Golf is the twist here. Nike took the Air Max 1 upper and set it on an outsole made for the course, keeping the visible Air unit in the heel so the cushioning that made the model famous on pavement carries over to eighteen holes of walking. The colour code lists White, Aurora and Hot Punch: a white base, a soft aqua-green in Aurora, and a hot pink in Hot Punch, which reads as a summer palette rather than a traditional golf one. The nickname tells you where to look, because the sole is where this pair makes its statement.
It released on July 11, 2020 at $130, ten dollars above the $120 Air Max 1 releases of the year before. Above the midsole the shape is left almost untouched, so it passes as an ordinary Air Max 1 off the course. For golfers who want Air cushioning without a shoe that looks like equipment, it is an easy pick; for Air Max 1 collectors, it is one of the few colourways built to be worn on a wet fairway.
