About the Nike Air Max 1 Premium QS 'Microstripe'

Released March 20, 2009 at 125 dollars, this Air Max 1 Premium QS trades the usual mesh and leather mix for an all canvas upper. A pinstripe pattern runs across the shoe in shades of University Blue, tightening into finer lines on the panels near the heel and toe. The Premium QS line has repeatedly dressed the Air Max 1 in unconventional materials and prints over the years, and this canvas pinstripe take is one of the earlier examples, arriving in 2009.

White shows up across the laces, sockliner and branding for contrast against the blue base, while a gum sole finishes things off beneath retro style block lettering stamped on the heel. The canvas treatment and layered pinstripe print set this pair apart from the mesh and leather Air Max 1 models more common to the period.
