Sneaker of the Week: Nike Air Max 1 V SP Monotone Pack

The Nike Air Max 1 goes full on utilitarian with this latest look, which feels somewhat military-inspired based on the choice of materials alone. We've seen the runner dressed in all types of fabrics but this pair almost feels like a combat boot and that in itself is intriguing enough to become the Sneaker of the Week.

Canvas and Hyperfuse play a heavy role in the upper of each tonal colorway and the materials contrast each other well. However, both are durable in their own way and where the fused rubber provides protection from the elements, the heavy canvas lets the foot breathe a bit. In place of the tongue tag is a Velcro loop pile and Velcro patch to add another layer of texture to each shoe.

If you're wondering when these clean runners will land at NikeLab, sites like Hypebeast have the expected launch set for sometime in March. Be it beige, grey or black, any look would be a great addition to your current wardrobe.
