Concepts is one of those sneaker boutiques that time after time pulls wild sneaker collaborations out of the bag, and continuing this streak is the rumored link-up between Concepts and Nike on two Air Max 1s.
Deon Point, the creative director of Concepts, isn’t afraid of going bold. As these two leaked pairs show, there’s not been a detail or element left untouched, as both AM1s sport uppers made from mix-and-match contrasting materials, combining bovine fur with denim, splashes of corduroy with paisley prints, floral Swooshes with striped ones, and on the second pair, a similar combination of denim and paisley appears alongside camouflage prints, and patterns inspired by Native American art.

The busy combination happens to work despite the clashing mix of colors, as subtle touches such as lightly distressed heel embroidery in white, a slightly speckled midsole, natural and gum outsoles, and rainbow-colored Concepts branding on the tongue help to bring the looks together.
For now, @kangofmemphis‘ pictures are the only shots of the sneaker. Take a look at the images above, and stay tuned to HYPEBEAST for more information about the speculated Concepts x Nike Air Max 1 SP pack as news surrounding the release follows.
