Original Story 7/30/25:
Nike continues to build its lineup of 3D-printed shoes with the Air Max 1000 “Black” — the newest colorway, which will drop exclusively at Zellerfeld.com.

Originally shown at ComplexCon 2023 earlier this year, the Nike Air Max 1000 gained attention for its sci-fi-like construction and exclusivity. Since then, the brand has experimented with regional drops like the “Blue” Paris pair and “Oatmeal” iteration that’s soon to drop on SNKRS.

This fresh “Black” variant sees a strictly black color scheme, with contrasting neon green Air Max 1000 heel unit and stark Future Bowerman branding. The silhouette itself is a nod to Tinker Hatfield’s original Air Max 1 design with that retro inspiration being woven into the futuristic 3D-printed design.

Made from Zellerfeld’s proprietary filament technology, the footwear offers a distinctive feel. Testers found the fit to be a tad snug, particularly in the toe box. The midsole offers plush cushioning in the forefoot with a firmer support around the heel.

For those who are tracking Nike’s most innovative release yet, stay tuned.

The Nike Air Max 1000 “Black” will release on August 19, 2025 exclusively through Zellerfeld. The retail price tag is set at $180 USD.
