Nike Air Max Joga Bonito Black University Red

The Nike Air Max Joga Bonito Black University Red with style code IO1753-001 revives the name of Nike's 2006 Joga Bonito campaign, the one built around the joy of Brazilian football. This model translates those football roots onto an Air Max silhouette made for daily wear, with visible Air cushioning under the heel. In Black with University Red the build stays dark and sharp, with just enough red to make the sporting origin visible.

Colorway: Black / University Red

The Nike Air Max Joga Bonito Black University Red is built around a black upper alternating mesh and synthetic overlays. Dark Smoke Grey runs through the panels and adds depth inside the dark palette, while University Red returns on the swoosh and in smaller accents as the only bright contrast. White details on the midsole and in the branding break things up and keep the silhouette's lines readable. Underfoot sits Air Max cushioning with a visible unit in the heel, finished with a rubber outsole whose tread nods to football. The dark base makes the IO1753-001 an easy match for track pants, cargos and denim.

How does the Nike Air Max Joga Bonito Black University Red fit?

This model generally fits true to size, so your regular Nike size is usually the right call. The mesh upper is supple and wraps comfortably at a fairly standard width. If you have wider feet or sit between two sizes, half a size up on the IO1753-001 adds room across the forefoot.
