The Nike Air Max 1 Denham is a collaboration between Amsterdam-based denim manufacturer DENHAM The Jean Maker and Nike, released on September 18, 2020. The design fuses an artisanal approach to denim with the iconic Air Max 1 sneaker, telling the story of traditional Japanese textile repair and reinforcement techniques (sashiko/boro). The model was conceived as a limited, collector's edition with a run of approximately 6,800 pairs, aimed at fans of premium denim and sneaker enthusiasts. At Aplug, you'll find authentic pairs that have been verified and are ready for collection or everyday wear.

The upper combines deep indigo navy suede and nubuck panels on the toe and heel with denim fabric on the forefoot, dominated by shades of Blue Void and Coastal Blue, broken up by touches of Vachetta Tan and Sail . Distinctive, visible stitching in traditional sashiko style creates a decorative, handcrafted pattern on the side and front panels—not just for aesthetics, but a reflection of authentic craftsmanship. A light cream Swoosh, white laces, khaki tongue label, and red eyelet accents add contrast and clarity to the color scheme. Premium leather-lined interiors with gold-embossed insoles bear the wording "DENHAM The Jean Maker," while the classic sole with a visible Air unit and rubber outsole convey a hand-finished, premium streetwear feel with a denim narrative.

The Air Max 1 Denham pairs perfectly with tonal denim outfits—ideal for pairing with jeans, cargo pants, and overshirts, where layers of material enhance the artisanal and vintage feel. This model is perfect for urban outfits, especially in the fall, when heavier fabrics and oversized pieces dominate wardrobes. However, remember that indigo denim and suede are prone to staining—apply a waterproofing agent before your first outing, and avoid heavy use in the rain. Indigo may transfer slightly to light-colored socks in the first few weeks of wear, so be careful during the initial wear phase.

What makes the Nike Air Max 1 Denham stand out?

• Layered premium materials – Indigo-dyed denim blends with soft suede and nubuck to create rich, multi-dimensional textures; each material reacts differently to light and develops its own patina, adding authenticity over time.
• Traditional sashiko stitching – a handcrafted style of Japanese stitching that reinforces the panels is not just a decorative element, but reflects the artisanal nature of the collaboration and strengthens the structure of the shoe.
• Visible Air Heel Unit – A compressed Air unit embedded in the midsole foam absorbs shock and provides a distinctive, rebounding response under the heel, at the heart of Air Max comfort.
• Embossed gold-plated inserts – a luxurious finishing touch with the DENHAM The Jean Maker logo underlines the premium status and collector value of the pair.
• Cream Swoosh with visible contrast stitching – stitching details highlight the artisanal process and create visual contrast against the dark upper panels.
• Foam midsole with rubber outsole – Lightweight cushioning, a supportive stride and a rubber outsole provide traction and durability, even with intense urban use.
• Leather lining – premium lining enhances the comfort and durability of the shoe while also enhancing the feel of luxury craftsmanship.

How to choose the size of Nike Air Max 1 Denham?

The Nike Air Max 1 Denham generally fits true to size —for those with standard, narrow, or medium-sized feet, the recommended size is your normal size. However, the DENHAM version has extra layers of material, thicker padding, and stiffened panels, which impacts the fit. If you have wider feet or plan to wear thicker winter socks, consider ordering half a size larger (+0.5). Indigo denim doesn't have much stretch, so a size that's too tight might make a difference in the first few days of wear—it's better to opt for a slightly looser fit, which can be adjusted by lacing.
