Leak: A Nike Air Max 1 ’86 ‘Blue Safari’ Has Surfaced

For Air Max Day 2023, Nike wanted to do something big, so they resurrected the most mythical Air Max 1 of all time – the 1986 ‘Big Bubble’. What made this such a gargantuan moment is that this silhouette was released in 1986 but was later recalled due to cracking around the window. The Air Max 1 was then rereleased in 1987, albeit with a smaller portion of exposed Air. Now, it seems Nike will be making the AM1 ’86 a regular within their release catalogue as multiple colourways have surfaced, including this leaked ‘Blue Safari’. A very early look at this pair appears to have turned up, and it hosts a full-Safari-print mudguard bolstered by the purple canvas-esque overlays and matching blue Swoosh and liner. Down below, the midsole has been yellowed to exude a faux-vintage vibe.

Nike are yet to officially confirm the existence of the Nike Air Max 1 ’86 ‘Blue Safari’, but stay locked to Sneaker Freaker to keep updated.
