Nike Unveils The Air Max 1000

Nike is set to make a massive splash at this year’s ComplexCon, not just as a participant but as a true centerpiece of the event. The brand will offer attendees an exclusive look into the future of sneaker innovation, culture, and storytelling with immersive experiences and an impressive showcase. Among the highlights of Nike's presentation will be the debut of the Nike Air Max 1000, a groundbreaking 3D-printed sneaker set to redefine the Air Max legacy.

The Air Max 1000 is a modern reimagining of the iconic Air Max 1, merging the classic design with futuristic 3D printing technology. Created in collaboration with Zellerfeld, a leader in advanced 3D printing, the Air Max 1000 showcases Nike’s continued commitment to pushing the boundaries of footwear manufacturing. This new silhouette represents a significant leap forward, featuring a design that is as fluid and expressive as it is functional.

As part of the Air Max 1000 Experience at ComplexCon, attendees will not only get a first look at the innovative shoe but will also have a chance to win an exclusive pair—available only at the event. The experience will also offer a deep dive into the history of Nike’s Air technology, including original prototypes and a look at the pioneering work of Frank Rudy, the inventor of encapsulated air.

John Hoke, Nike's Chief Innovation Officer, expressed his excitement about the new model, noting, “What’s most exciting to me about the Air Max 1000 are the new solutions we can achieve with next-level manufacturing. It’s control, times precision, times expression—all of which are vital to sport and to design. When those variables are multiplied at once, the future of our product really does feel unlimited.”

The Air Max 1000 marks a new chapter in the evolution of Air technology, blending the precision of modern manufacturing with the expression of innovative design. Be sure to check it out at ComplexCon and get a glimpse of what’s next in sneaker innovation, per Nike News Room.
