The Nike Air Max DN8 is back — and this time, we’re talking bold color and heavy tech. Introducing the new “Sundial” colorway.
From upper to tongue, the sneakers are doused in neon orange. A dose of contrast is introduced by way of the Dark Smoke Grey midsole, inside of which sits eight Dynamic Air pods from Nike’s next-gen lineup. The system offers eight pods from heel to toe, delivering seamless movement and a superior energy return.
The upper is lightweight and breathable, a blend of ripstop mesh and contoured overlays that accentuate movement. The profile is modern, but also references previous iterations of Air Max. The design lines are lifted from the aerodynamic-focused age of the early 2000s. Mini Swooshes and a basic tongue logo keep design details basic, so you can let the tech and colorway do the talking.
Flip the silhouette over and you’ll see red traction pods and a transparent shank plate, another visual cue that this model is serious about getting the job done on the ground. As for comfort, it’s among the most responsive Air systems to come from Nike in recent memory, firm where it needs to be, plush where you want it to be.
The Nike Air Max DN8 “Sundial” will release August 1, 2025 on SNKRS and with select Nike Sportswear retailers. Price tags are set at $200 USD in men’s sizing.
If you like your sneakers loud and your silhouettes futuristic, this might just be your favorite DN8 drop yet.
