About Nike Air Max 1 Shoes
The Air Max 1 is recognised as the first Nike shoe to expose the Air unit through a visible window. Its layered running upper commonly uses flat laces.
Because the Air Max 1 uses a heritage running upper, replacement laces should remain close to the original shape, width and length rather than being selected only by colour.
Choosing Replacement Laces for Nike Air Max 1
A medium flat lace is the closest starting point for most Nike Air Max 1 releases. Pear's current reference lists flat laces, although special editions, children's sizes and later versions can differ.
Measure one original lace from tip to tip and compare its width before ordering. This is more reliable than using the model name alone.
Choosing Colours for Nike Air Max 1 Laces
Neutral colours preserve the familiar Air Max 1 appearance, while contrast colours can highlight the Swoosh, upper panels, heel details or sole.
Keep the replacement close to the original width so the new colour changes the style without making the lace appear oversized or too narrow.
Caring for Nike Air Max 1 Shoelaces
Remove the laces before cleaning and hand-wash them gently with mild soap and cool or lukewarm water. Air-dry them completely before relacing.
Avoid bleach, aggressive scrubbing and high heat, particularly on coloured, reflective, personalised or metal-aglet laces.
