As voted by enthusiasts last year, the coveted Atmos x Nike Air Max 1 is making its return to retail this year. In a twist, the shoe is not only releasing on its own, but will also be part of a two-shoe pack with an Atmos-designed Air Jordan 3. While chasing both pairs may seem a bit redundant, there are a few major differences that will make it worth your while. Read on to see what's changed and keep an eye out for more information on both pairs ahead of the March 18 release date.

A fitting tribute to the heritage of the Jordan line, the pack version of the Atmos x Nike Air Max 1 is lined with elephant print insoles, while the solo release brings back the standard insoles from the original.

Numbered tags stitched to the backsides of the tongues on the pack release do not appear on the solo release.

Outsole

Perhaps the biggest difference on the pack release is a transluent update to the outsole, which bears a Jumpman logo near the forefoot.
