Drawing Inspiration all Summer | Nike Air Max 1 86 Lost Sketch

The possibilities of good old fashioned imagination never cease to disappoint, unable to be defined by the boundaries of time. Tinker Hatfield is no stranger to pushing the boat out when it comes to both innovative designs and commendable self-expression, and the Nike Air Max 1 86 Lost Sketch upholds this legacy flawlessly.

Drawing inspo (quite literally) from the designers early sketches, the Nike Air Max 1 86 Lost Sketch combines the past with the present through a seemingly ‘worn but in perfect condition’ type of vibe, almost as if lost for a while, and then found. If the blend of gently worn finishing on the overlay and aged midsole didn’t already scream ‘preloved’ aesthetic, then the boxing most definitely will, sporting a black base colour with dominant red ‘scratched’ detailing. 

Following the iconic silhouette and pioneering of the Nike Air Max 1 86 OG Big Bubble, the Nike Air Max 1 utilises Hatfield’s creative eye to provide us with a timeless and versatile design. A fun, safari-patterned mudguard blends each asset of the trainer with ease, delivering a diffused grey and blue colourway that is perfect for Summer days. And of course, it wouldn’t be Nike Air Max 1 without the iconic visible air cushioning which is accompanied below an amateur-like drawing of the ‘AIR’ branding.
