Nike is reviving the beloved “USA” iteration for its upcoming Air Max 1 ‘86 OG edition.

Crafted with a white mesh base and suede overlays in light grey, the model is complemented with a deep “Obsidian” hue that runs along the mudguard and panel swoosh, while hits of contrasts land on the bright red eyestays, tongue tag, insoles, embroidered Nike Air heel logo and outsole tip. The shoe rests on a white midsole complete with the iconic “Big Bubble” Air heel unit, while white laces tie the shoe together for a clean finish.

The Nike Air Max 1 ‘86 OG “USA” is set to drop on September 9 via NBHD retailers and Nike, with a price of $150 USD.

Elsewhere in footwear, Nike is adding the Dunk Mid to its Halloween collection.
