Nike's annual celebration of Jackie Robinson Day (April 15) will continue in 2024 with the release of a new Air Max 1 colorway in honor of the baseball legend.
Official Nike product images of the forthcoming "Jackie Robinson" Air Max 1 '86 reveal that the shoe will don a Brooklyn Dodgers-esque color scheme.
