The Long-Awaited Collaboration
Today Denham released their long-awaited collaboration with Nike. This collaboration could be the most exciting collaboration of the year! The first release of a triple footwear collaboration is released today. The first drop is the Denham X Nike Air Max 1.
Nike Air Max 1
The Nike Air Max 1 came on the market in 1987 and was Tinker Hatfield’s first Nike Air Max design. It is the first sneaker to feature visible Max Air. Many people consider this style as the greatest sneaker in history. Since its release many versions were made, different colorways, collaborations, limited-editions, and so on. And now, there’s another must-have, the Denham version.
About The Collaboration
Denham infused the iconic sneaker with Japanese denim authenticity. Applying their denim knowledge and experience to create an original denim colorway. A true eye-candy syle. Merging sustainable denim fabrics with the traditional, artisan craft and colored textured suede, it seamlessly melds together the best of both brands.
Details Of The Sneaker
The construction of the upper features Japanese Kakuju-tsunagi Sashiko stitches, indigo checkered denim, and indigo fishbone. These fabrics are woven by the Nihon Menpu mill in Japan. They combined these fabrics with natural tanned nubuck and indigo suede. A perfect match with denim as they will age nicely together.
More Details
The pay-off from the Denham brand, ‘The Truth is in the Details’ is visible on this collaboration. They made the lace tips from sustainable bamboo which are engraved with their iconic scissor logo, and the Nike ‘Swoosh’. Both are also used in gold on the insole of the sneaker.
Jason Denham About The Collaboration
Founder of Denham, Jason Denham, about the collaboration;
“We respected every design line in the sneaker and experimented using high-quality Japanese indigo materials. We blended premium Japanese fabrics, like sashiko indigo kimono and eco-dyed denim, for this inspiring collection.”
Matching Clothing Styles
To celebrate this unique collaboration Denham developed also a special matching indigo collection. This collection contains jeans, a worker jacket, a bowling shirt, and sweats, and some other musthaves. Also made with Sashiko stitching, and red button and rivet details.
Animation Video
To highlight the collaboration they made a very cool animation video.
