A clash of classics from the ’80s, the Air Max 1 EM is crafted a custom outfit inspired by Battle Cat from the cartoon He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, courtesy of Smooth Customs. An interesting silhouette and colorway to manipulate, it happens to work to the advantage of the customizer, matching Battle Cat’s armor, with the midsole and Swoosh altered to resemble the warrior feline’s stripped coat. Tossing the Nike Sportswear box, @jasonm114 was commissioned to create a coinciding custom sneaker chest, bearing Battle Cat’s armor.
