Nike Air Max 1 ´86 OG

Let's be clear, sneaker culture and history begins here: the Nike Air Max 1 'Big Bubble'.

The Nike Air Max 1 'Big Bubble' marks the beginning of sneaker culture and history. This highly sought-after sneaker has been recreated by Nike using CT scans to replicate the original Nike Air unit and window from the 1986 release. Despite its significance, the Air Max 1's history is often overshadowed by the fact that the original design featured a larger window that was later shrunk due to issues with the Air unit cracking in cold temperatures.

Released on 26 March 1987, the ultra-rare Air Max 'Big Bubble' hit the shelves and thankfully didn't burst. After the initial run, the Air Max 1 as we know it secretly replaced the original, taking hold as the leader of the Air Max pack. And the 'Big Bubble?' It faded away—until now. Welcome to the beginning.
