The Air Max 1 was initially designed as an homage to the architecture of the Centre Pompidou in Paris, France. In 2015, Nike redesigned the shoe to include a no-sew construction. The Air Max 1 SP Patch features a white-based mesh upper with grey mesh overlays, and Obsidian leather details on the mudguard and Swoosh. The sneaker also boasts red accents on the top eyelets, Velcro patches, and Air unit.
