The Nike Air Max 1 Essential 'Armory Navy' leans on a mostly white build, combining summit white and light silver on the base with a single armory navy accent rather than a multicolor scheme. The upper is built in leather, giving the pair a cleaner, more formal look than the model's mesh-heavy colorways.
Where the original 1987 Air Max 1 launched in a white, university red and neutral grey combination, this Essential pair swaps the red accent for navy and keeps the rest of the palette close to white. Priced at $140 and released September 25, 2024, it runs on the standard white polyurethane midsole with a visible Max Air unit in the heel, unchanged from the model's original construction.
