The Air Max 1 Essential builds on the Air Max legacy that began in 1987 by giving the retro runner a premium material upgrade. Incorporating Deep Royal Blue suede accents on the branding and mudguard, the shoe implements tumbled leather panels on the heel and quarter panel. The sneaker features a narrower build than the OG offering, while the Off-White midsole gives the sneaker a vintage aesthetic.
