Nike Air Max 1 “Hyper Royal” sneakers are now available!

Hyper Royal is the contemporary iteration of the Nike Air Max 1. Designed by Tinker Hatfield, the Air Max has been dubbed by Nike as the "leader of the pack." According to Nike, the Air Max 1 "blends timeless design and cushioned comfort." It was also the first sneaker to feature the visible air cushioning system.

Nike Air Max 1 “Hyper Royal” sneakers feature a white midsole with visible cushioning that forms the base. Hyper Royal blue tones can be seen on the swoosh, mudguard, logo, eyestay, and eyelet. The upper features black tones and provides a clean contrast from the white and royal blue.

The upper is made of mixed materials, which may hinder the breathability. Users of the Nike Air Max 1 series have noticed that a mixed material upper doesn't add much to the breathability and comfort of the sneaker. Additionally, some users have noted that the sneakers have a stiff platform, which limits their versatility.

Customers can buy the shoe at Nike.com. Some other Nike Air Max 1 Essential colorways that you can purchase on Nike.com and official retailers are:

• White/ Summit White/ Black
• Light Bone/ Flax/ British Tan/ Black
• Black/ Anthracite
• Black/ Iron Grey/ University Red
