Nike is kicking off the celebration of Air Max Day on March 26 with a limited-edition card wallet inspired by the classic Air Max 1 silhouette.
Mirroring the aesthetic of the original ’86 design and its OG ‘Royal’ colorway, the accessory sports a white base with university blue accents.
Besides the quintessential ‘swoosh’, a replica of the shoe’s Air bubble unit is seen on the commemorative wallet, imagined as a flattened Air Max 1.

First introduced by Tinker Hatfield in 1987, the Air Max line has indubitably revolutionized the sneaker industry with its visible Air cushioning technology.
This savvy homage also steps up on practicality, with a cash sleeve for bills and five card slots to keep your essentials organized. Priced at US$30, it’s a literally pocket-friendly way for sneakerheads to showcase their love for the Air Max legacy.
