The Supreme x Nike Air Max 1 '87 SP Varsity Purple is Supreme's first-ever collaboration with Nike on the Air Max 1—part of a four-color pack released for the S/S25 season. The collaboration follows a long line of collaborations in which the streetwear brand reinterprets classic Swoosh silhouettes through luxe materials and understated yet bold branding. The shoe debuted on March 20, 2025 , and is available at Aplug, a retailer specializing in original, limited-edition sneakers and lifestyle apparel. If you collect Air Maxes or are looking for a pair that blends '90s heritage with modern street cred, this is a shoe worth your attention.

A high-quality full-grain leather upper in a rich, rich purple hue covers almost the entire construction. This is contrasted by a white Swoosh with a snakeskin texture —an embossed leather texture that not only looks premium but also influences the way the shoe catches the light. A mini-Swoosh detail embroidered on the forefoot, metallic silver lace dubraes with Supreme lettering, and "1994" embroidery on the vamp (a reference to the brand's founding year) enhance the collectible feel. The heel features "World Famous" in cursive—subtle yet distinctive branding. A white foam sole with a visible Max Air unit in the heel maintains the classic Air Max 1 '87 silhouette: layered panels, a rounded toe, a low ankle line, and the iconic midsole.

This model is a classic lifestyle and streetwear shoe—perfect for everyday use, city walks, photo shoots, or collectibles. Style them with neutral bases: black or light denim, khaki, or opt for a monochromatic look with purple accessories—a bomber jacket, varsity jacket, or track pants. Red Supreme accents (e.g., a red T-shirt underneath the jacket) create an interesting contrast. Reveal the metallic dubraes —leaving the laces looser and with a visible box logo on the tongue enhances the premium feel of the entire pair. Before first wear, use a leather waterproofing product (light spray) and allow to dry. Clean with a soft brush and a dedicated full-grain leather product; conditioner should be applied sparingly to avoid losing the snakeskin texture of the Swoosh. Dry naturally with a filling (paper/shoe trees) to maintain shape.

What makes the Supreme x Nike Air Max 1 '87 SP Varsity Purple stand out?

• Highly finished full-grain leather – thick, rich in color, provides durability and a smooth feel; protects the foot from abrasion and maintains the shape of the shoes for a long time.
• Snakeskin Textured Swoosh - The embossed leather texture is both aesthetic and functional, adding structure and influencing the way the shoe catches light, enhancing its premium feel.
• A white embroidered mini-Swoosh on the vamp —a subtle detail that Supreme fans will recognize—adds authenticity and sets this version apart from standard Air Maxes.
• Visible Max Air unit in the heel – provides real walking comfort and shock absorption; the aesthetic of compressed air in a capsule with internal tensile fibers provides both functionality and a collectible feel.
• Metallic silver lace dubraes with Supreme lettering – a premium piece that can be revealed and displayed; it changes the entire feel of the shoe and boosts the pair’s street cred.
• Embroidered "1994" on the vamp and "World Famous" in cursive on the heel – precise branding details that know who they're for; each element carries meaning and historical context.
• The foam midsole works in harmony with Max Air - a soft "bounce" when walking and long-lasting elasticity without losing functionality; the construction stabilizes the shoe and provides lifestyle comfort.
• Red box logo on the tongue and insole – a recognizable Supreme brand signal; adds collector value and guarantees authenticity.

How to choose the size of the Supreme x Nike Air Max 1 '87 SP Varsity Purple?

The Air Max 1 '87 typically fits True to Size (TTS) —use your regular size if you have a narrow or standard-sized foot. The full-leather upper in this version may feel a bit stiff on initial wear, so those with wide feet or those who prefer a more roomy fit should consider ordering half a size up (+0.5). The full-grain leather naturally stretches with wear, so some initial stiffness is normal. If you're between sizes, go up—lacing the shoe will achieve a tighter fit, but the tight leather will quickly show its signs of wear.
