PHANTACi x Nike Air Max 1 “Grand Piano” (2024)

The Nike Air Max 1 ‘Grand Piano’ (model number HJ3966-110) is a striking retro of the original 2009 release, known for its sleek, piano-inspired design. The sneaker features a black and white patent leather upper, gold accents, a pink inner lining, and a distinctive piano-themed dubrae, combining elegance and streetwear style in one iconic silhouette.

This edition was exclusively released at PHANTACi, a boutique in Taipei, on April 27, 2024, for a highly limited in-store drop. A wider release followed on May 5, 2024 via Nike SNKRS in select regions, while StockX lists the release date as May 18, 2024, reflecting the first platform availability rather than the original drops. The retail price at release was $160.

The Air Max 1 ‘Grand Piano’ remains a coveted piece for collectors and sneaker enthusiasts alike. Its blend of premium materials, elegant colorway, and historical significance in the Air Max lineup make it a standout addition to any collection. For those who missed the original releases, secondary marketplaces such as StockX, GOAT, or Flight Club offer access, though prices there are typically above retail.
