Nike Air Max 1 '86 Big Bubble Obsidian - Size UK 6.5

The 'Big Bubble' refers to the larger, more prominent visible Air unit in the heel, which was a key design element of the original 1986 prototype and is faithfully reproduced in this model, distinguishing it from later Air Max 1 iterations with smaller Air units.

The Nike Air Max 1 ‘86 Big Bubble Obsidian is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker for casual wear. While it offers comfort and traction, it is not intended for high-impact athletic activities.

The Nike Air Max 1 generally fits true to size for most individuals. However, slight variations can occur. It is recommended to consult Nike's official size chart or try them on if possible for the best fit.

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

Use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the suede in water.

Obsidian is the original colorway that the Nike Air Max 1 was released with in the 1980s, making this particular version a historically accurate reproduction and a nod to the shoe's heritage.

While the rubber sole offers some protection, the suede and textile materials are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve their material integrity.

Gently brush the suede with a suede brush in one direction. For tougher marks, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth with a specialized suede cleaner, then allow to air dry.

Remove laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before re-lacing.

Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that may be affecting grip.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause colors to fade. Store the shoes in their original box or a dust bag.
