The first Nike Air Max 1 was released in 1987, and the 'Sport Red' was one of the first two colorways seen on the model. The red colorway is now considered one of the OG colours. On Air Max Day 2023, the 'Sport Red' released again, but this time as a golf model. The Nike Air Max 1 Golf 'Sport Red' stays true to the '87 Air Max 1, using sheet red mudguards and swooshes on a grey-white base. The model's insole features the Nike logo with text 'Golf' instead of Nike. The sole of the Nike Air Max 1 Golf 'Sport Red' has been modified in small ways to make the sneaker usable on the golf course.
