Once constructed in mesh and suede for maximum performance, the Air Max 1 is now equipped for everyday life with a premium leather upper. Its premium upper arrives in the familiar combination of black and red, displayed in the same color blocking utilized by that unforgettable model introduced in 1985. A final nod to 1985—the year black-and-red footwear made its way to the court—is included with an embossed Nike Air logo on the lateral heel.
