By leveraging the same level of innovation that goes into elite performance silhouettes, Nike footwear designers built the Air Max Dn8 to provide all-day comfort and style inspired by fluidity and motion.For the first time, the Air Max Dn8 extends Nikes Dynamic Air technology to the full length of the foot, offering a new expression of how it feels to walk on Air.The silhouettes two Air units and eight tubes create a sustained, pressurized flow from the heel to the forefoot delivering unreal cushioning, flow, sensation and motion.The Air Max Dn8 will be available in a Hyper Pink colorway on SNKRS and at select retail partners February 6. The silhouette will be available globally at nike.com and select retail partners March 6, with additional mens, womens and kids colorways launching in the following weeks.Nike is inviting athletes, sneaker fans and those who challenge culture to explore its latest Air Max experiment, the Air Max Dn8, marking the latest chapter in the footwear cushioning revolution Nike began more than three decades ago.

For the first time, the Air Max Dn8 extends Nikes Dynamic Air technology to the full length of the foot, offering a new expression of how it feels to walk on Air.

Akin to its predecessor, the Air Max Dn, the new silhouette leverages dual-pressured air units to respond to pressure with every step, delivering unreal cushioning, flow, sensation and motion.

The Air Max Dn8 advances that innovation over two Air units and eight tubes that create a sustained, pressurized flow from the heel to the forefoot,pushing the boundaries of whats possible with Air.

For the Dn8, we wanted to be lower to the ground. We wanted to feel more Air. We wanted to improve transition, says Jonathan Kosenick, Lead Designer, Mens Sportswear. All of those goals led us to design the shoe with eight Air chambers directly in contact with the ground, which allows the chambers to more effectively compress and be way more flexible, delivering a much bouncier, springier sensation that channels a Nike performance footwear approach into a shoe you want to wear every day.

The Air Max Dn8s rear Air unit is comprised of two pressurized chambers, each with two tubes. The two chambers are specifically tuned with higher pressure in the back two tubes (15 psi) and lower pressure in the front two tubes (5 psi). With every step, air freely flows between the tubes in each chamber. The forefoot Air unit mirrors its rear counterpart, with air moving between two lower-pressure tubes in the back (5 psi) and two higher-pressure tubes in the front (15 psi).

Together, the dual Air units enable unreal responsiveness and all-day comfort thats possible only with Dynamic Air, leveraging the same level of innovation that goes into elite performance silhouettes to create optimal cushioning and heel-to-toe propulsion to accentuate every movement of the day.

A soft, breathable upper complements the Dynamic Air technology, and elevated materials deliver a premium feel and standout durability all with a bold style inspired by fluidity and motion.

When designing the Dn8, we kept thinking about what makes some of our favorite classic Air Max models so great: that you can put them on and go, and no matter what happens over the course of the day, that shoe is not only going to succeed, its going to exceed expectations, says Kosenick. We wanted to build a shoe that had the same sort of, go anywhere, do anything character an impulsivity, a versatility that will perform under any circumstance by harnessing the capabilities of Dynamic Air.

The Air Max Dn8 will be available in a Hyper Pink colorway on SNKRS and at select retail partners February 6. A red colorway will be available globally March 6, with additional mens, womens and kids colorways launching in the following weeks.Visit SNKRSto learn more about the design.
