Technology titan Apple has been teaming up with Nike for nearly two decades at this point, first beginning this long-standing partnership in 2006. Since then, the duo has worked on various technology and sportswear crossovers, mainly with Nike+, to track customers’ training sessions. Unfortunately for the world, no publicly available footwear has resulted from this partnership, and this stands true today as Apple CEO Tim Cook was rocking a 1-of-1 pair of the Nike Air Max 1 ‘86 OG Made on iPad.
The unique Air Max 1 '86 OG Made on iPad features an innovative design conceptualized and rendered on the new iPad Pro, showcased during today’s Apple keynote event. This model combines traditional materials with high-tech processes, dressed predominantly in white with dynamic accents. The canvas and leather upper boast an array of colorful dots along the mudguard, mirroring the vibrant hues encircling the iconic Nike Swoosh on the midfoot.
A standout detail is the tongue tag, which proudly states, "Made on iPad," commemorating the sneaker's digital craftsmanship. Below, the sneaker is finished with a classic white foam midsole that houses the original, larger four-chamber Air unit—a nod to the Air Max 1's initial design before a quality control recall. The ensemble is completed with a complementary gum rubber outsole, enhancing its aesthetic appeal while nodding to its vintage roots.
Unfortunately, the Nike Air Max 1 '86 OG Made on iPad is a one-of-a-kind creation not available for public purchase.
