About the Arthur Huang x NikeLab Air Max 1 Ultra 2.0 Flyknit "Royal"

NikeLab's 2017 collaboration with Arthur Huang reworked the Air Max 1 Ultra 2.0 Flyknit around post-consumer recycled materials, extending that focus down to the leather lining and midfoot cage. It released March 26, 2017, the date Nike marks each year as Air Max Day, at a $250 retail price reflecting the Ultra 2.0 Flyknit construction and the NikeLab collaboration positioning.

The Ultra 2.0 update gave the Air Max 1 a dual-density foam midsole beneath the visible Air unit, paired here with a Flyknit upper rather than the mesh Nike used on the standard model. Building it from recycled leather and post-consumer materials meant fewer color options were practical, which the brand leaned into by keeping the palette essentially monochrome instead of working around the limitation. At $250, it sat well above the standard Air Max 1 price range, positioning this pair as a design-forward release rather than a mainline colorway.
