Description
The Nike Air Max 1 '86 OG Big Bubble Sport Red, released in March 2023, is a revival of the original Air Max 1 silhouette featuring the iconic larger and longer visible Air cushioning unit from the initial 1986 release. This edition remains true to the OG design with a breathable white mesh base paired with grey synthetic suede overlays and vibrant University Red accents across the mudguard, Swoosh, and Nike branding on the tongue and heel. The sneaker retains the classic black, red, and white rubber outsole for traction and durability.
Special packaging accompanies this release, featuring an aged, distressed box with iconic Air Max illustrations. The sneaker balances vintage style and modern comfort through a cleaner midsole, textured mesh toe box, and updated EVA sole, enhancing cushioning and energy return.
Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity of your sneakers, we recommend a considered approach to their care. Regular maintenance is key to preserving their aesthetic integrity and material quality.
- General Care: For leather and synthetic uppers, gently wipe away dirt with a soft, damp cloth and a mild cleaning solution. Laces can be hand-washed separately. Allow the sneakers to air-dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight, to maintain the structure and quality of the materials.
- Suede & Nubuck: These delicate materials require specific attention. Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt, always brushing in the same direction. For stubborn marks, a specialist suede eraser is recommended. Avoid water, as it can stain and alter the texture. To protect against the elements, a light application of a waterproofing spray designed for suede can be beneficial.
