The Air Max Dn features a dual-pressure air unit consisting of two pressurized chambers, each equipped with two higher-pressure tubes at the rear and lower pressure at the front.

“When I think about keeping an Air Max model fresh, color is actually the first thing I think of,” Juliana Sagat, Lead Footwear Designer for Nike Lifestyle. he said in a press release. “Typically you think of the visible air unit as conveying emotion, but we see color as a holistic tool to bring more emotion to a silhouette. The Dn was designed so that the color works precisely and harmoniously with the Dynamic Air platform, upper and overall profile of the shoe. When you can do that, your form of self-expression is limitless.”

Nike Air Max: A Brief History

Air Max has been around for almost 40 years. Nike debuted the innovative sneaker, designed by Tinker Hatfield, on March 26, 1987.

Paris, the Center Pompidou inspired the design for the original Air Max. As the story goes, Nike sent Hatfield to Paris for inspiration, which he found in the deconstructed design of the Center Pompidou – the building is essentially turned 'inside out' with all its mechanics on display. Hatfield channeled this idea into the Air Max's exposed air bubble.

The Air Max also features innovative cushioning technology for a more comfortable step. The shoe remains one of Nike's best sellers alongside the Nike Dunk and retro favorites like the Air Jordan 3 and Air Force 1.

Nike was celebrating Air Max Day since 2014, which usually marks the release of a new design. In addition to the Air Max Dn, Nike also revealed the Air Max 1 '86 Premium in new colorways.

The Nike Air Max Dn is available at nike.com, although some colorways are already sold out in select sizes. You can also find the Nike Air Max Dn in stores and on the SNKRS app.
