Yeah, the images look like they’ve come out the loser in a ferret fight… but the style is palpable! And that tracks, because this upcoming Air Max 1 is Nike’s celebration of Major League Baseball’s Atlanta Braves – the pride of Georgia, and North America’s oldest continuously operating pro sports franchise. Bravos fans will be praying this one’s as easy to cop as a can of corn.
Coming in hot after Atlanta scored themselves a Nike City Connect jersey this season, this AM1 gives a valiant salute to the Braves’ baby-blue uniforms of the 80s. It rocks a white base, powder blue patent leather at the heel and toe, and a deep cobalt blue on the interior and Swoosh. That sweeping ‘Atlanta’ script hits each heel, while stockier block lettering spells out the team’s title on the insoles. The tongues are stamped with Atlanta’s ‘ATL’ code, and to round it all out, the dubraes feature MLB’s classic batter logo.
