Toronto’s Better Gift Shop is back with another heater—this time teaming up with Nike on the bold Air Max DN8.
Designed with white, grey, and blue tones, the sneaker has more drip than Niagara Falls. The gradient mesh base darkens toward the heel, like your mood when the collab sells out. It’s stylish, it’s clean, and yes—it still has enough tech to make a robot jealous.
Nike’s mini Swoosh and lace loops get hit with icy blue. Meanwhile, the tongue flaunts Better Gift Shop branding like it’s flexing on every other boutique. Down below, a full-length Dynamic Air midsole pairs with a black and blue outsole for bounce you didn’t know you needed.
The collaboration captures urban creativity while honoring Nike’s futuristic design DNA. It’s like streetwear met sci-fi, had a baby, and made a sneaker. Even the Better Gift Shop mascot is seen rocking a giant version—because when you know, you know.
Expect the Better Gift Shop x Nike Air Max DN8 to launch on June 13, 2025 via Better Gift Shop, followed by a wider release on June 20th via Nike.com. The retail price tag is set at $210 USD.
In short, if you’re into rare collabs, city energy, and sneakers that go hard from toe to heel, this one’s for you.
