Nike Air Max 1 Ultra Moire "Black/White/Smoke"
A few weeks ago, Nike released a special rendition of the Air Max 1 silhouette dubbed “The 6” which acted as an ode to Toronto, Canada. For those that were unable to secure a pair, Nike is now set to release the Nike Air Max 1 Ultra Moire “Black/White/Smoke” which copies over a near identical colorway. The updated version does away with the milky Air Max unit in the midsole and is replaced with a clear version. The kicks also sport a micro-perforated black upper with a white mudguard. There’s also a reflective 3M surface evidenced on the bottom half of the panel. Set to drop in Spring 2016, stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.
