The Nike Air Max 1 Premium Sanddrift is a special iteration of the Air Max 1 silhouette, which first hit the scene in 1987. This model features a premium construction, with better, higher quality materials used. The colorway combines Sandy Tan and neutral tones, evoking a natural and earthy aesthetic. The upper is made from premium leather, with suede overlays and a cream base color, including beige overlays around the midfoot and Sandy Tan on the mudguard. Other than the Swoosh, branding details include a Nike logo on the heel and tongue. The standout feature is the midsole, which bears a visible Air unit strategically placed on the heel for cushioning and energy return during casual activities. The shoe was first put out for retail on May 5th, 2023, priced at $170. It pairs elevated materials with a refined, understated palette, featuring a breathable white mesh base with premium tan leather on the mudguard and signature Swoosh, complemented by a stark white polyurethane midsole fitted with a visible Max Air unit nestled in the heel.
