The Air Max 1 has been on a good run this year, partially due to the A.P.C. collaborations, but Nike has produced a number of solid renditions for general release as well. This black on black, taped seam version offers a more substantial feel and enough protection to get you through some moderate winter weather.

In the wake of all the exposure, after the dust has settled on previous collections, and as we await next season's product at the end of another year, it's the ideal time to consider Gyakusou in a broader context. Alongside some of the iconic imagery created around the brand, David Hellqvist examines a collaboration between Nike and Undercover that has been successful in design, performance, and sales terms ever since its arrival in 2010.

Nike's latest Gyakusou collection was released yesterday. The sub-brand has weathered some of the initial trend driven hype and seems to have found its footing within the running landscape, offering highly functional, great looking pieces. This collection is one of the strongest yet; there's a great mix of colour and tonal fabrics, and the footwear has evolved nicely as well.

Words

There is just something about this shoe. I was tempted to purchase the updated Lunar version earlier this year, but held off, perhaps for these. The simple addition of the gum sole to the classic white or black leather upper sets them off just right.
