JACQUEMUS and Nike's Ongoing Collaboration
JACQUEMUS, known for its elegant and luxurious fashion pieces, continues its creative collaboration with Nike, adding unique twists to iconic sneaker models. Following successful reinterpretations of the Humaras and Air Force 1s, the partnership is set to release the NIKE Air Max 1 86 x JACQUEMUS pack, featuring three stunning colorways: red, white, and silver/blue.
Meticulous Attention to Detail
Each sneaker in this pack is designed with meticulous attention to detail, a hallmark of JACQUEMUS's approach to fashion. The sneakers feature a luxurious JACQUEMUS hang tag, thick laces that enhance their visual texture, and a distinctive small metallic Swoosh that sweeps elegantly across the body, adding a subtle yet impactful brand signature. This careful craftsmanship ensures that each pair stands out as a unique piece of art.
Dark Red Colorway
The red colorway is a striking ensemble, enveloped entirely in various shades and textures of red, from the sole to the tip of the tongue. This monochromatic approach is bold and visually compelling, making a statement with its varied material finishes. The use of different textures and shades creates a dynamic look that is sure to turn heads and make an impact.
The Sophisticated Summit White Colorway
Next, the "Summit White" iteration presents a more subdued yet equally sophisticated palette. It features an array of white hues, with the mid-body in a suede darker white shade contrasting against a bone-white midsole. This colorway epitomizes JACQUEMUS's flair for understated elegance. The subtle contrast between the shades of white adds depth and interest to the design, making it perfect for those who prefer a more classic look.
A Striking Silver/Blue Colorway
The blue variant of the pack offers a striking metallic silver upper, reminiscent of the iconic 'Silver Bullet' colorway, but with a twist. The deep navy hue of the outsole adds a depth of color, creating a sophisticated balance between classic and contemporary aesthetics. This colorway is perfect for those who want a modern twist on a classic design.
Unique Design Modifications
Chief among these designs is the altered Air unit window, which is elongated and rectangular on the lateral side but shrunken and squared off on the medial side — a tweak that Jacquemus describes as “ROUND AND SQUARE AIR FOR THE FIRST TIME.” An altered toe bumper that creeps onto the upper gives the design a more pointed, angular look. The material composition also varies with each model: the white pair boasts a partially perforated leather upper while the silver and red pairs opt for mesh. All three are united by small metallic Swooshes, a mudguard with a raw edge, and a higher-than-standard top stitch, furthering the toebox’s pointy aesthetic.
Additional Features and Release Information
Co-branded tongues and special leather lace tips add to the unique look. A custom outsole pattern is present on the right sneaker, swapping out the standard waffle traction and Nike embellishment for a Jacquemus hit and round nodules. The collar, thinner than a standard Air Max 1 collar, features a quilted liner, and the shoes boast custom hangtags.
While the exact release date is yet to be announced, the NIKE Air Max 1 86 x JACQUEMUS pack is expected to drop in June.
