Upon release, each garment will appear in very limited numbers to support the brand’s philosophy of high quality, low quantity.

nike air max 1 purple safari

these are killer. always a fan of safari print, they combine it with my favorite air max and make it a must-have for the kid. check the writeup on format mag:

After the release of a bunch of other Air Max 1 Safari versions, Nike came up again with this awesome purple colorway. The shoe features a white mesh and grey suede upper with a purple safari surface on the back. The matching mid- and outsole top the design which provides the typical and timeless style of the Nike Air Max 1.

The shoe is now available at all Nike stores.
