de Nike à Nike Air Max 1 Premium 2 Shoes by turning the clock back to 1986, the year the Nike Womens WMNS Skyelux Mens Nike air jordan reveal 834064-003 gray basketball shoes sneakers Air Max we’ve come to love, debuting in 1987 and earning its spot in the Mount Rushmore of sneakers.

It’s hard to ignore that since its launch, the Air unit on the One began its shrinkage from “Big Bubble” status. This reduction in size wasn’t limited to just the Nike Air Max 97 G NRG golfsko White 1 as the Swoosh decided to retool all of the visible Air units of the 1980s/1990s for longevity. Up until 2005, Air Max units — including the 93, 95, 97, and so on — featured a distinct seam that cut across the bubble. It was presumably where the upper and lower portions of the Air Max unit were fused together — and also where the Max began its disintegration. Air Max collectors have far too many deflated Air bubbles in their collections, and although the pairs from 2006 and beyond have distinctively smaller Air units, they do have a longer shelf life.

The smaller Air unit was hardly the lone complaint; there was a lot to be perturbed about the Nike Womens WMNS Skyelux until the mid-late 2010s. The toe-box, mesh, tongue length, heel shape — nothing was hidden from nit-picking. That is, until Nike introduced the “Anniversary” edition of the Nike Womens WMNS Skyelux in 2017, delivering the OG “Sport Red” among several other OG and modern colorways.

In comes the 2023 “Big Bubble” edition, officially called the Nike Womens WMNS Skyelux ’86. In this side-by-side comparison with the 2017 Anniversary pair, you can see the distinct modifications that bring Tinker Hatfield’s first Air Max running shoe back to square one. Check out the comparison notes ahead, below the “Where to Buy” section. The shoe releases on March 26 for $150 USD.

What are the differences between the 2023 “Big Bubble” and the 2017 “Anniversary”?

• While the 2017 goes the retro route, reviving the orange lid and diagonal silver striping, the Nike Womens WMNS Skyelux ’86 debuts a worn-out aesthetic as if pulled out of a closet of unreleased samples.
• It’s as clear as day – the Big Bubble conjures envy. It lives up to its name, coming in nearly double the size of the ’17 pair.
• Aside from the enlarged Air unit, the dimensions of the heel are completely different. The heel of the midsole tapers upwards and the mudguard and heel protecter sit higher.
• Another shot of the heel reveals just how different the two releases are. The exterior finish on the 2023 pair is extremely smooth, whereas the past model features a texture.
• Toe-box shape has been a key focal point of debate. We’ll say it – the toe-box for Nike Womens WMNS Skyeluxs from 2010-2015 were misshapen. The 2017 fixed that issue, bringing the profile closer to the toes.  The toeguard on the 2023 Big Bubble sits considerable lower.

• The 2023 laces are a softer sport lace, whereas the 2017 version utilizes more rigid material similar to synthetic twine that just could not keep a knot together.

The labels have different shades of red (the 2017 appears more consistent to the Sport Red featured throughout the shoe). Both opt for nylon constructions, with the 2023 pair featuring a thicker nylon down the tongue.

The 2023 laces are a softer sport lace, whereas the 2017 version utilizes more rigid material similar to synthetic twine that just could not keep a knot together. Great upgrade.
