On March 26th 1987 Nike released their first Air Max shoes. Since 2014 this is an annual celebration of the release of the iconic model. Most of these years the celebration comes with new releases or special actions. This year the OG ‘Red Bubble’ was released, but unfortunately I was to late to snatch one this morning.
I have to admit I only like the Air Max shoes for the last couple of years. Since the Air Max shoes were part of the unofficial outfit in the gabber scene, I did not like them at all. I was mellow off course. But a couple of years back I tried a pair and I was immediately sold. Love the design and quality, but most of all the comfort while wearing them. So once I wore them till death I got a new pair, and then another pair. Last year with the 35th anniversary was an expensive year. And this year there are a lot of new releases as well. Can’t find any numbers about the total amount of releases over all the years, but here is a Top 10 of my favorite releases.
10. Nike Air Max 1 Madder Root 2022
Love the light colors on this one. Spring is coming so I might wear these a bit more.
9. Nike Air Max 1 Crepe Hemp 2022
Still looking for this one. So if you have a pair for sale (at a decent price) in size 10, just let me know.
8. Patta x Nike Air Max 1 Albert Heijn 2005
Designed by Dutch artist Piet Parra. The colors were the same as the logo of Dutch supermarket Albert Heijn. Due to pressure from Albert Heijn production was cancelled. Only 24 were made and handed out to friends and family. This is the holy grail for AM1 collectors. Estimated value would be somewhere around 15K.
7. Nike Air Max 1 Concepts X Mellow 2022
Missed out on these one when the came available, but found some on Marktplaats (Dutch Ebay).
6. Nike Air Max 1 FB Hay Sunset Glow Artisan Teal 2015
Nice brown with turquoise accents and a pink sole, lovin’ it.
5. Nike Air Max 1 Premium Ugly Duckling Pecan 2022
Part of a double Ugly Duckling pack. I have the Honeydew as well, but this one is my favorite. The Honeydew is for sale, so if you are interested, let me know.
4. Nike Air Max 1 Premium Retro Green Curry 2018
When you read my previous Top10 lists, you might have noticed I am a fan of curry. So combining food and sneakers seems work out pretty nice.
3. Nike Air Max 1 BRS Powerwall 2005
Love the colorway on this one.
2. Nike Air Max 1 Premium Ridgerock 2017
My 3rd pair of ‘Maxies’. Came accross these while on holiday on Tenerife, Spain. No brainer, had to have these.
1. Nike Air Max 1 SH Treeline 2022
The current most favorite pair in my collection. Might be due to my love for the colour green.
