About the Nike Air Max 1 Leopard (Women's)

Nike's Leopard pack of early 2019 put animal print on several of its models, and this women's Premium is the Air Max 1 entry, released February 9, 2019 at $145. The base is Desert Ore, a sandy tan, in canvas and tumbled leather; the leopard pattern runs around the collar and along the mudguard, and pony hair overlays add texture next to it. Orange Peel and black complete the official colourway.

Animal print has a specific history on this shoe. atmos, the Tokyo boutique, had covered the Air Max 1 in pony-hair animal prints a year earlier with its 2018 Animal Pack 2.0, continuing a line of animal prints that began with the boutique's Safari pair in the early 2000s. This Nike-branded women's Premium is the in-line answer to that lineage: no collaborator, a standard retail price, and a palette built to be worn with neutrals rather than to stop traffic. The Premium label comes with materials to match, since tumbled leather and pony hair sit well above the basic mesh-and-synthetic build in both cost and feel.
