The Nike Air Max 1 "Patch" was a new version of running sneaker that gave birth to the Air Max line, and it quickly became one of the most popular models to release this year. Coming in tan, green, and black, the "Patch" series of AM1s was made to represent a deconstructed camouflage print. It appears that someone took that inspiration literally as the the upper was been removed from a pair of the aforementioned sneakers and a Huarache sole has been slapped on.
The work has been done by Instagram user @konglefoudeur, a 21-year-old artist from Belgium, and he used the green pair of the "Patch" Air Max 1, while applying a white midsole. Given that the Huarache first released just four years after the AM1 debuted in 1987, the molds of the sneakers fit rather well. It's an interesting mix nonetheless, especially considering that there were severe sizing issues with the most recent retro of the Huarache.
This trend of mix-matching sneakers has become a common practice, but this is one of the best examples to date.
