Nike Air Max 1 ’86 OG - Big Bubble University Red

Step into sneaker history with the Nike Air Max 1 '86 OG “Big Bubble” in University Red. Inspired by the earliest Air Max 1 production pairs from 1986, this special edition brings back the noticeably larger visible Air unit and window that appeared on the original design. The result is a heritage-inspired silhouette that celebrates the origins of visible Nike Air while maintaining the timeless style of the Air Max 1.

The upper combines breathable white mesh with light grey synthetic suede overlays, while University Red accents add a bold contrast to the Swoosh, mudguard, eyelets and Nike Air branding. Underfoot, the white polyurethane midsole houses the signature oversized visible Max Air unit, providing lightweight cushioning and completing the distinctive Big Bubble aesthetic.
