Update: With the launch of the Nike Air Max 1 ‘86 “Sport Red” out of the way, the attention has turned to several other “Big Bubble” looks. Joining the “Light Silver” and “Metallic Gold Grain” colorways, the “Light Armory Blue” presentation has been fully revealed by Nike. Enjoy a complete visual breakdown of the sneaker above ahead of its unscheduled release later this year. For more details, dive into our initial coverage of the colorway below.


Original Story: Nike celebrated its annual Air Max Day this month by bringing back the first-ever Tinker Hatfield-designed sneaker in the lineage with the Air Max 1 ‘86. It was essentially the “one before the 1” that was introduced in ‘86 and is recognized for its oversized Air unit in the sole. And after getting brought back to the frontlines in the silhouette’s original “Sport Red” colorway, it appears that more iterations will be popping out as the year progresses as we have an early look at the “Indigo Haze” offering.

The kicks are fashioned with an understated color scheme. A “Light Smoke Grey” hue is called upon to dress up the suede overlays that affix to the quarter panels and heels, and this is complemented by “Indigo Haze” Swooshes and mudguards. Mesh toe boxes and pleated collars add to its neutral presentation by arriving with white finishes. Extra details to call out include the size numbers which appear on the interior liners as well as the angelic midsoles that house its enlarged Air cushioning bubbles.

No release info has been announced just yet, but SNKRS and affiliated retailers will be releasing these down the road for $150 USD.

Elsewhere in footwear, BODE is rumored to be working on a Nike Astro Grabber collaboration.
