Update December 5, 2022: The Air Max 1 ‘Ugly Duckling Pack’ launches Stateside on December 20 and will include the ‘Pecan’ and ‘Honeydew’ colourways.

The Nike Air Max 1 celebrated its 35th anniversary this year, with the sneakerhead staple perpetually in style since its inception in 1987. While ostensibly paying homage to the classic Nike Dunk ‘Ugly Duckling’ pack that took flight in 2001, the latest colourway nevertheless bears next to no resemblance to its older waterfowl, the palette this time arriving in an autumnal mix of ‘Pecan’, ‘Baroque Brown’ and ‘Yellow Ochre’.

The perfect mix for crunching on Fall leaves, the model is illuminated by ‘Pecan’ on the quarter panels and heel overlays, while ‘Baroque Brown’ makes its way to the tongues, toe boxes and collars. ‘Yellow Ochre’ provides aesthetic depth to the laces, Swooshes and tongue branding, and duck silhouettes replace the classic Nike branding on the heels.

The Nike Air Max 1 ‘Ugly Duckling’ is scheduled to arrive at retailers like Asphalt Gold on November 22.

Designed by the maestro Tinker Hatfield, the sneaker was the maiden Air Max model released by the Beaverton brand. For more on the Air Max 1, make sure to check out the best women’s Air Max 1s of 2022!
