Nike is reviving another sneaker from the turn-of-the-century Alpha Project this year, bringing the Air Max Craze back to their catalog for the first time. This week, a new all-white pair has surfaced, coming soon.
In 1999, Nike introduced the Alpha Project, a series of brand new footwear designs and innovations that focused on athlete-first technology. Many of the shoes introduced are still major parts of the Swoosh’s history, like the Air Presto, Air Tuned Max, and Flightposite, all of which have seen retro releases in recent years. During their last SNKRS Showcase, they unveiled the next Alpha shoe to return; the Air Max Craze.
Released after the initial wave of Alpha sneakers, the Craze made its first appearance in the early 2000s. The shoe was designed as an ultralight running shoe, stripping down a performance shoe to strictly what was necessary. This meant a mule-like design with a strap reaching around the heels, and a zippered shroud for aerodynamics. With the Craze returning this Spring, a new all-white style has appeared this week, with accents in Metallic Gold and Copper Moon.
