Nike Air Max 1 Crepe Soft Grey

The Nike Air Max 1 Crepe Soft Grey with style code FD5088-001 brings a refined, tonal twist to one of Nike’s most iconic runners. As a premium take on the classic Air Max 1, this Crepe edition pairs soft grey tones with a vintage-inspired sole for a look that feels both modern and rooted in heritage. The design subtly nods to the legendary Air Max 1 “Crepe Hemp” by bringing back the crepe outsole, but switches things up with a monochrome grey upper that’s easy to style every day. With its mix of suede, leather, canvas and visible Air cushioning, the Nike Air Max 1 Crepe Soft Grey is built for sneakerheads who love neutral colourways with a lot of texture.

Colorway: Soft Grey / Neutral Grey / Thunder Grey

The Nike Air Max 1 Crepe Soft Grey is built on a soft grey canvas base that keeps the shoe lightweight and gives the upper a slightly textured, casual feel. Over the top sit buttery Thunder Grey suede overlays around the toe, mudguard, eyestays and heel, adding structure and a premium touch without overpowering the subtle colour palette. A tumbled leather Swoosh in Neutral Grey breaks up the upper and brings an extra layer of depth to the design. The midsole comes in a Sail shade rather than bright white, which reinforces the vintage vibe and pairs perfectly with the natural crepe rubber outsole underneath. That crepe sole not only delivers extra grip and durability, but also ties the pair back to the cult-favourite Crepe Air Max 1 releases from the past. Together, the soft greys, Sail midsole and gum-coloured crepe outsole make FD5088-001 one of the most versatile and wearable Air Max 1 Crepe colourways.

How does the Nike Air Max 1 Crepe Soft Grey fit?

The Nike Air Max 1 Crepe Soft Grey generally fits true to size, so most people can safely choose their regular Nike Air Max 1 or everyday Nike size. The combination of canvas base, suede overlays and padded collar creates a snug but comfortable fit that works well for standard-width feet. Because the upper uses more structured suede around the mudguard and toe, the pair can feel slightly firm out of the box, but it softens up nicely after a few wears. If you have wider feet, sit between two sizes or prefer a bit more room in the toe box, going half a size up can add extra comfort, especially if you plan to wear the sneaker all day. For most wearers, though, true to size will offer the best balance between a secure lockdown and everyday comfort on the Nike Air Max 1 Crepe Soft Grey FD5088-001.
