Paying homage to both heritage and innovation, we've blended 2 icons (old and new) to go beyond what's expected in the Nike Air Max Flyknit Racer. Incredibly light and airy Flyknit pairs with oh-so-comfy Air Max cushioning. Lace up and let your feet do the talking.

Nike Air Max Origins

Revolutionary Air technology first made its way into Nike footwear in 1978. In 1987, the Air Max 1 debuted with visible Air technology in its heel, allowing fans more than just the feel of Air cushioning—suddenly they could see it. Since then, next-generation Air Max shoes have become a hit with athletes and collectors by offering striking color combinations and reliable, lightweight cushioning.

Retro Super Power

Inspired by the 2012 FK Racer, the featherweight, form-fitting Flyknit upper is as revolutionary as it is good looking. Plus, the nearly seamless design adds a sporty edge.

Best Made Better

The modernized look of the Pre-Day tooling fits perfectly with this mashup of heritage meets innovation. With its chiseled heel and expressive window around the Air Max cushioning (originally designed for performance running) it delivers a fresh take on tried-and-true comfort.
