Update: Supreme just announced its latest collaboration with Nike, presenting a wide range of sportswear apparel that includes nods to the Swoosh’s Air Max franchise. However, the duo’s forthcoming Air Max 1 ‘87 colorways were not featured in the collection, further backing the rumor that the four-shoe collection will drop next week on Air Max Day (March 26). A first look at the “Varsity Purple” pair popped up today as well, offering a look at previously unseen details at the rear. Supreme’s “World Famous” script appears in white at the heel counter, above what seems to be a “SUPREME” wordmark debossed at the heel of the midsole. From there, the shoe includes a “World Famous” callout at the aglets in white text. Stay tuned for the collaboration’s official announcement and review our previous coverage below for more info.


Update: Supreme dropped its Spring/Summer 2025 lookbook last month, teasing a new Nike collaboration featuring the Air Max 1 ‘87. The project was first rumored last year and was said to include four colorways, however, only the “Black” pair was highlighted in the brand’s seasonal preview. Now, with the new Supreme season well underway, a first look at the “White” version has surfaced. This take on the shoe sees it equipped with an all-white finish that hosts a red Supreme box logo at the tongue tag. We’re still waiting to see what the “Varsity Purple” and “Speed Yellow” iterations of the shoe look like, however, it’s likely that both will become visible very soon as reputable Supreme leaker DropsByJay has hinted at an Air Max Day — March 26 — launch date for this project. Look out for it to drop exclusively via Supreme at a starting price of $170 USD per pair.


Original Story: Supreme season is back. The iconic streetwear brand dropped its Spring/Summer 2025 teaser last week and followed up with its complete lookbook and range on Monday. On top of exciting new reveals featuring collaborations with artists like Damien Hirst and Aphex Twin, it revealed one of its upcoming Nike projects.

While we’ve been covering the unreleased five-part Supreme x Nike SB Dunk Low campaign since last year, Supreme’s long-rumored Air Max 1 ‘87 project was the one to make an appearance this week. While we lack a complete set of visuals featuring the shoe, two looks showcased the kicks in its “Black” colorway. This version of the shoe looks to be presented entirely in black, save for its silver dubrae and white lateral Swooshes that are visible here. According to SneakerMarketRO’s report last year, three other colorways of “White,” “Varsity Purple” and “Speed Yellow” will accompany this pair when it drops later this year.

At the time of writing, neither Supreme nor Nike have confirmed which colorways of their forthcoming Air Max 1 ‘87 will be dropping and when. Stay tuned for more info, including an official look at all of the retail pairs, as it is currently set to drop at some point during Supreme’s SS25 season via Supreme at a starting price of $170 USD each.
