The Nike Air Max 1 University Blue remains a timeless essential in any collection, boasting a classic silhouette presented in a color scheme of white, University Blue, black, and Photon Dust. The upper predominantly features a white mesh base, with University Blue accents highlighting the suede mudguards and lateral Swooshes. This same blue extends to the mesh inner lining, branding, tongue, and the visible Air Max heel unit. Gray suede overlays are strategically placed on the midfoot, heels, and vamp. Sitting atop a white midsole and black rubber outsole, the shoe maintains a clean and classic look. The Air Max bubble's pillars introduce a touch of the University of North Carolina Blue underfoot, while the surrounding foam adopts a "colorless" finish. The waffle-patterned outsole echoes the color-blocking, reminiscent of debut styles from 1987. The distinctive feature of the Nike Air Max 1 University Blue is the use of University Blue tints, adding a lively touch to the overall neutral palette, setting the shoe apart as a truly unique piece. The sneaker debuted for $140 on October 15th, 2023. The Nike Air Max 1 ‘University Blue’ merges a white mesh base with synthetic suede overlays in a pale grey finish at the quarter panel and heel. The Swoosh is rendered in a pastel blue hue, matching the mudguard, interior lining and molded eyelets. A white polyurethane midsole features a classic wedge shape and visible Air-sole cushioning in the heel. Underfoot, a waffle-traction rubber outsole leverages flex grooves for a natural ride.
