Nike pays homage to the Japanese star festival Tanabata with this pair of Air Max 1s. The festival celebrates the coming together of the two lovers, Orihime and Hikoboshi, who are separated by the milky way and are only allowed to meet once a year, on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. The influences can be seen on the kicks through the usage of stars on the side panels, as well as the glittery Tanabata tongue tag. Patent leather lovers will surely want to check these joints out.
Available soon at selected Nike stockists across South East Asia.
