After the arrival of the eye-catching “Just Do It” design, Nike has now pared back the Air Max 1 for a “Desert Sand” colorway. The premium sneaker features different tonal beige colorways, with a light shade making up the majority of the upper. This is offset with a darker color around the heel, toe and Swoosh and off-white tones around the heel.

In terms of materials used, the sneaker comes in a premium leather and suede construction with other perforated panels across the upper. Lastly, the Air Max 1 is finished with subtle Nike branding on the heel and tongue. Take a look at the sneaker above, and head over to Feature to get your hands on a pair, costing $130 USD.
