Nike’s Air Max Craze finally landed last month, after the brand first teased the retro release late in 2024. New colorways of the slingback sneaker have continued to pop up, like this “Midnight Navy” pair coming this Summer.
The Air Max Craze by Nike originally released in 1999, under the banner of the Alpha Project. This series was a wide range of footwear options that each took a radical new approach to design in the performance running field, using new materials and concepts, some of which are still in use today. The Air Presto with its t-shirt inspired sizing and the Air Max Sunder were both fellow Alpha Project members.
The Air Max Craze took a somewhat minimal approach to its design, featuring a “slingback” heel counter that eliminated lots of excess materials and padding from the rear of the shoe. This made them extremely light, and very breathable for hot weather runs. Now, the Craze is back on shelves for the first time ever since its introduction nearly 30 years ago, and Nike has some new colorways coming soon. Today we have an early look at a “Midnight Navy” style, which pits the neoprene upper in a dark blue hue, with grey and white accents to complete the look.
