Nike Air Max 1 Premium Wabi-Sabi (W)

The Nike Air Max 1 Premium Wabi-Sabi, launched exclusively in Asia Pacific and Latin America for Nike’s 2022 Air Max Day lineup, celebrates the Japanese philosophy of finding beauty in imperfections. This unique sneaker blends artistic design with rich cultural meaning, making it a standout in the Air Max 1 legacy. 

The upper features an off-white canvas base accented by a green Swoosh and a pink leather midfoot overlay, with exposed contrast stitching adding character and texture. Asymmetrical color blocking in earthy tones of brown and olive adorns the split mudguard and heel overlay, where a playful Nike smiley face adds a touch of whimsy. “XXXV,” embroidered in red on the lateral heel, commemorates the 35th anniversary of the Air Max 1. Customizable branding options come courtesy of interchangeable tongue tags.

Underfoot, a cream-colored midsole with a crackle graphic is paired with a gum rubber outsole, providing a vintage yet modern aesthetic. Thoughtfully crafted and packed with details, the Nike Air Max 1 Premium Wabi-Sabi embodies creativity, heritage, and the beauty of imperfection.
