Air Max 1 Pernambucano

These sneakers are beautiful! Originally released as the Air Max1 'Lanceiro' and created in a collaboration between sneaker website SneakersBR x Nike.

This limited edition sneaker came in an exclusive wooden box filled with some great extras!



For the rest of us mere mortals, who were unable to get our paws on the limited edition pack, the people at Nike Sportswear have released them in a QS version today, known as the Pernambucano.

The upper on this sneaker is made up of suede, mesh and treated leather. In what I can only describe as one of the most amazing colorways ever to grace the MAX 1.

The Swoosh blends from beige into the blue which takes up the majority of the heel area. The sole is splattered with beige pattern and the underside has been made completely clear.

The back of the sneaker is emblazoned with the phrase "Esta Manis No Mesmo Lugar", which translates into “one step ahead and you are no longer in the same place”. Which in my opinion completes this beautiful sneaker.

Sadly they do not come with the extras that graced the 'Lanceiro' pack. But they are just as beautiful and hard to come by in the UK. As of yet I cannot find a retailer stocking these, but I'm gonna keep my eyes pealed and as soon as I hear some news, I'll let you guys know.
