From the 2007 atmos x Nike Air Max 1 “Elephant” that many avid collectors refer to as a ‘grail’, to the upcoming Air Max 1 ’87 “Coconut Milk” that is detailed with reptile skin texture and safari prints, Nike has never been shy to dress its iconic silhouettes with animal prints.

With an already strong lineup of releases coming into the new year, the Swoosh brand is preparing yet another exciting iteration of the Air Max 1 ’87 that features an eccentric mix of tiger stripes, cowhide patterns and paisley prints in the form of the “Tiger Swoosh”.

Besides the wild mix of visible patterns on its uppers, the women’s exclusive Air Max 1 ’87 “Tiger Swoosh” also features an interesting amalgam of materials. Boasting tumbled leather side panels, satin liners, velvet laces and embroidery on its heel tab, this composition is sure to send even the most ardent sneakerheads into a frenzy. Rounding up its details is a light blue grooved outsole and a sail mudguard which features the Air Max’s iconic transparent Air unit.

Enjoy an official look at the Air Max 1 ’87 “Tiger Swoosh” and expect it to arrive in the coming months at a retail price of $150 USD.
