After bringing back the Nike Air Trainer 1 from the ‘Shima Shima’ pack from 2003 last year, Nike are tapping their extensive archive once again. And the Nike Air Max 1 ‘Shima Shima’ is set to make a welcomed return later this month.

The ‘Shima Shima’ pack was originally released in 2003 and consisted of the Nike Air Trainer 1, Dunk High, and Air Max 1, with multiple colourways of each sneaker. The pack was initially just a Japanese and Canadian exclusive, so sneakerheads across the globe had to get creative to hunt down pairs in their respective sizes.

The sneaker uses colourblocking and materials similar to the OG Navy colourway of the ‘Shima Shima’ pack, replacing Navy with Plum Eclipse throughout. Summit White and Wolf Grey make up the leather and nubuck upper, with Plum Eclipse used on the mudguard, Swoosh, and laces. Kanji features on the tongue tag and insole in Red, and the signature pinstripe liner adopts Plum Eclipse. The white midsole features an Air Max unit in the heel with Wolf Grey and Plum Eclipse finishing off the sneaker’s outsole.

Although details aren’t confirmed, the Nike Air Max 1 ‘Shima Shima’ is expected to release sometime in March via SNKRS and at select retailers for $160. Keep it locked to SF for updates as they surface.
