The Air Max 1 '86 Kids of Immigrants 'Light Armory Blue' Is the Most 'EXCLUSIVE' Shoe I Have.
Only 1986 pairs of the Air Max 1 x Kids of Immigrants 'Light Armory Blue' was released and I'm lucky enough to get my hands on a pair. This shoe is an '86 big bubble version of the Air Max 1 which uses the larger Nike Air unit that was on the original Air Max 1 shoe before it was retooled to use the visible Nike Air unit that we're all familiar with now. The Kids of Immigrants collection came with four colorways of the Air Max 1 '86, and this colorway was definitely my favorite out of the four.

Was I Wrong About the Air Jordan 1 Low OG 'Black Cement Elephant Print'? Review and On Feet!
