Nike is set to release a pair of special edition Air Max 1s inspired by Tinker Hatfield’s early design process with an upcoming “Sketch” and “Schematic” versions. Schematic is a representation of the elements of a system using abstract, graphic symbols rather than realistic pictures. However this shoe comes with Black running throughout. In addition the detailing and branding is done in White while the same treatment is given to Hatfield’s signature on the heel. Finishing the look we have ‘Sample, Property Of Nike, Not For Resale’ on the liner.
The Nike Air Max 1 Black Schematic is part of the upcoming Nike Air Max 1 Sketch To Shelf, and although the Tinker Sketch and White Schematic from the pack are slated to drop on July 13th, there is no confirmation that these will also drop on that same day.
