The Nike Air Max 1 SC 'Bronze' leans on the model's original late 1980s color blocking, done in light orewood brown, bronze, white and black for a 150 dollar release on August 23, 2023. Grey suede overlays sit over a white mesh base, and a bronze leather mudguard covers the front of the shoe, with matching bronze stitching on the Swoosh and a bronze Nike Air mark embroidered at the heel.
That heel window is where Tinker Hatfield first let the shoe's Air cushioning show through, a design he has said was influenced by the exposed pipework of the Centre Pompidou building in Paris; Nike still builds every Air Max 1 SC around that same visible unit. Here it sits on a white polyurethane midsole with a waffle pattern rubber outsole, closing out a pair built to read as a period accurate take on the original shoe.
