Nike's Air Max 1 Sneaker Gets a New Animal Print for the Season
Just in time for the warmer weather ahead, Nike introduces a Safari Print iteration of the iconic Air Max 1 sneaker model for the season. The shoes have seen this pattern in the past back in 2002 and 2016 - this time around, it takes on a bright tonal palette that follows closely with the SS22 season.
The collars and mudguards are where the print can most notably be found in a muted grey hue. Notably, the heel sections have additional branding in the form of an oversize Swoosh. 'Cobblestone' tonal details adorn the shoes as well followed by Worn Blue hues at the overlaying accents by the side logos, the backdrops of the insert sections, and the tongue branding.
