What’s Fresh About It

The Air Max 1000 brings the iconic 1987 Air Max 1 into the future—almost fully 3D‑printed in collaboration with Zellerfeld. The “Oatmeal” edition sports a seamless, one-piece upper in a clean, monochromatic beige, giving it a wearable-sculpture vibe. 

Design & Tech Highlights

• 3D-Printed Construction: Built in Germany using Zellerfeld’s tech—no stitched panels, ultra-minimal waste, digitally molded for custom-like fit and layered density.

• Visual Texture: The upper features wavy, lattice-based tooling inspired by the original AM1 mudguard, creating dynamic depth and airflow.

• Cushioning & Sole: A bold red Max Air unit anchors the heel, contrasting the oatmeal tone. The outsole offers a flexible grip grid for traction and comfort.

• Branding: Subtle—just a debossed Swoosh, technical heel tabs, and discreet “Made in Germany” details.

The Story Behind It

This model marks Nike’s pioneering leap into 3D-printed mass manufacturing, crafting a radical spin on heritage design with future-driven tech. From its ComplexCon reveal to a high-demand public release, the Air Max 1000 “Oatmeal” bridges nostalgia and innovation elegantly.
