Nike’s 3D-Printed Air Max 1000 "Oat" Releases Aug. 19

Nike is officially stepping into the future of footwear with the release of the Air Max 1000 “Oatmeal,” a fully 3D-printed sneaker produced in partnership with Zellerfeld. Slated for a Summer 2025 release at $210, the innovative model was first unveiled at ComplexCon late last year, where it generated buzz for its futuristic construction and bold design cues.

Engineered with Zellerfeld’s cutting-edge 3D-printing technology, the Air Max 1000 ditches traditional shoe assembly methods in favor of a one-piece printed build. The “Oatmeal” colorway highlights its intricately woven lattice structure with a clean monochromatic palette, offset by a bright red visible Air unit in the heel. Underfoot, the sole features a textured grid for multi-directional grip and added flexibility.

The sneaker’s digitally molded form is designed to provide a custom-like fit with minimal waste, reinforcing Nike’s growing interest in sustainability and next-gen production methods. Subtle Swoosh branding, heel tabs with technical detailing, and interior “MADE IN GERMANY” markings add to its premium feel.

With the Air Max 1000, Nike is testing the boundaries of comfort, design, and environmental responsibility — blending familiar Air Max heritage with radical new manufacturing.

On July 29, Nike released a SNKRS special piece on the upcoming Air Max 1000, hinting of the upcoming release. You can grab a look at the SNKRS special slides below.

A 10-minute draw for the debut "Oatmeal" pair will take place via the SNKRS app on Tuesday, Aug. 19, for $210.
