The Nike Air Max 1 '86 OG Big Bubble Air Max Day (2024) is a special-edition sneaker that was released to celebrate Air Max Day.
The sneaker boasts a white mesh construction with suede overlays in Royal Blue and Sail. Unlike other Nike Air Max 1 models released as part of Air Max Day, the "Big Bubble Air Max Day" iteration features a Volt midsole that catches the eye. The tongue’s inner lining also showcases a panel of Volt synthetic material. The oversized window in the heel displays visible Air Max units and four circular cut outs.
We're celebrating Air Max Day by revitalising an icon. Pulling from the archives, the Air Max 1 '86 tells one of Nike's biggest stories: revealing Air to the world. But the lesser-known fact is that for the first few months of its release, the Air Max 1 featured a noticeably bigger window. So, like … why did the window shrink? We discovered an exposed Air unit tends to crack in cold temperatures, so Nike engineers had to adjust on the fly. We created a new Air unit and quietly "shrunk the window both in length and height". Lucky for us, it's not the '80s any more. The bubble-bursting days of yesteryear stayed where they belong—firmly rooted in the past.
And for all our fellow Air Max heads, the Royal Blue, white and Neutral Grey colour-blocking looks as striking today as it did back in the day. Breezy textiles in the upper pair with a vibrant Volt foam midsole for bold comfort. The signature Royal Blue branding pops against the classic backdrop for a clean callback to '86. This "Big Bubble" edition honours the origins of visible Nike Air, all while keeping it right where it belongs—under your feet for the journey forwards.
