About the Nike Air Max 1 "Black History Month 2012"
Each surface draws on a different cultural reference, including patterns inspired by Kenyan beadwork, the palette of Brazilian carnival and the piecework look of African American quilting.
Released in February 2012 at a retail price of $115, the shoe uses its low key base as a frame for those references rather than competing with them for attention. The approach differs from most Black History Month sneakers that lean on one bold color story, spreading its tribute across sport history and craft traditions instead of a single motif.
