Black, Light Bone, Gum Medium Brown and white make up this grade-school Air Max 1, released in October 2018 at $85. Black covers the upper, Light Bone, a warm off-white, is the secondary colour, and a gum rubber outsole in Gum Medium Brown gives the pair a workwear-style foundation that hides scuffs better than a white sole ever could.
Dark uppers on a brown sole is a formula Nike has used across many of its models, and on a kids' shoe it is a practical choice as much as a stylistic one. Underneath, the pair keeps the heel window that defined the original, on the three-pillar Max Air unit Nike settled on after the earliest production pairs suffered cracked bubbles in cold weather. The numbering is worth knowing as well: the Air Max 90 was first sold as the Air Max III, which places this shoe, in any colourway, at the head of the line.
