The Nike Air Max 1 Essential Light Bone/Psychic Blue utilizes Light Bone leather and Sanddrift Khaki suede overlays above white mesh fabric to define its misty neutral aesthetic.
American sportswear giant Nike unveiled the Air Max 1 in 1987, at the time aiming to create the look of speed. Decades later, the Air Max 1’s simplicity paired with innovation represents Nike’s uncanny ability to design for longevity, and the Air Max 1 is a favorite for colorway improvisation. At the Light Bone/Psychic Blue Nike Air Max 1 Essential, the Nike Swoosh in Psychic Blue accents the sides, playing off the visible midsole Air unit. The white midsole and black outsole finalize the look, while tonal Nike Air branding graces the rear heel and tongue.
In our opinion, the best feature within the Air Max 1 Light Bone is its leather and suede combination, which adds definition to the shoe’s aesthetic. The Nike Air Max 1 Essential Light Bone/Psychic Blue released on January 7, 2025, and retailed at $140.
