Beyond Air Max Day, Nike will continue to invest heavily in the Air Max 1, preparing not only new styles but also tangible references to many a past classic. Alongside remastering the “Chili” from two decades ago, the Swoosh will be using the Tinker Hatfield-design icon to once again pay homage to the Urawa Dragons (also referred to as the Urawa Red Diamonds), referencing the “Urawa” colorway from 2004.
The Nike Air Max 1 “Urawa” originally debuted back in 2004, its design an homage to the above-mentioned J League Football Club. Now, after 19 years, it’s finally receiving a sequel in this upcoming pair, whose colorway essentially flips that of the original. Here, red plays a much less important role, only highlighting the topmost eyelets, Air Unit, and what seems to be the insoles as well. The rest of the construction indulges entirely in neutrals: the mesh inserts across the forefoot and collar, for starters, are done up entirely in black, while the overlays, lace unit, and sole alternate between a light grey and white. Finally, the Urawa Dragon logo marks the heel, embroidered in a light neutral thread.
Enjoy an early look at the upcoming Nike Air Max 1 “Urawa” ahead. At the time of writing this, a release is rumored for later this Fall.
