Nike Air Max DN8 “Sundial” Now Available (August 2025)

UPDATE 8/1/25: The Air Max DN8 “Sundial” is now available on Nike.com.

Original Story 7/20/25:
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.

Nike released reflective sneakers in the past, but this colorway appears bolder than previous Shox TL drops. The icy blue appears bright and reflective when near a light source, giving this pair an aggressive and high-visibility look.

Nike branding on the tongue and heel add a sense of familiarity, while the molded cage nods to the OG’s aesthetic.

The all-leather upper in New Balance’s fall 2025 “Elevated Essentials” 1500 is a different take on New Balance’s timeless silhouette.

Vans Old Skool 36 “Souvenir Burgundy” Releases September 2025

UPDATE 7/30/25: A second colorway of the Vans Old Skool 36 “Souvenir” has just been revealed, this time featuring a rich burgundy color scheme. This release is a slight departure from the original “Souvenir” inspiration, yet it remains a key part of what makes the “Souvenir” series a recognizable staple of the line—the rough textured embroidered side stripe, and a group of vintage inspired button charms along the eyestay. The Burgundy Vans Old Skool 36 Souvenir is slated to drop this September 2025 from Vans and select skate retailers.

Original Story: 7/29/25:
Vans is diving deep into luxury inspiration with its latest release, the Old Skool 36 “Souvenir.” This special edition nods to the Chanel graffiti messenger bag from the Spring/Summer 2015 runway.

The silhouette is a wearable tribute to high-fashion rebellion. The uppers feature distressed canvas, mimicking the hand-painted chaos of the original Chanel piece. Multicolor tweed Jazz stripes run along the sides, while worn brown leather overlays and Vans-themed pins bring a collector’s flair.

The inside pops with a deep purple sockliner, and the aged vintage-style midsoles round out the design. Each pair looks like it’s been lived in and loved—just like the fashion piece that inspired it.

This isn’t the first time a skate brand has flirted with high fashion, but this may be one of Vans’ most direct references. It’s also a clever nod to the DIY culture of skateboarding and the rare appeal of haute couture.

The Vans Old Skool 36 “Souvenir” has already started arriving at select Vans Vault retailers and premium boutiques. An online release is set for July 31st for $125 USD.
