What better way to celebrate Nike Air Max Day than with a pair of boots designed after one of the most iconic footwear releases of all time. Released as part of the Revolution Pack, these Tiempo Legend VI mimic the Air Max 1, originally released in 1987. That is a serious amount of pressure for Nike’s heritage boot to take on, but the end result pays perfect homage.

Pairs available at soccer.com.
In order to create the signature Air Max 1 look, a layer of blue is added around the front lip of the boot.

Final note; if these boots look familair, they were actually released as part of a SCCRX Heritage Pack released last year. It features the same color palette, but is obviously designed for a different playing surface.
