Laika Studios are ready to release their next comedic adventure this month, following in the footsteps of 2016’s Kubo & The Two Strings. Of course, this means a new project from Nike as well, which sees the Air Max 1 remade with colorful patterns and materials.
Nike’s Partnership with Laika Studios continues this year, as the Portland-based studio is getting ready to release their latest stop-motion film, Missing Link. The new movie stars Mr. Link, a zany character on a globe-trotting comedic adventure. Perhaps Link’s most notable feature is the hugely impressive suit he wears, which makes use of a variety of patterns and colors, all of which made it onto the project with Nike, the Air Max 1. The shoe features a mix of materials to help accentuate these patterns, beginning with a flat white mesh for the base. The mudguard and collar lining are printed with a checkerboard pattern in mustard yellow with brown accents, while forest green corduroy takes over each quarter panel. Hairy tan suede is added to the heel counter and midfoot paneling for a more neutral look, while a brown midsole complete the Nike Air Max Susan.
