Air Max 1 ‘86 • Chicago

October 26, 2023 | Category: Ward 1 Sneakers

Air Max 1 ‘86 • Chicago

Celebrate the Chicago skyline with the Air Max 1 ’86. History lesson: In the wake of the Great Chicago Fire, residents worked together to rebuild, replacing charred wooden structures with steel, concrete and glass. The AM1 ’86 “Chicago” pays homage to this “second city,” bringing the hues of modern skyscrapers to premium leather and suede. Blue Chill accents and a reflective Swoosh nod to the mirror image of downtown towers in the surface of Lake Michigan. And on the the insole and tongue label, you’ll find that iconic skyline, overlayed by a Nike Swoosh.

Chicago Pack

Built for, validated by, and told through the city: Chicago, this one’s for you. Nike teamed up with six local streetwear legends (Leaders, Notre, RSVP, St. Alfred, SVRN and Succezz) to craft sneakers inspired by the resilience of Chicagoans past and present. Through the stories at the heart of these designs, the Chicago Pack evokes an ever-evolving blend of heritage and modernity, fire and water, steel and wood. As a unifying touch, both footwear styles feature a special-edition graphic on the insole and tongue label—the Chicago skyline overlayed by a Nike Swoosh.

Air Max 1 ’86 OG – Dark Obsidian and University Red

The holy grail of sneaker lore returns, bringing with it the origin story of visible Nike Air.

Air Max 1 ’86 – Lost Sketch

Lost and found. Open the vault. Make “what if?” a reality. Pulling details from a long lost notebook, this Air Max 1 brings one of Tinker Hatfield’s early drawings to life for the first time. Originally conceived in ’86, the design brings history into the now with a worn aesthetic on the leather overlays and aged midsole. Safari print on the mudguard and a ‘hand drawn’ graphic above the Nike Air window round out the story of pulling pages from the history books, while shades of purple and blue mix with Light Smoke Grey for a colorway that’s a dream come true.

Air Jordan 6 • Toro Bravo

Famously inspired by MJ’s German sports car, this AJ6 has a decked-out design that dons textured suede and an all-over Varsity Red finish. Yeah, some things are worth the wait.

 


 




 

Air Jordan 11 Retro Low • Cement Grey

 

Let’s cut to the chase—the AJ11 is all-time. MJ won 72 games and a title while wearing ’em. Now, the icon returns. From its slick patent leather mudguard to the frosted outsole, this Tinker Hatfield design brings the off-court allure.

 

 




 

Air Max 1 ’86 Original • Big Bubble

Let’s be clear, sneaker culture and history begins here: the Air Max 1 “Big Bubble.”

 The holy grail of sneaker lore returns along with the true story of visible Nike Air. Using CT scans (yes, really) to dissect 1 of maybe only 400,000 released pairs of the “Big Bubble,” we replicated the Nike Air unit and window used in the ’86 original, so you can step on the bedrock of sneaker history. And don’t worry, you still get the throwback color blocking. 

Hiding in the shadows of one of Nike’s biggest stories (that of revealing Nike Air to the world) is the fact 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? With a launch date in place and manufacturing already started, Nike engineers (to their dismay) discovered that an exposed Air unit had a tendency to crack in cold temperatures. Adjusting on the fly, engineers quietly “shrunk the window both in length and height” and began using a new Air unit to prevent the great cracking catastrophe. 

Released on March 26th, 1987, the ultra-rare Air Max “Big Bubble” hit the shelves and thankfully didn’t bust (most likely because of the rising spring temps). 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.

Concepts Air Max 1 – Far Out

January 10, 2023 | Category: Ward 1 Sneakers


 

Concepts x Nike Air Max 1 SP – Far Out

 

Completing our celebration of the Air Max 1, we take our third iteration of the classic sneaker to its furthest reaches. From Harlem to Haight-Ashbury, the counterculture of the ‘60s sent a lasting message to the world.

The music, the style, the vibe: It was all “Far Out.” The Northern California Folk Festival pulled it all together by highlighting the era’s most dynamic performers. On stage, the performers mix of bandanas, denim, leather, fringes and more amplified the preferred fashions of the crowd, and in doing so set a trend that defined the 60s. With the Concepts x Nike Air Max 1 SP “Far Out,” the legacy of those looks matches up to the vibrant swirl of psychedelic concert posters.

Like the prior Concepts x Nike Air Max 1, the “Far Out” also includes patterned elements of bandanna, cowhide, and woven material panels. The former, a Concepts-exclusive, approximates the famous guitar straps employed by festival performers. Further details include a lateral striped Swoosh and a medial “flower power” Swoosh. The tongue label revives a classic ‘70s Nike logo and twists it with a Concepts “hippie” word mark.

The shoe also features a custom footbed. As a bonus, the packaging the “Far Out” gets a fully custom psychedelic print (produced in a secondary pink exclusive to in-store raffle winners), complete with a poncho, double album-styled mini record coasters, bandana and sticker pack.
