Though the term "basic" has developed a bit of negative connotation of late, it's how most would describe this iteration of Nike's Air Max 1. And there's nothing wrong with that.


Free of all the hype and hoopla of more heavily marketed editions, this "White/Black" colorway of the Nike classic is an ideal option for everyday wear. No crazy graphics. No patches to slap all-over. No futuristic tech to drive up the price. Just a good ol' sneaker that will work with just about any fit in your rotation this summer. Using a tried-and-true combination of leather and mesh, fans of the AM1 might be inclined to stock up on this pair as it just has all the qualities of a great, old-school sneaker. Available on Finish Line, 'heads looking to cop right now can save a few dollars as the shoe is currently marked down to $95 from its original retail price of $110.
