Now that the major championship season in golf has run its course, Nike has rolled out all of its limited edition drops for the season like “Live to Play” and “Always Fresh.” Despite that, it doesn’t appear that the brand is slowing down at all if the new Air Max 1 G “Sea Glass” is any indication.For Nike, it’s yet another fresh take on the AM1 with updates for golfers, a silhouette that the label has been paying particular attention to this year ever since Air Max Day 2023 and the return of the ’86 Big Bubble. As expected, the new “Sea Glass” colorway retains its larger-than-life Air unit along with raised tractions lugs underfoot for a tighter grip on the fairways.As for the color blocking, various neutrals make up the kicks’ quarter panels, overlays, mudguards, laces and Swooshes. The midsoles, meanwhile, are treated to a speckled effect similar to Nike’s U.S. Open pack that released earlier this year. The titular “Sea Glass” then provides the highlights, landing down on the eyelets, toe caps, Nike Air logos and insoles.To cop a pair of these kicks for $160 on Nike.com, check back in later on Hypegolf for an updated release date.Elsewhere in the world of Air Max, official images of the Nike Air Max 1 Puerto Rico “Blue Gale” have surfaced.
