Nike introduced the world to Air like never before with the release of the Nike Air Max 1 in 1987.

Prior to the Air Max 1 hitting retail, a rare version of the shoe was in production. Dubbed as the “Big Bubble” or “Big Window” version, the shoe was produced in 1986. The “Big Bubble” version was even included in some promotional advertisements ahead of the ’87 released version.

The Swoosh is finally bringing back the Air Max 1 OG in its original “Big Bubble” version. The shoe is set to return with its original white mesh base with grey and red suede overlays. Red details also arrive on the eyelet, the tongue, and the Nike Air branding on the heel. And of course, the extended Air unit window is included.

The Nike Air Max 1 OG “Big Bubble” is set to release in 2023. However, a release date or price point for the shoe have been announced. We expect the paint to release on SNKRS and select retailers upon its return.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
