The Nike Air Max 1 '86 'Big Bubble Obsidian' (2023) revisits one of the most important chapters in Nike sneaker history, recreating the oversized visible Air unit associated with the earliest Air Max 1 production. Released on September 9, 2023, under style code DQ3989-101, the silhouette draws directly from the original 1986 design while retaining the unmistakable character of the Air Max 1. Nike used CT scans of an original pair to replicate the larger Air unit and window, bringing the distinctive 'Big Bubble' construction back to a contemporary release.
Overview
The Nike Air Max 1 '86 'Big Bubble Obsidian' features a White, Obsidian and Light Neutral Grey colour palette, with a white mesh base complemented by grey suede overlays across the upper. Obsidian appears prominently on the Swoosh and mudguard, while University Red accents add contrast to the branding and outsole. Underfoot, the defining feature is the enlarged visible Air unit, designed to mirror the proportions of the original Air Max 1 from 1986. The result is a faithful interpretation of an influential Nike design, balancing archival-inspired detailing with the everyday appeal of the Air Max 1 silhouette. Authenticity is guaranteed with PUSHAS, where every pair is meticulously authenticated by our team of experts.
