Nike Air Max 1 '86 OG (Big Bubble) 'White / Red': Review & On-Feet

Taking us back to 1986, Nike is set to launch this Air Max 1 that pays homage to the originals which featured a larger Air bubble, chunkier midsole, and a different looking upper. Back in the 80s, the original pairs were recalled and redesigned / relaunched with the smaller Air unit that we know today, but this retro is a nod to one of the best little known stories surrounding the iconic Air Max lineage ever told.

I totally agree. When I first saw the big bubble I was taken aback at the look and shape of the shoe. After seeing it a few times and remembering the history, I came around to accepting it for what it was. Waiting for my pair to arrive from the shock drop. Definitely an historic pair.

Just got mine in from the shock drop - love these! Definitely different in a few ways to my other AM1s but I'm here for it! Great review as always Sean

🔥🔥🔥🔥 GOOD LUCK TO ALL going for these at retail. Happy AIR MAX DAY!

I never got an air max 1 and missed out on the 2017 release. I am glad that I patiently waited for something like this. This is the air max 1 returned to it's true, originally intended state. This is like the master sword or Ocarina of Time of sneakers to me. This is my grail and my first sneaker that I am doubling up on!

Thank you for the great video and honest review. These look incredible. I hope I can get these on the release day 👍🤞

Your the best in the game. You get every sneaker I go after or want. Your sneaker versatility is crazy. I prefer the big bubble actually after wearing both.

2017 > 2023. Doubled up on 2017, just too nice! Hope all the AM heads get their pairs! Great review as always!

4:25 I noticed that about the different shade too, it reminds me of the tag on the radiant red am90

[LotusAsakura]

I don't see too much hype on these and that makes me happy. Hopefully an easy pickup cus these are a must cop.

[kevincollins]

Quite excited for these. Day one purchase for me. I will be wearing all my airmax 1's this week in excitement .

[melvinquah]

I would try to get it if I can, this would be my very first Air Max 1 pair ever, I’m just fascinated by that large bubble.

[JuberryMTL]

Got my pair and I'm so in love with them. Might double-up because they're so comfortable, I can see myself wearing these to the ground.

[mrotaveria]

I had one of these in 88 :O, the white/blue colourway that came 2nd. I hope to have a pair again.

[nevillejames]

I really appreciate the sizing portion of your videos. I do appreciate your honesty review of the shoe. Thx.

This reminds me of when converse started to reissue their classic 1974 ox shape likewise when vans brought in the OG line with the thicker midsoles.

great video man, I've wanted these since I was a kid, and remember seeing the Big Bubble 86 version in stores when I was very small, at a now defunct Sports Store we had here in the UK called Hargreaves Intersport. I pestered my parents so much for em, even though I had kid sized feet and couldn't wear em anyway hahah!!! patiently waiting for my pair to arrive. I think for the older heads who knew the back story this is a must cop... new peeps can enjoy the retro nostalgia as well!!!!

[VinG]

Great review as always Sean! I’m geekin out for this pair, I decided to purchase these prior to release for little extra 💸 and may double up on these since we may not see this model for a while. I have to say Nike has come through with bringing back history with Jordan’s and now AM1 big bubble which has its distinct retro look that I welcome, but still enjoy the distinct details that make the AM1 87 look super clean. ✌🏼

[sideswipe]

Really hoping I can get a pair of these, one of the few must cops for me this year! I'm coming around to the shape and big bubble and starting to really love these. The story behind this pair makes it a easy cop, it would be cool if they do a PRM version later on with better materials. Was waiting for this review Sean, thanks!

[jccarter]

The originals all day!! That's how I remember and why I fell in love with the Nike brand, I was 14 when these came out.
