The Nike Air Max 1 LV8 swaps the model's usual mesh for a full leather upper, built in a white, wolf grey, black and obsidian color scheme. The darker tones give the silhouette a cooler, more subdued look than its original running colorways, while the shape and proportions stay true to the model. The obsidian colorway is one of several premium leather treatments Nike has applied to the Air Max 1 in recent years, dressing the running shape in richer materials than the mesh and synthetic overlays of the original 1987 upper.
Leather panels wrap the toe, eyestay and heel, with obsidian used as the deepest accent against lighter grey and white sections. It released January 22, 2021 at 150 dollars, keeping the visible Max Air unit set into the heel that has marked the Air Max 1 since Nike first exposed the cushioning in the late 1980s.
