Nike Air Max DN "Darth Maul" Brings Sith-Inspired Vibes for Summer 2025

Nike’s Air Max DN takes on a bold and menacing look with its upcoming "Darth Maul" colorway, set to release in Summer 2025. While not an official collaboration with Star Wars—thanks to the franchise’s ongoing deal with Adidas—the striking black and red design draws a loose connection to the iconic Sith Lord’s aesthetic.

The "Darth Maul" Air Max DN features streaking red overlays across a sleek black base, evoking a sense of power and aggression reminiscent of Maul’s signature dual-bladed lightsaber and iconic complexion. The shoe’s sharp lines and bold contrasts further enhance the Sith-like vibe, while the oversized Air cushioning pods in the sole add a futuristic and bulbous element to the design.

This striking color palette is no stranger to Nike, having famously debuted on the Air Jordan 1 "Bred" and becoming a cornerstone of the brand’s visual identity.

Official images of the "Darth Maul" Air Max DN have been revealed, and the pair is expected to hit shelves in Summer 2025.

Stay tuned for release updates and details, which will be reflected on Nike’s dedicated Nike Release Dates Calendar in the coming weeks.
