Nike continues to expand its future-facing lineup with the Air Max Craze, now arriving in a sleek “Smoky Blue” colorway. Designed with innovation and utility in mind, the silhouette draws cues from outdoor performance gear and blends it with street-ready appeal.

The upper features a slip-on build composed of a shimmering, smoky blue textile that wraps the foot in a glove-like fit. A toggle-based lacing system rests on the forefoot for easy adjustment, reinforcing the utility-forward aesthetic. Black hits on the toe cap, collar, and heel tabs provide contrast and durability, while perforated molded TPU side panels add structure and nod to trail-inspired design language.

Underfoot, the Air Max Craze boasts visible Air units in both the heel and forefoot—offering comfort with a responsive edge. The two-piece foam midsole combines white and black sections to further accentuate the sneaker’s sculpted shape, while a speckled outsole adds a rugged finish and grip for varied surfaces.

This “Smoky Blue” edition highlights the Air Max Craze’s balance of lifestyle and performance. It builds on Nike’s recent momentum around hybridized models that fuse archival cushioning with utility-minded aesthetics, signaling a continued push into versatile footwear options.

The Nike Air Max Craze “Smoky Blue” is expected to release Fall 2025 through Nike.com and select retailers.
