The Liberty of London x Wmns Air Max 1 Ultra QS 'Floral' is a women's release from April 2016 that carried a retail price of $135. Its official colour code reads White/White/Vachetta Tan/Volt: a white ground for the Liberty floral print, with warm Vachetta Tan and a sharp Volt accent. The pair sits on the Ultra tooling, Nike's lighter take on the Air Max 1 built around comfort and reduced weight, with the visible Air unit still showing in the heel.
Liberty is the London department store founded in 1875 by Arthur Lasenby Liberty, and its printed fabrics have been its signature ever since. Nike has returned to those prints on the Air Max 1 more than once, including women's editions in 2013 and 2014, and this Ultra QS version continued the run in 2016. Those earlier editions predate the Ultra platform, which Nike introduced in 2015, so this pair puts the same style of florals on a slimmer, lighter base.
