Last week, Nike unveiled their latest innovation in the Air Max family via a press release; the Air Max 1000. The model is the brand’s first-ever 3D-printed shoe, and released in small numbers at ComplexCon this weekend. Additionally, they showed off some new colors coming in 2025.
The Air Max 1000 is the Swoosh’s first foray into the world of 3D-printed sneakers. They first showed off the shoe last week ahead of its debut this weekend, detailing their team-up with Zellerfeld, the German printing company. Pairs at ComplexCon were limited, but Nike was also offering preorders the the all red model via a slot machine as one might expect from a Las Vegas-based convention.
In addition to the new model’s debut, Nike also brought along a handful of other colors for the shoe that are expected to release when the 1000 makes its global debut in Spring of 2025. All four styles shown are tonal, and come in blue, white, orange, or black, the latter of which is the only pair to feature a colored Air bag in Volt green. The shoes are reportedly rubbery in nature, and have a texture akin to the foam used to create adidas’ YZY Foam Runner, though those shoes are injection molded and not printed.
Nike’s launch of the new Air Max 1000 slip-on this weekend was only the initial tease of the innovative new sneaker. Pairs are expected to arrive globally in Spring 2025, and will include blue, black, orange, and white styles. No pricing for the shoe has been made public yet.
