King’s Day is a national holiday in the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Celebrated on April 27th, the date marks the birth of King Willem-Alexander. When the Dutch monarch is female, the holiday is known as Koninginnedag or Queen’s Day. This tradition features a nationwide vrijmarkt, or “free market,” where locals sell used items. Oranjegekte, or “orange madness,” dominates the day as citizens wear orange attire. All of this info is the inspiration behind the upcoming Nike Air Max 1 King’s Day. Arriving in Cacao Wow, Bright Mandarin, Amber Brown, Monarch, and Earth tones, this Air Max 1 honors the oranjegekte passion. Constructed out of premium materials, some of the sneaker’s defining features include the canvas and woodgrain-patterned textile accents on the heel, velcro tongue tags with a hidden stash pocket in them, leather lining and a mini Swoosh on the lateral side of the toe overlay. A Brown midsole atop a tri-colored durable rubber outsole complete the look.
