As we approach another Air Max Day celebration, Nike continues to honor its iconic Air Max line. The Air Max 1, the model that started it all, is making a comeback in its OG “Sport Royal” colorway for the 2024 edition. The silhouette of the Air Max 1 ’86 “Royal” reflects its original 1986 design, with the Air unit in the midsole modified to resemble the vintage hardware.
While the Air Max 1 has seen several re-releases in the past, the 2024 colorway stays true to the original palette, featuring muted, saturated tones of grey and “Royal”. This release, happening just days before Air Max Day, can be seen as a prelude to the festivities.
This year, the spotlight is on the Nike Air Max Dn, officially launching in various colorways on the 26th. However, special drops like the Nike Air Max 1 “Royal” with a volt sole are also generating excitement among sneakerheads. Stay tuned for more updates as the Air Max Day celebrations approach.
