Air Max Day traces back to March 26, 2014, when Nike officially introduced the annual celebration. The date honors the debut of the Air Max 1, which first launched on March 26, 1987. That first event set the tone with a limited Air Max 1 “3.26” release, highlighted by its neon green outsole. Since then, Air Max Day has grown into a yearly moment where Nike drops new designs, revives classics, and delivers special collaborations tied to the franchise’s legacy.

For 2026, Nike is pushing things forward with the debut of the Air Liquid Max in a “Black/Green Apple” colorway. The design pulls inspiration from nature, specifically the Poison Dart Frog, giving the model a bold and energetic look.
Alongside the new silhouette, familiar favorites are making a return. The Air Max 95 “Pink Foam” is set to restock, while updated versions of the “Greedy” Air Max 95 and a “Paisley Bandana” edition join the mix. Nike is also adding an “Infrared Reflective” Air Max 90 to round out the lineup.
All pairs are scheduled to release on March 26, 2026 through SNKRS as part of the Air Max Day celebration. Additional drops or surprise restocks may also surface, with more updates expected closer to launch.
