This Air Max 1 is the London half of a two-city European pack from March 2020, built alongside an Amsterdam colorway on the same nylon-and-mixed-material construction. Smoke grey and dark smoke grey shade the upper, with valerian blue picking out the branding on the quarter panel and a smaller Swoosh at the forefoot. A thin embroidered line representing the River Thames runs through the Nike Air branding on the heel, and silhouettes referencing two London landmarks, the Eye and Big Ben, are worked into the forefoot overlay.
Nike priced the pair at $175 and released it March 19, 2020, a premium sitting above the standard Air Max 1 range because of the nylon-and-mixed-material build and the city-specific embroidery. The grey base keeps the shoe muted for daily wear, letting the blue accents and heel details carry the London theme rather than a bold colorway. Paired against its Amsterdam counterpart, this version leans toward the city's overcast palette instead of warmer earth tones.
