A certified classic is being re-released this year with just a few differences from the original. Nike looks to be returning the Atmos x Nike Air Max 1 ‘Safari’ and with a colorway of Flax-Kumquat/Chestnut-Black-Sail it’s been over a decade since the last time this silhouette sporting such a wildlife-like detailing seen a retailer’s shelf. Now considering it’s been so long since the last time we seen these, Nike Sportswear adding noticeable features to them, comes as no surprise. I say that to say this, I feel it is complimentary to add to a sneaker some of the popular details in present day to give that OG shoe a more modern look. Plus not to mention the rug-like fabric added, personally, gives the ‘Safari’ theme/graphic a boost in overall appeal.
With overseas/international retailers apparently pointing at a February 27th release, we will continue to monitor this release closely to help keep you guys updated accordingly. Check out the official pictures below provided by Nike and down in the comments let us know if they will be a DEF Cop or DEF Not.
