU eyelets, and the Swoosh on the Nike logo atop the tongue. The mesh on the base comes in a neutral tan shade that subtly contrasts the suede paneling of the vamp and heel overlay.
