The Next Nike Air Max Zephyr Arrives Inspired by the OG Air Tuned Max

Select Model

Originally hidden inside midsoles, then showcasing its full glory with Air Max 1, the Nike Air Max Zephyr imagines a future where “Air’’ is everywhere — and boy is it on the Zephyr.

The brand-new silhouette from Nike is lightweight and ultra-modern and employs Air like no other Air Max in history. Three Nike Air pods engulf the pair at the medial and lateral sides and tongue — as well as the epic 720 Air unit in the rear. But it’s not just the audacious use of Air that’s leading the charge, with aleinisitc overlays — here in matte reflective and iridescent finishes akin to the OG Tuned Max from 1999 — and ultra chunk that beefs up the silhouette. Here, jet blacks surround the aforementioned overlays from liner to the midsole and everything in between, while its oversized Air supports opt for a muted volt visible only through the fully-translucent wrap-around bubbles. Completing the design is a sprinkling of red accents and insoles that celebrate the history of Air Max.

After debuting earlier this month, the silhouette’s newest colorway shouldn’t be too far behind — so you should expect to see a Nike.com release arrive in the coming weeks. Until then, enjoy a detailed look at the pair here below, and be sure to keep your eyes glued to our official Twitter account for further updates.
