Nike releases Donkey Kong-inspired Air Max 1 sneakers

Nike is set to release a new sneaker inspired by the classic video game Donkey Kong. The Nike Air Max 1 “Big Head Origins” will be available on March 26, coinciding with Air Max Day. This sneaker features a design that pays homage to 1990s gaming. The brown suede uses textures that mirror Donkey Kong's fur. The creamy mesh and yellow highlights reflect jungle elements and wooden barrels from the game. The Air Max 1 “Big Head Origins” will be offered for $160 on the Nike SNKRS app. Given previous sneaker releases, it's likely that these will sell out quickly. Fans of sneakers and retro gaming are encouraged to act fast. The sneakers go on sale at 7 AM PST on March 26. Don't miss your chance to get a pair of these unique shoes.
