Nike prepares to celebrate National Puerto Rico Day with two new tonal iterations of the Air Max 1 sneaker model. The two-piece capsule is dubbed the Puerto Rico Day pack and both of which are detailed with striking colorways. Both of the shoes are set to launch to the public sometime in June for the price of $140.
The first of the two alternative palettes dress the shoes in bright blue tones throughout the upper on top of the off-white base underlays. This is done to match the outsole and then deeper blue can be seen bordering the shoe and rounded out by a jewel Swoosh on the side. The second pair starts with a grey base and is detailed with orange, peach, and yellow on top.
