No stranger to fusing nike air max 1 black and white nostalgia into his projects, Ronnie Fieg has apparently reworked a classic hoop shoe from the era — and it's a Nike. Are any of you familiar with the Nike Air Max Uptempo 97? Unless you were born in the 80s or early 90s then you probably aren’t too familiar with the shoe. When Supreme and Nike unveiled their recent Air Max 98 collab, pretty much everyone that I heard mention it lamented the collaboration as a missed opportunity. In conversations here at Highsnobiety HQ and in the comments sections of the internet, popular sentiment seemed to suggest that the two brands didn’t go back in time far enough, and that the Air Max silhouette that really should’ve been brought back from the dead is the 97. As any sneakerhead knows, the Air Max line is heralded as both a pop-culture sensation and an iconic point in sneaker history – especially Italian sneaker history. The Nike Air Max 97 was popular all over the world, but especially in Italy, where hype reached unprecedented levels 20 years ago. Now, in homage to that same Italian enthusiasm, Nike is releasing the 20th anniversary silver nike air max 1 womens in a special Italian edition.
Alongside the stellar Nike 12 Soles Collection for Holiday 2016, the Swoosh will be also unveiling a new nike air max 1 red . Nike are celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Air Max 97 by giving the “Silver Bullet” a new retro iteration. The sneaker is designed by Christian Tresser and features a silver-upper and takes inspiration from Japan’s Bullet Train. The Air Max 97 was the first sneaker to feature a full-length air unit on the sole. This air unit sole revolutionised the entire Air Max silhouette and most sneakers that Nike releases today. The sneaker was especially popular in Italy so the re-release will be exclusively in Italy. Nike will be releasing the October 5th at these Italian retailers: Slam Jam, NikeLab ST18, One Block Down in Milan, Holypop in Rome and LuisaViaRoma in Florence. Not to mention Excelsior. George Pompidou’s inside out architectural style led Hatfield to think about applying this to the air sole units, which had appeared in a few Nike styles dating back to 1978. By cutting away the foam on the midsole, the air bubble would become, for the first time, visible. The Air Max was born. The world of trainers changed forever. Three years after the original, Tinker Hatfield returned to the Air Max design with a view to modernising it. Additional eyelets offered the wearer the option of different lace configurations, to personalise their kicks, and ribbed side panels created a frame which drew the eye to the air bubble. If you’re unsure whether the trip to Italy is worth it to cop, be sure to check out the video above courtesy of Slam Jam Socialism for a quick unboxing of the sneaker. Nike’s special “12 Soles” capsule will be going on display this week at the new Nike Soho store (529 Broadway), which opens its doors on November 11.
The strong partnership Fieg has forged with Nike appears to be expanding into footwear. After so much success with brands like Asics, nike air max 1 blue and Adidas, there's endless possibilities with Swoosh vaults open to Fieg. More on this possible drop as new details surface. It would also be pretty safe to bet that if this small, anecdotal sample were to be extended to the sneaker enthusiast community at large, you’d probably get similar results. Exclusively being sold in Italy at selected Nike accounts, including Slam Jam Milan and Slam Jam Ferrara, the new Nike Air Max 97 will be dropping on October 5. A number of classic styles, as well as revamped updates are present within the celebratory collection, including the SF AF-1, AF-1 Upstep Warrior, Air Max 2 Uptempo, And that’s even before you take into account Supreme’s additions of faux snakeskin and patent leather, materials too closely associated to budget stripper attire for most people’s comfort.
