Nike Women's Air Max 1 '86 Premium "Royal Blue" DO9844-101
Nike Air Max 1 '86 Premium
Nike celebrate Air Max Day by revitalising an icon. Pulling from the archives, the Air Max 1 '86 tells one of Nike's biggest stories: revealing Air to the world.
But the lesser-known fact is that for the first few months of its release, the Air Max 1 featured a noticeably bigger window. So, like … why did the window shrink? We discovered an exposed Air unit tends to crack in cold temperatures, so Nike engineers had to adjust on the fly. We created a new Air unit and quietly "shrunk the window both in length and height".
Lucky for us, it's not the '80s any more. The bubble-bursting days of yesteryear stayed where they belong—firmly rooted in the past. And for all our fellow Air Max heads, the Royal Blue, white and Neutral Grey colour-blocking looks as striking today as it did back in the day. Breezy textiles in the upper pair with a white foam midsole for cool, cushioned comfort.
The signature Royal Blue branding pops against the classic backdrop for a clean callback to '86. This "Big Bubble" edition honours the origins of visible Nike Air, all while keeping it right where it belongs—under your feet for the journey forwards. The first shoe to reveal Nike Air to the world gets elevated with Parisian-inspired details. Add this to the tried-and-true cushioning and classic wavy mudguard—it’s no wonder it’s reigned supreme for so long. Originally designed for performance running, visible Nike
Air cushioning puts the history of comfort beneath your feet. Rubber Waffle outsole gives you traction, durability and heritage style. Padded, low-cut collar looks sleek and feels great.
