Nike's Air Max DN Appears with A "Red Orbit" Patterned Upper

The Nike Air Max DN might not have taken off exactly how the brand would've liked, but it continues to enjoy a cult-like following.

A special collaboration with Supreme shortly after its debut in 2024 gave the silhouette some cachet, as did co-signs from the likes of Corteiz's Clint419. The bulk of the sneaker's appeal, however, has come from its own merit, as a slew of colorways have allowed people of all style preferences to enjoy the futuristic design. A newly-surfaced 'Dark Smoke Grey/Red Orbit/Black/Sweet Beet' option will surely join rotations of some bold dressers.

Akin to other Air Max DN releases (and the impending Air Max DN8 that'll 'replace' it as the line's marquee product), the unreleased style takes on an eye-catching makeover across its breathable upper. 'Red Orbit' and 'Sweet Beet' come together to form an abstract pattern partly-reminiscent of heat maps and other scientific presentations. The remainder of the shoe keeps things simple in 'Dark Smoke Grey', with Dynamic Air bubbles underfoot deviating in a bold yellow.

Enjoy official photos of the pair ahead. Its inspiration has yet to be disclosed by the brand, but that and a firm Nike.com release date is likely to change by April.
