The Nike Air Max 1 'Steelers' sets a white leather base against university gold and black accents, a combination that lines up with the black and gold worn by Pittsburgh's NFL team. The upper is built in leather rather than the model's original mesh construction, a shift the line made in 1988 when a leather version of the Air Max 1 first arrived and pushed the shoe further toward everyday wear rather than running.
Priced at $140 and released November 2, 2023, the 'Steelers' keeps the rest of the build standard for the model: a white polyurethane midsole and a visible Max Air unit set into the heel window. The gold and black color blocking is concentrated on the overlays and branding, leaving the leather base mostly white.
