The Nike Air Max 1 HUF in Pear is a slick throwback to a cult classic. Originally released as a hyperstrike in 2004, this colorway returns in 2024 alongside bold orange and pink versions—but there’s something about this grey and pear green combo that just hits different. It’s a timeless pairing, especially if you’re a fan of the Air Max 1.
Branding is on point here. The tongue tag and insole both sport the HUF logo, giving this pair a collaborative stamp of approval.
I held off on grabbing these at first, but when they hit super sale on HUF’s site (with free shipping, no less), I finally had to pull the trigger. No regrets—the grey and lime green combo feels like a classic, and in-hand, the details come together nicely. Love the colorway and having a chance to own an iconic collab.
This release gets the special treatment with a HUF-branded box in a matching green hue. Inside, you’ll find two lace options: a flat black pair and a skinny oval lace in black with pear green accents. Nike and HUF even threw in a little chihuahua keychain, which is a fun extra.
Materials
Nike mixed it up with the materials on this pair. The mudguard and u-throat feature a cracked leather texture, while the toebox is smooth leather for a sleek contrast. The Swoosh and ankle collar also come in leather, but the tongue, side and back panels switch things up with a soft suede/nubuck finish. It’s not the most mind-blowing quality ever, but when you take it all in together, the shoe definitely feels premium.
Fit & Comfort
True to size is the move with these. There’s not a ton of cushion coming from the Air bubble, but the overall comfort is solid—pretty much what you’d expect from a classic Air Max 1. Whether you’re rocking these on the daily or keeping them on ice for special fits, they deliver.
If these are sold out online, you can try looking for them on eBay.
