Nike continues its creative .SWOOSH collection with the Air Max 1 ‘Big Head Origins’, a design that is sure to delight gaming fans and sneakerheads alike. The model is based on the classic Air Max 1, but integrates sophisticated details reminiscent of the legendary Donkey Kong Country.
The upper is made of cream-coloured mesh with hairy brown suede overlays reminiscent of Donkey Kong's fur. Eye-catching red and yellow highlights symbolise DK's famous tie and provide striking colour accents. The pixelated tongue, the Swoosh in jagged leather look and the special DS coins on the insole are clear allusions to the 16-bit aesthetic of the SNES classics.
Other highlights include the Nike Air logo in coin form on the heel and the speckled brown outsole, which perfectly rounds off the vintage look of the sneaker. The yellow midsole reinforces the retro vibes, while a special arcade-style shoe box further emphasises the gaming concept.
