When it comes to golf Nike has been applying a particular amount of energy into its Air Max series as of late, unveiling a revamped “Big Bubble†unit in anticipation of Air Max Day. Shortly after, the brand started to roll out its limited-edition releases for golf’s four majors using the AM1 as the centerpiece.
Similar to “Sport Red†Nike has now rebooted another one of the classic Air Max 1 colorways for the golf course, this time with “Navy/Red.â€Â The OG colorway first made its debut back in 1987, and the made-for-golf version is a mostly faithful recreation of the original pair.
Featuring a similar theme of color blocking, a satisfying and subtle contrast is created between the pearly white mesh toe boxes and midsoles and the off-white leather paneling. As for the titular hues, those are found via the full-length navy suede mudguards, heel overlays and Swooshes. Meanwhile, red is used for the hits of Nike branding at the tongues, heels and insoles, as well as on the eyelets and toecaps. As with similar spikeless shoes, the tread pattern is raised to provide more traction on the fairways
Take a closer look via the gallery above, taking note of the contrast of textures between the overlays, underlays and toe boxes. The kicks have no release date as of yet, but keep an eye on Hypegolf IG for updates.
