Nike Air Max 1 '86 Big Bubble Obsidian - Grey - UK 8.5

The 'Big Bubble' refers to the larger visible Air unit in the heel, a feature present in the 1986 original and faithfully reproduced here, distinguishing it from later Air Max 1 models with smaller visible Air units.

While it offers cushioning from the Air unit, these are primarily lifestyle sneakers designed for casual wear and historical appreciation, not for high-impact athletic activities.

Obsidian is the original colorway released in the 80s, characterized by its deep blue hues combined with beige overlays and white mesh, creating a classic and timeless aesthetic.

The upper is constructed from a mix of textile materials and suede, with a textile lining and a rubber sole for traction.

It is recommended to store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, preferably in their original box to maintain their shape and protect them from dust.

This model is a reproduction of the 1986 version, specifically highlighting the larger 'Big Bubble' Air unit and original color blocking. Newer models may feature different materials, colorways, or slightly updated construction for contemporary comfort and style.

Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, try a suede eraser.

Ensure the rubber sole is clean and dry. Wear on appropriate surfaces; excessive wear on rough surfaces can affect traction over time.

Ensure you have the correct size. Break in the shoes gradually with short periods of wear. Check for any internal tags or seams causing irritation.
