Nike Air Max 1 PRM “Wabi-Sabi” Joins the Air Max Day Festivities

In 1987, Nike unveiled the Air Max 1 to the world. Three and a half decades after its debut, the Air Max 1 is as important and relevant as back then.

Though every March 26 (Air Max Day) is a celebration on the unofficial-official sneakerhead calendar, the 35th anniversary has a certain aura to it.

In addition to the slate of releases, a new colorway of the Air Max 1 will appear in late March. Inspired by traditional Japanese aesthetics, the Nike Air Max 1 PRM “Wabi-Sabi” is coming soon. In Japanese tradition, wabi-sabi is centralized in the idea and acceptance of imperfection. Thus, the shoe sports cracked graphics on the midsole, exposed stitching, and other (intentionally) loosely designed details. The shoe is constructed with a canvas base and adorned in earthy tones with suede overlays. Additionally, a gum bottom brings it all together. And it’s not an Air Max Day release without the 3.26 stamped on. The famed date lands on the tongue tags while the Roman numeral XXXV, commemorating the 35th anniversary, is found on the heel and insoles.

The Nike Air Max 1 PRM “Wabi-Sabi” releases on SNKRS and select retailers on Air Max Day (March 26), exclusively in Asia Pacific and Latin American regions.

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
