Nike Air Max 1 Red Stardust (W)
The Nike Air Max 1 Red Stardust (W) with style code DZ2628-103 brings a soft, feminine twist to Tinker Hatfield’s classic 1987 runner. This women’s exclusive colourway dresses the Air Max 1 in dusty pinks and warm off-whites, making it easy to wear with both casual streetwear and slightly smarter looks. Built on the original visible Air tooling and a breathable mesh upper, the Red Stardust edition keeps all the heritage details that made the model iconic, but upgrades them with plush suede and a vintage-inspired midsole. Released in late 2023 in the Sail / Cedar / Red Stardust / Coconut Milk / Black colourway, it has quickly become a go-to pair for Air Max fans who love neutral sneakers with a rosy edge.
Colorway: Sail / Cedar / Red Stardust / Coconut Milk / Black
The Nike Air Max 1 Red Stardust is built on a white mesh base that keeps the upper lightweight and breathable, true to the shoe’s running roots. Soft synthetic suede overlays in Cedar and Red Stardust wrap the mudguard, midfoot panels, Swoosh and heel, adding a plush, premium feel and giving the sneaker its characteristic dusty-rose look. A slightly darker shade of pink on the molded eyelets, Swoosh and wavy mudguard creates subtle contrast and depth without overpowering the design. Nike branding appears in Red Stardust on the tongue labels, insoles and embroidered heels, tying the colour story together from every angle. Underfoot, a Coconut Milk midsole brings that slightly aged, off-white vibe that’s perfect if you like vintage-inspired Air Max 1s, while the visible Air bubble in the heel keeps the cushioning distinctly 80s. A black rubber waffle outsole finishes off the Sail / Cedar / Red Stardust / Coconut Milk / Black palette and adds reliable grip for daily wear.
How does the Nike Air Max 1 Red Stardust (W) fit?
The Nike Air Max 1 Red Stardust (W) fits true to size for most people, and multiple European retailers advise sticking with your regular Nike or women’s Air Max 1 size.
The combination of mesh base and suede overlays gives a supportive, slightly structured feel around the midfoot, while the toe box offers standard room for everyday wear. Because the upper uses plush but fairly sturdy suede on the mudguard and heel, the shoe can feel mildly snug at first but softens up nicely after a few wears. If you have wider feet or prefer a bit more space at the front, going half a size up can add extra comfort, especially with thicker socks. For most wearers, however, true to size will provide the best balance of lockdown, comfort and shape on the Nike Air Max 1 Red Stardust DZ2628-103.
