To celebrate 35 years of a sneaker icon, Concepts drop their second Air Max 1 in festival fashion. In August of 1969, almost half a million festival-goers made a trip to Bethel, NY and sent a message to the universe. They were dressed in the eclectic fashions of the time: faded denim, surplus fatigues (including M-65s and tiger camo), corduroy, and decorated with peaceful protest motifs. Jackets carried fringes and hair was decorated with flowers. The event concluded as a lasting symbol of the ’60s counterculture.
With the Concepts x Nike Air Max 1 SP “Heavy,” Concepts linked the legacy of that August weekend to a lineage of radical youth expression. The Air Max 1's feature denim, tiger camo, and leather. These three materials juxtapose with the softness of wide wale corduroy at the collar. The “Heavy” also includes patterned elements of bandanna, cowhide, and woven material panels.
