Part of Nike’s On Air Collection, the Air Max 1 designed by Yuta Takuman is set to take part of the 2019 Air Max Day celebration. Takuman’s Nike Air Max 1 honors the dizzying urban labyrinth of colorful tube lines that shoot beneath Tokyo. The upper is awash in embossed patterns: the left foot opts for a white base with black accents, while the right foot flips the script by using black as a base and white as the accenting color. Each shoe also features a corresponding-colored tongue complete with a special badge.
The Nike Air Max 1 ‘Tokyo Maze’ will first release on Air Max Day, March 26th in Tokyo. Following a global release will take place in April. The retail price tag is set at $150 USD.
