Shortly after receiving a look at the bright Air Max 1 colorways coming this summer, Nike recently released a ripstop nylon iteration of the classic silhouette.

Building on the retro-paneled look, the latest iteration of the Air Max 1 comes dressed in a sleek mix of materials accented by bright and bold hits of color. With rugged grey ripstop nylon found on the toebox and heel standing out amongst clean traditional black leather panels and neon patent branding. While a simple tonal black midsole, outsole and heel Air unit round up the design of the shoe.

Priced at $120 USD, the ripstop nylon Air Max 1 is available now online and at select Nike retailers.

In case you missed it, Nike is set to bring back its coveted Air Max2 Light silhouette.
