Nike Air Max 1 Clot Kiss Of Death Solar Red

This striking collaboration between Nike and Hong Kong’s CLOT dropped on July 20, 2021. The sneaker is a modern homage to a legendary friends-and-family exclusive designed for Kanye West in 2007. Featuring a mix of Solar Red, University Red, and Cool Grey, this pair radiates energy and exclusivity. The blend of leather and mesh, semi-translucent sole, and lack of lining give this model an unparalleled look.

History and exclusivity of Kiss Of Death Solar Red

The original 2007 version, with only four pairs made, is one of the rarest Air Max 1 releases ever. In 2021, CLOT revived this iconic look, including details like the thin ankle collar and CLOT branding on the heel. The reissue keeps the mystique of the original but finally makes it accessible to a wider audience.

Care for this fiery classic

Protect the leather and mesh with a reliable dirt and water repellent spray. For mesh cleaning, we recommend a waterless foam cleaner, while leather can be safely cleaned with a powerful leather cleaner.

To maintain shape and freshness, use quality shoe trees and fresh insoles. Thanks to the bold colors, this pair is perfect for summer but the grey accents also make it wearable in fall.

Best laces for the Solar Red

Though there’s no official Lace Pack, red or grey laces match this design perfectly. Red laces amplify the statement vibe, while grey adds balance and contrast. Swap your laces to keep the design fresh and expressive.

How to style this fiery collaboration

Pair this sneaker with neutral tones to make the red accents pop. Think black pants with a grey hoodie, or white shorts with an oversized red shirt. This sneaker deserves the spotlight—let your outfit support it.

Our take on Solar Red

Rik: This pair breathes history and innovation. The link to Kanye’s tour, the visual impact of those red tones, and the unlined feel make this a unique experience. I love wearing them when I really want to stand out. For fans of iconic kicks with a story, this is a must-have release.
