If you love Air Maxes, and particularly Nike Air Max 1s, it won't have escaped you that Nike has gradually reopened the floodgates this year on this iconic 1987 model.
Better than that, the brand with the Swoosh is offering us a 2.0 version of the famous Nike Air Max 1 Chili released in 2003.
This new release features a color scheme similar to the original, but as usual with a few twists for a bit of freshness.
The pair features a white mesh upper appreciated by purists, complemented by gray suede overlays, and contrasted by a black mudguard, lining and Nike Air on the rear.
As for the Swoosh, it adds its sparkle to the side, opting for a red to match Tinker Hatfield's visible air unit and upper eyelets.
