Released on March 22, 2024, for $150, the Nike Air Max 1 '86 OG Big Bubble Royal quickly ascended to must-have status among sneaker aficionados and style mavens.

It's a piece of athletic history, a homage to innovation, and a beacon of timeless style.
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 white foam midsole for cool, cushioned 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.
