Bold Gradient Tonal Sneakers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Nike Introduces the Air Max Dn8 Shoe in an Aqua Colorway

— March 4, 2025 — Fashion
Nike introduces a new tonal iteration of the Air Max Dn8 sneaker model for the Sping season ahead with the launch of the Aqua colorway joining its roster. The model has a retro language fused with a modern sense of comfort. The silhouette stands out with hues of dusty cactus, black, and Persian violet that make their way onto the textile upper.

The colors seamlessly flow together in a palm tree pattern, which blends into a gradient effect. This gives the upper a visual depth, followed by hints of black details to add some tonal contrast against the bright tones. The model rests on top of a Dynamic Air cushioning system for comfort with dark midsoles and a slightly clear purple outsole.
