The Nike Air Max 1 Golf Tiger, as the name suggests, is a golf sneaker that comes with a jagged outsole to give you enough traction on the greens. The upper of the sneaker comes in black near the toe box and is covered by a tiger skin themed print throughout in light orange and brown. This appears around the toe box, throughout the back of the shoe, the midfoot, and the tongue as well. Black laces sit on top the tongue, while the Nike Swooshes that appear on both sides of the sneaker appear in a light green color. The large midsole of the shoe appears in white and is covered by a black outsole. You can also see a transparent Air Max bubble under the heel from the side of the shoe, giving it the quintessential Air Max 1 look.

You also get a black tongue, socklining, and an overlay that sits just above the midsole of the sneaker. Another splash of color on the sneaker comes in the form of white laces and tiny white Nike Swooshes on the side.
