For dedicated sneaker enthusiasts, the Nike Air Max 1 has always been regarded as a masterpiece. Tinker Hatfield’s inaugural Air Max silhouette has achieved iconic status since its debut nearly four decades ago. With Air Max Day approaching on March 26th, Nike revisits the model’s OG 1986 design with a “Museum Masterpiece” edition, celebrating the shoe’s creator and its enduring cultural significance.
The upper of the shoe is adorned with abstract impressionism, featuring marbled, multicolored leather that creates a visually stunning, museum-worthy appearance rich in texture. This artistic theme extends to the midsole with additional paint treatments atop a white base, complemented by the hallmark large bubble air unit from the ’86 model. Typography on the insole reinforces the design’s artistic concept, with the right shoe urging, “Please Do Not Step On The Art,” while the left shoe credits Tinker, the visionary behind the Air Max masterpiece.
Scheduled for release on March 9th with an MSRP of $170, enjoy a detailed preview here and remember to check back on our Sneaker Release Dates page for more updates.
