Nike Air Max 1 Susan Missing Link – A Dandy Adventure in Sneaker Form
In a bold fusion of animation, fashion, and sneaker culture, Nike teams up with LAIKA Studios to unveil the Nike Air Max 1 Susan Missing Link, a whimsical and highly detailed special edition. Designed by Tinker Hatfield, this unique release pays tribute to the animated film Missing Link and its eccentric protagonist, Mr. Link – also known as Susan, a lovable Bigfoot in search of his identity.
Released in April 2019, the sneaker embodies the character’s quirky and stylish personality, combining premium materials, playful textures, and storytelling elements to deliver one of the most creative Air Max 1 collabs to date.
Character-Inspired Craftsmanship
The upper starts with a white textile base, overlaid with suede inserts and yellow printed details mimicking the woolly look of Mr. Link’s yeti-like coat. The green jacket he wears is represented by forest green paneling, while refined cufflink-inspired top eyelets add a charming touch of class.
Finishing off the design is a brown leather-wrapped midsole and a gum rubber outsole, grounding the shoe with earthy tones that contrast the wild, colourful upper. Every element on this sneaker tells a story – from animation to lifestyle.
Why the Air Max 1 Susan Stands Out:
-
🎬 Inspired by the Film Missing Link – A wearable tribute to LAIKA’s 2019 animated adventure.
-
👞 Dandy Aesthetic – Unique details like cufflink eyelets and vintage jacket tones add flair.
-
👟 Crafted with Premium Materials – Leather, suede, and custom prints ensure quality and comfort.
-
💨 Iconic Air Max Cushioning – Built on the trusted tech of Tinker Hatfield’s classic design.
Whether you’re a film enthusiast, a sneaker collector, or simply someone with a bold sense of style, the Nike Air Max 1 Susan is a conversation starter that turns heads and tells a story.
