Nike Air Max 1 OG Anniversary Obsidian

The Nike Air Max 1 OG Anniversary Obsidian is a faithful re-release of one of the original colorways of the revolutionary Air Max 1, designed by Tinker Hatfield and first introduced in 1987. The shoe features a classic and instantly recognizable color scheme of white, dark blue, and Neutral Grey. It is constructed with a white mesh base on the toe box and collar, providing breathability. Neutral Grey nubuck overlays are prominently featured on the midfoot and heel, offering a subtle contrast and premium feel. The most striking element is the deep Obsidian blue that defines the mudguard, the iconic Swoosh on the side panels, and the smaller Swoosh on the Nike Air Max branding on the tongue. The shoe sits atop a clean white midsole that famously houses the visible Nike Air unit in the heel, a groundbreaking cushioning technology. The durable black rubber outsole features a tri-colored design for reliable traction. The varsity red color is highlighted on the upper eyelets, the Nike Air Max branding on both the tongue and the heel, as well as the sneaker outsole.

Released in 2017 as part of the Air Max 1’s 30th anniversary celebration, this ‘Anniversary Obsidian’ iteration aimed to replicate the original’s look and feel with meticulous detail, making it a highly sought-after piece for collectors. This iconic sneaker is ideal for dedicated collectors of Nike’s heritage, enthusiasts of classic running silhouettes, and anyone who appreciates a timeless design with a rich, versatile color palette. Its comfortable Air cushioning and classic aesthetic make it suitable for everyday casual wear, easily complementing a wide range of streetwear and sporty outfits. It’s a must-have for those who want to own a piece of sneaker history.
