Ready for the summer with the Nike WMNS Air Max 1 Guava Ice
The Nike WMNS Air Max 1 Guava Ice is more than a solid choice for the hotter months. It’s also another example of the growing collection of WMNS heat from the Swoosh brand. The Air Max 1 is really tough to get wrong.
With the long-established reputation of being the start of the legendary AM line, this shoe is a guaranteed hit. Every iteration seems to just be another piece of the hype puzzle. Here, we see yet another of the gorgeous WMNS editions in a premium build.
As you might expect, the base is still in a breathable mesh. Frankly, it would be shocking to see otherwise. On top of this breathable layer are overlays of a rich nubuck.
It’s a bit fascinating to see that material choice on this color scheme. Typically, this peach sort of take is accompanied by a slightly glossier leather.
Nonetheless, it takes nothing away from the shoe’s overall appeal. The nearly identical hue on the branding notes makes this an almost entirely tonal color scheme. We even see the same shades on the outsole, completing the look rather nicely.
Thanks to the addition of a White midsole, we do get a fair amount of contrast on this release. But, that’s hardly the point, right? This colorway isn’t about visual complexity or a combo theme.
More so, this is a purely summer-centric look. The choice of going with nubuck as the main premium overlays, however, may beg to differ.
Unlike knit constructions or even an engineered mesh, nubuck provides a bit more heft by way of protection. You won’t really feel the weight differences, but this material will be a bit better at taking on the drearier and rainier days as well.
Combine this with its glowing color and you’ve got yourself a heck of an Air Max 1 release!
