Couture: Air Maxim 1

After the classic success of the 1987 Air Max 1, we see a technological revamp in the said sneakers from Nike with some of their latest innovations such as Flywire and Nike+ feature. Achieving lightweight and material strength while retaining the classic colour scheme and outlook, this may well be Megatron being brought back to life with newly improved spare parts. Wicked. Now they are calling it the Air Maxim 1 (No relations in whatsoever manner to the popular men's magazine unfortunately).

Available in red and blue schemes at selected Nike stores and sneaker boutiques from July 09.

($199)
