This luxurious version of the iconic 1987 Air Max 1 is part of NikeLab’s Pinnacle collection, a product line dedicated to reimagining classic silhouettes with premium materials, minimalist design, and elevated craftsmanship. NikeLab serves as Nike’s experimental and design-focused branch, known for pushing innovation and offering limited-edition releases that blend sport and style.
The ‘Buff Gold’ colorway dresses the Air Max 1 in a tonal gold palette with a high-quality full-grain leather upper and a matching leather lining. Subtle branding and clean design lines reflect the minimalist ethos of the NikeLab aesthetic. The midsole features the signature visible Max Air unit for cushioning, while a cork insole and reflective elements add unique, refined details.
Originally released in February 2017, the sneaker retailed for $160 USD, and was targeted at the premium men’s lifestyle market. As with other NikeLab Pinnacle drops, the emphasis is on subtle luxury and timeless design rather than loud colors or branding.
