Boston retailer Concepts sends the Air Max 1 back to the late 1960s with the 'Heavy', a shoe inspired by the counterculture of that era. Its mixed-material upper is packed with references, including a cowhide overlay at the forefoot that nods to the dairy farm in Bethel, New York, where Woodstock took place.
Blue tie-dyed denim forms the main upper, with brown corduroy inside for a period-correct lining. A tiger camo print covers the mudguard, and different bandana patterns decorate the collar and heel. The two Swooshes do not match, one filled with florals and the other with stripes, and the tongue labels carry both Nike and Concepts logos. A splattered mud graphic on the midsole points back to that famous concert in the park.
