Nike rolls out new 3D‑printed Air Max sneakers for 2026
Nike unveiled the Air Liquid Max “Black Metallic” sneaker, featuring a wavy printed upper with metallic silver lines on a black base, a light‑army green midsole, burnt‑orange Air pods and a low‑profile, point‑loaded Air cushioning unit. The model is scheduled for a July 2026 release and is priced at $220.
In partnership with Zellerfeld, Nike also announced the Air Max 1000.2 “Black/Hyper Crimson”. The shoe uses a fully 3D‑printed, one‑piece upper that combines checkerboard, smooth and stretched‑mesh textures, with a Hyper Crimson highlight inside the exposed Air unit. The new production method allows larger volumes and faster colour updates. It is slated for a Fall 2026 launch at $180.
