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

Retro Superpower

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 modernised look of the Pre-Day tooling fits perfectly with this mash-up of heritage meets innovation. With its chiselled heel and visible Air Max cushioning (originally designed for performance running), it delivers a fresh take on tried-and-tested comfort.

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 colour combinations and reliable, lightweight cushioning.
