Nike is adding another colorway to the Air Max Dolce lineup for Fall/Winter 2026, this time covering the new model in Old Royal blue. The nearly one-color setup puts more attention on the shoe’s unusual shape and molded construction rather than relying on several colors across the upper.

Old Royal runs across the textile upper, tongue, and sculpted side panels. Instead of a standard lace system, a flexible grid stretches over the forefoot and wraps up toward the tongue. More molded detailing runs along the sides, while a glossy piece at the heel carries a small Swoosh. Black lines the collar and gives the bright blue upper some separation.

Underneath, the Air Max Dolce sits on a black midsole with a large visible Air unit placed at the heel. The outsole continues the black finish, mixing in small Old Royal sections through the tread. Inside, Nike uses a grid graphic on the insoles along with Air Max Dolce branding.

The Nike Air Max Dolce “Old Royal” releases during Fall/Winter 2026 on Nike.com and at select retailers. Retail price is set at $170.
